Daylight savings is quickly approaching and on March 10 we will officially lose one hour of sleep in the morning. For Massachusetts residents, daylight savings begins this year on March 10, 2019 when the clocks should reset from 2am to 3am.

Daylight savings will end on Nov 3, 2019 and we will regain that hour once again. In either scenario, or on the off-chance you just need the general knowledge, it is important to know how to change the time for your various appliances--and especially for your Hyundai vehicle.

If you're driving your Hyundai vehicle and you suddenly notice a dashboard alert or a light flick on, find out what it means and then schedule an appointment with our service center.

Not all Hyundai vehicles are the same--there are some differences between warning lights in newer and older models, but the following examples can be used as a general guide if you encounter an issue.

Hyundai sedans can go toe-to-toe with every competitor's sedan in their class because few can match the value, adaptability, reliability, and overall driving experience of the Hyundai sedans on our car lot. This includes a variety of Ford sedans, which, you may have heard, won't be around for much longer.

If there's one thing that most drivers share in common, it's a desire to get the most out of their cars. You want to be able to hit the road confident that it will last for years to come. One of the best ways to help with this? Making sure you do your part to take care of your vehicle.

That's a task that can be easier said than done. Every driver has little habits, and it can be hard to identify when you're driving in a way that can negatively affect your vehicle and its…

Hyundai's hybrid and electric technology is a cut above. Hyundai hybrid-electric vehicles use an exclusive high-capacity lithium-ion polymer battery system, which makes them some of the most advanced vehicles available in their class.

Hyundai is so confident in the quality, durability, and longevity of these advanced battery systems that they offer a Lifetime Hybrid/Electric Battery Warranty. If that battery does fail, Hyundai will replace it and recycle the old battery free of charge to the original owner. A hybrid warranty like this simply isn't available anywhere else.

With Hyundai, safety comes first. Every Hyundai is engineered for maximum safety--every aspect of every Hyundai vehicle is carefully crafted to meet the highest standards. That's why it's no surprise that the 2018 Hyundai Santa Fe, Tucson, Sonata, Santa Fe Sport, Ioniq HEV, Elantra, and Elantra GT all earned IIHS Top Safety Pick ratings.

Its tax season again and for many people its time to figure out how to spend their refund. So many options are tugging at your wallet hoping for a chance to entice you to spend. So what do you do? Do you head to the furniture store or the electronics store? Do you put in the bank and save it? Well, who really does that. How about joining around a third of Americans by spending that refund to buy a new car?

The average refund is around $3,000, and if you need a new car, that can go a…
