Alicia, if he is a licenced mechanic then you are all set. Just get him to 
do the work and keep the receipts. Better yet if you get him to sign off on 
the Maintenance Log book.

Get him to do exactly what is stated in the Maintenance Schedule for the 
Normal Schedule, regardless of what his printout says. Hyundai is the one 
who has to back the warranty, not the mechanic.

If you have to replace plugs then get at least the same plugs that the car 
came with or equivalent -- platinum-tipped plugs I believe. I like the Bosch 
Platinum Plus 4 
(http://www.boschusa.com/AutoParts/SparkPlugs/PlatinumPlus4/) when I had my 
EGT and used them from the start. Some people like the NGK platinum plugs 
(http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/products/cars_trucks_suvs/platinum.asp?nav=11300&country=US) 
or the NGK iridium plugs 
(http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/products/cars_trucks_suvs/iridiumix.asp?nav=11420&country=US). 
You can't go wrong if you get the cheapest of the Hyundai OEM plugs for this 
car or the abovementioned plugs.
