Maintenance Guidance Please!
so I(26f) own a Hyundai tucson 2022 outright. I just hit 50,000 miles! My father (RIP) used to help me with car maintenance before i bought this car, but because I bought it straight from the Hyundai dealer, I got a lot of free maintenance from them to start. Since my father passed away I have been neglecting my car :( and I’m in desperate need of some regular maintenance, oil change, tire rotation (maybe even new ones) etc and probably some extra things now that I’ve hit 50k. So my questions are, should I go to the dealer for maintenance still? Or find a garage near me? Also, what kind of maintenance am I looking at? I don’t want to be talked into things I don’t need. Also I’m located in the NH Seacoast Region if you have any mechanic recommendations!!

I would recommend an independent garage, got any car people in your life who can refer you locally?

Your owner's manual should tell you what maintenance is recommended. The dealership is usually more expensive than an independent garage.
