Hi all,

Recently became a driver in Korea, and looking for a few things to pimp my ride (or make it minimally acceptable). Stuff like shop towels, armor-all, tire cleaner, a mount for my GPS, other interior accessories, touch-up kit, etc.

Does anyone know a place that sells all of this stuff? I guess what I want is the home-depot automotive aisle, but hardware stores here generally suck ass, and only sell plastic brooms and random bolts.

Oh yeah, I'm in Gangnam.

Any recommendations?

Try E-Mart or other big department store.

This is correct. I have seen only 1 Auto Zone type store and that was in CheongJu over by the main junction near the Museum and Home Plus. It is on the road that heads out of town towards ChungJu

You can use the site aggregator danawa.com to find just about anything. I use it to help me find motorcycle parts, oil and tools. It will search through a collection of on line sellers in Korea and find the cheapest prices.

Ok, thanks for the suggestions. I just can't believe that such an auto-obsessed country wouldn't have specialty stores for that stuff.

T-Station should have most if not all the things you're looking for. They're everywhere in Gangnam and Seoul. They also handwash your car and detail it for reasonable prices.
