Along with Hyundai and Kia, other auto companies are planning to provide free safety checks. Major parts such as engines, brakes and tires will be checked, and expendable components will be changed for free.
Free checkup services will also be provided by foreign motor companies such as Peugeot, Citroën, Ford, Lincoln, Toyota and Lexus. Also, discounts will be provided to those who change parts.
As the holidays are also a time for sharing, Hyundai and Kia are planning to pay their suppliers before Chuseok, which is earlier than the promised date. Also, Onnuri gift certificates worth 100,000 won will be provided to all employees in an effort to revitalize the domestic economy.
As well, employees of Hyundai Motor Group will do volunteer work at welfare facilities and visit neighbors that are alienated for three weeks starting on September 7.
