As part of the limited-period campaign, customers can avail a complimentary 30-point vehicle check-up along with a free dry wash.

The camp will be hosted across authorised Hyundai workshops nationwide, allowing customers easy access to trained technicians, genuine parts and diagnostic support without the usual hassle.
