Compare Hyundai I20 car alarm repair quotes from specialist garages

The i20 is a practical, efficient and stylish small car, making it a popular choice for urban commuters. There is a more exciting side to this model, too, because it is used as the basis for Hyundai's rally car, competing in the World Rally Championships (WRC).

At the 2023 WhatCar? Awards, the Hyundai i20 N was crowned 'Hot Hatch of the Year' - a highly sought-after title - earning praise for its "brilliant body control and grip". Two years before, it was also named 'Car of the Year' at Top Gear's annual awards. The most recent generation of the i20 is exceptionally reliable; in earlier models from 2009-15, watch for signs of clutch wear and blocked DPFs in diesel engines.

Car alarms use sensors around the vehicle to detect unusual vibrations, which could indicate someone is breaking in. When movement is detected, a high-pitched alarm is triggered. Most vehicles come with a factory-fitted alarm system, but car alarm fitters can install other aftermarket systems for extra peace of mind.

If your car alarm keeps sounding without any apparent cause, not only is it frustrating, but it also means something is broken, so booking a car alarm repair is a matter of urgency. Several things could be causing the problem, such as faulty sensors, wiring issues, a broken key fob or a low battery.

A car alarm fault repair is usually quick and easy; the most challenging part is working out what needs fixing. Even if there isn't an apparent problem, some drivers book a car alarm system check every few years to ensure their car is still secure.
