Hyundai’s Global Dealership Space Identity (GDSI) is a global initiative aimed at creating a consistent and customer-focused experience across all Hyundai dealerships. The updated GDSI 2.0 version builds on this vision by emphasizing modern design, digital integration, and comfort for both sales and service environments.

To help dealerships maintain these high standards, AutoSmart Audit can be used as a dealer audit management tool to monitor, assess, and manage service quality effectively.
