This free inspection is organized by the Gangdong-gu branch of the Seoul Automobile Professional Maintenance Business Association, with 130 qualified maintenance technicians participating. Since 1989, the Gangdong-gu branch has been providing free vehicle inspection services in cooperation with Gangdong-gu and has been practicing sharing through various activities, including participating annually in warm winter support projects.
