Gongimnara is a space for automobile maintenance. It is different from existing automobile maintenance shops, and its biggest advantages are the reduction in repair costs due to its unique system and reliable labor costs. The following is a guide for using Gongimnara.

Reservation
Gongimnara operates a reservation system. This is the most basic system applied to all vehicles visiting. Both online and offline reservations are possible. To make an online reservation, go to the Gongimnara website, select the desired region/branch maintenance shop in the reservation corner, select an available reservation schedule, and then register.
An offline reservation is made by visiting the company in person and making a verbal reservation. The number of vehicles that can be accommodated varies depending on the type of work being done on the day and the circumstances of the workshop.
As a reference, most Gongimnara branches are closed on Sundays and public holidays. However, this may vary depending on the branch, so it is necessary to check the reservation corner on the website for accuracy.
Same-day reservations
Same-day reservations through the online website are not possible. However, this may vary depending on the company’s circumstances. Therefore, if you need urgent maintenance or do not have enough personal time, you should check the branch contact information on the website and contact them directly to confirm availability.
For reference, if you do not have enough time, you can also use the car dealer dump service. In other words, you can request maintenance for your vehicle and then apply for the delivery service. If you use this service, the company will handle everything from moving the vehicle for maintenance to delivering the vehicle after maintenance is complete. However, there is a separate additional cost.
Imported car maintenance
In the case of the existing Gongimnara, imported car maintenance was also possible, but it was operated relatively limitedly for some maintenance items. However, Gongimnara companies specializing in imported car maintenance have now been launched.
In other words, while Gongimnara had secured Gongimnara franchises focusing on domestic car maintenance companies, now imported car maintenance companies are also accepting Gongimnara franchisees and providing services.
Parts Preparation
In the case of light maintenance such as engine oil change, transmission oil change, and brake pad replacement, consumers can visit the Gongimnara branch they have reserved with products that are suitable for their vehicle or of the brand they want. However, you do not have to purchase these consumable parts directly and visit them to use the service.
In other words, some of the necessary parts are also sold at the repair shop. If you do not purchase them separately online, you need to check if the branch you are visiting has the parts you want or need in stock before visiting.
Card Payment
Gongimnara repair shops accept both cash and card payments. Although this may not be possible depending on the circumstances of each company, all companies basically accept cash and credit card payments.
Caution / Disadvantages
Even if you use the reservation service, depending on the maintenance situation and circumstances of the company, maintenance may not be performed immediately at the designated reservation time.
In terms of maintenance items, there are common maintenance items in the general framework, but there are slight differences in the items that can be maintained by each company. This is due to differences in the equipment and personnel that each company has. Therefore, if it is not a basic light maintenance, you should check whether maintenance is possible.
Gongimnara companies are divided into direct stores, franchise stores, and cooperative stores. Although they provide common services that are not the same, they are sometimes confusing to consumers.
Gongimnara’s service system of preparing parts and visiting branches has the disadvantage of reducing profits from parts sales from the company’s perspective, but it is positioned as a benefit of reducing service costs for customers. However, even for engine oil alone, there are many types and the specifications required for each vehicle are different.
In other words, purchasing parts may not be easy for someone who does not have this kind of maintenance knowledge. Fortunately, it can be confirmed with a little searching. For reference, the Gongimnara website has a vehicle specifications information page that provides information for checking the appropriate parts for each vehicle.
Labor / Labor Cost
Labor costs are simply labor costs incurred when using automobile maintenance services. The Automobile Maintenance Association presents standard labor costs based on the time and technical skills required for the work. However, not many people know this accurately.
In the case of Gongimnara, this standard labor cost is presented at the forefront. In other words, it is a service that has built a high level of recognition by linking it to customer trust, as it allows customers to predict the cost that may occur in advance when car maintenance is needed and visit the company.
