** The Hyundai repair market for Salkum residents is regional rather than local. Residents must travel 15-30 minutes to Chehalis, Centralia, or Olympia for specialized service. The market is split between the convenience and factory backing of the Olympia dealership (**Dick Murray's**) and the highly-specialized, often more personalized independent shops (**Korean Auto Service, All-Wheel Drive Automotive**). Competition is moderate among specialists, with **Korean Auto Service** holding a distinct reputation as the go-to expert for the most problematic Hyundai engine and transmission issues. Pricing at the independents is typically 10-30% below dealership labor rates, but for warranty and recall work, the dealership is the necessary and often sole option. Quality is generally high among these top providers, all of which have sustained excellent reviews over several years.
