If you are a driver, you must have had a car inspection at least once.
As it is a compulsory inspection, it is unavoidable, but the car inspection fee is also expensive.
Today, we summarized how to make a reservation for a car inspection and how to save fees. I hope this helps those who are about to get a car inspection.
What is a car inspection?
This is a compulsory inspection for anyone who has purchased a car after a certain period of time has elapsed.
After you buy a new car, you will receive a regular inspection 4 years later, and then you will receive a comprehensive inspection every 2 years thereafter. The contents of the inspection are to examine the interior and exterior of the vehicle, and inspect the brake lights, headlights, etc., and whether the brakes are operating normally.

How to reserve a car inspection
In the past, you had to visit during the car inspection period, but in 2020, it has changed to a full reservation system.
I also have a heartbreaking memory of going without knowing this, so I always make a reservation for a car inspection and visit.
1. Access the Korea Transportation Safety Authority cyber window.

After accessing https://www.cyberts.kr/, click the car icon.
2. Enter your vehicle number and date of birth
3. Select inspection station and reservation date
Reservations can also be made on Saturdays, but it is not easy to choose the desired date as it closes early.
At the ‘private car inspection station’ mentioned at the bottom of this article, Saturday inspections are also possible without a reservation.
4. Comprehensive inspection/regular inspection fee payment
Internet reservations receive a discount of 1200 won.
5. Complete car inspection reservation
How to save on car inspection fees?
The vehicle inspection fee is 54,000 won for the comprehensive inspection (based on passenger vehicles).
Although there is a way to make an online reservation at the Korea Transportation Safety Authority and receive a discount of 1,200 won, there are many places that offer additional discounts depending on the private inspection station. Inspection cost is voluntary, but discounts are provided to attract customers.
List of private vehicle inspection stations (Seoul, Gyeonggi, Incheon)
Automobile inspections can also be conducted at private inspection stations designated by the Korea Transportation Safety Authority, and various benefits are provided. Usually, the fee is the same as that of the Korea Transportation Safety Authority, but depending on the private vehicle inspection station, an additional discount is provided, and in addition, a service that repairs simple defects is provided, so you can complete the inspection quite conveniently.
It is especially good for office workers.
Office workers only have time on Saturdays.
In the industrial complex, it is difficult to make a reservation on the desired date because Saturday reservations are delayed, but the private car inspection station does not need to make a reservation, and even if you visit without a reservation, the inspection can be done much faster because there are fewer vehicles compared to the inspection station.
I hope it will be helpful to those who make a reservation for a car inspection.
