Hyundai Ends Complimentary Maintenance in 2026 – Central Vermont Auto Mart Has a Better Way to Save!
Complimentary Maintenance Ends - Here's a Smarter Alternative in Montpelier, Vermont
Starting with model year 2026, Hyundai will discontinue its Complimentary Maintenance Program for vehicles sold in the United States. This program, which previously offered 3 years or 36,000 miles of free scheduled maintenance on new Hyundai vehicles, will no longer be included as standard equipment for new buyers.

In some cases, they have reported saving 20-50% over the prices quoted by new car dealerships. And unlike some prepaid plans with fine print, there are no surprises here-just honest service at fair prices.
Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Prices were very competitive and they saved me over $400 from a competitor's quote. I will definitely be returning and recommending this business to others.

💡 The Takeaway: Great Service Doesn't Have to Come with a High Price Tag
With Hyundai's complimentary maintenance program ending, or for that matter any prepaid maintenance plan ending, you will now be expected to pay more for the same services that were recently free. And while prepaid maintenance packages are being marketed heavily by new car dealerships, they aren't your only option. Weve seen examples where the cost of a prepaid Oil Change Plan cost more than if joined our VIP Oil Change Club and took advantage of our regular low prices and get every fifth oil change for free.
At Central Vermont Auto Mart, we believe in providing top-tier maintenance without the top-tier price tag. Whether you're a Hyundai owner or drive another brand, we're here to help you keep your vehicle in great shape, extend its life, and save money in the process.
