Hyundai has extended its roadside assistance program to cover all models from 1 August and launched www.myhyundai.com.au - an online communications tool for Hyundai owners.

Hyundai Roadside Assist Program is provided by Assist Australia in partnership with motoring organizations like the RACQ, NRMA and RACV. Operating 365 days per year and 24 hours per day, the standard service for owners of Hyundai Getz, Elantra, i20, i30, iLoad and iMax covers flat batteries, running our of fuel, flat tyres or being locked out of your vehicle.

Owners of Hyundai ix35, i45, Santa Fe and models receive the Premium Program which extends to overnight accommodation where required.

If the vehicle cannot be driven, the service includes towing to the nearest Hyundai service outlet.

All new Hyundai vehicles sold after 1 August include Hyundai Roadside Assist Program for 12 months (as well as Hyundai’s existing five-year/unlimited kilometer warranty).

The online service www.myhyundai.com.au allows owners to maintain dialogue directly with Hyundai. Owners can update their contact details as they change during ownership of their vehicle and will receive reminders about scheduled servicing and special offers.

Hyundai says this is just stage one of its online tools and further owner benefits will be rolled out.
