04 Elantra GT - Price to rotate and balance tires, plus headlight bulb experiences

Neil 12 April 2005 20:48:00
 I'm going to have my tires rotated and balanced as part of my 21k service
tomorrow (missed the 18k so playing catch up). I've been offered $30 as
opposed to the normal $40, but just want to know if i'm being taken for a
ride as I get the oil change for free.

Also, one of my head light bulbs has blown. I recall reading this is common
on the Elantra, but just curious what the experience is of others.
Fortunately it's covered under the warranty.

Sounds about right, see if you can get them to throw in
a wheel alignment.

If they're actually re-balancing the wheels, it's a decent price.

I had a low beam bulb burn out a few days past one year. I checked the
warranty book and bulbs are listed under "what's not covered", so I just
replaced both of them with Silverstars. I probably could have gotten a
free replacement, but the other side would probably have burned out in
short order and I'd rather just install better bulbs and be done with it.

I believe the wheels were balanced also, but I have no reason to doubt them
as the run home on I-495 saw me reach 80-90MPH with no discernible
vibration.

I was assured that the bulb was covered under the 5yr warranty, but it
doesn't matter because the bulb appears to be working again. I don't know
what it is but every time I go into that service dept with a bulb-related
issue (previously interior light), they come back and say it's fine. I'm
going to keep an eye on it incase it becomes intermittant.
