I took my Hyundai Getz, Gina, to Hyundai Global City, the Fort Bonifacio Hyundai center, for her 20,000km checkup. If you recall, Gina’s 15,000km checkup cost PHP2,900. This time around, however, the estimate was much higher: PHP8,816.00. I asked why this was so, and was told that the 20,000km checkup is a significant milestone in the Hyundai Getz’s history, and parts replacements would be necessary to keep your Hyundai Getz in tiptop shape.

Of course, you don’t compromise quality for your car. You scrimp on your Hyundai Getz, it’ll come back to haunt you. So I said, okay, please do what you need to do. The total amount of work it takes to run through a Hyundai Getz for 20,000km is 6.7 hours, which means you should bring your Hyundai Getz in early to ensure it’s ready for you by 5PM. (In my case, I don’t mind, since I brought her in coded; she’ll be out by 7PM, and the cashier at Hyundai Global City will wait until 10 for you if she has to. Don’t make her, though.)
