As my Hyundai i30 will need it's annual/two year service next month and with many dealerships being closed or only open for 'key' workers, I was concerned that not being able to have it serviced would invalidate the 5 year warranty.

On looking at the Hyundai website, it has a COVID-19 Frequently Asked Questions (faqs) page (www.hyundai.co.uk/covid-19/faqs).

In a faq about servicing and warranty query, the following was posted:

At the moment, only some of our dealer service centres are open and they are prioritising key workers and emergency service vehicles so it is unlikely that routine maintenance and servicing can be completed during this time. For vehicles under warranty an automatic extension of 1500 miles will be applied; the time limit being open ended. This will continually be reviewed in line with future government guidance. Please note that all other terms and conditions of the warranty must be met. The mileage extension is based on the Government's recommendation that no unnecessary journeys are to be made.

There's also faqs together with answers on other relevant issues Hyundai owners may want to have a look at.

Stay home. Protect the NHS. Saves lives. 

I know hyundai do not get too many problems with their diesel dpf due to it being so near the engine thus getting hot faster. I'm hoping it's the same with the petrol version otherwise why bother to choose this version for shorter journeys.

Apart from my inherent dislike for diesel clatter, I'm also wondering why this sudden urgency for ppf when electric/hybrid vehicles are shortly due to take over.

Are we supposed to add a little disinfectant to our car shampoo concoctions?

It appears that Hyundai are joining other manufacturers in extending their warranty service period during this Covid 19 crisis.

I just wondered how members are coping with the present Covid 19 crisis.
Apart from food needs and back garden exercise my family and I have been trying to observe all the rules/regulations applicable at this terrible time.
Full of praise for all NHS Workers, care assistants, key workers and all the staff keeping this country running at great risk to themselves.
