Hi,
I'm considering purchasing a new Elantra. I'm a DIY'er and would like
to know:

Are there detailed books, CD roms, etc that are available to do
service, maintenance, etc? Does Hyundai sell the service manuals to
DIY'ers?
Are parts availibility a problem?
Is there a scan tool specific to the Elantra or is generic okay?
Any help is appreciated.

Thanks,
Dermott

The factory manuals are posted online at Hyundai WebTech. Access is free.

You can order them if you feel the need for a hard copy. I prefer to
simply print out the pages I need from the web site as I need them.

Not if you have a dealer nearby. Aftermarket replacements for wear items
are readily available.

I'm not sure. Perhaps someone else here can answer that.
