Douglas Y., ON (2011 Hyundai Elantra 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"noise in front end - right strut had to be replaced"
William H., ME (2011 Hyundai Elantra Touring 1.8-L 4 Cyl)"Immediately after the warranty ran out (2 months after) and it had been at the Hyundai Service department just prior to that, the timing belt needed to be changed as per the maintenance guidelines. An inspection was done for the 96000KM maintenance at that department which was where they came back with a $3200 bill for repairs. This included brakes, rotors, struts, and the timing belt replacement. Found out from a 2nd opinion later that the brakes did NOT need replacing but the front struts did"
