Can you save money on car maintenance? Driving expert Mikhail Kolodochkin I’m sure in the current circumstances, which push for savings on literally everything, this is just a necessary life hack to learn.
And he gives an example from recent personal experience: the next service of the Volvo S90 at an authorized dealer cost more than 50 thousand rubles, although in fact the matter was limited to changing the oil and filters. The cost of the standard hour was 6500 rubles.
With unofficial services, these works cost twice as cheap on average. Let’s make a reservation, this is not about “Petroviches” from the garage, but about a service specializing in a particular brand with the appropriate equipment and qualifications of the staff. So after the warranty has expired, it is quite possible to opt for this option.
An additional 20-30% of maintenance costs can be saved if you take care of purchasing consumables yourself, and if possible, instead of original components, you can choose high-quality analogues.
There is another way to save money: you can perform some operations yourself – of course, if you have space, desire and minimal knowledge of the subject.
But we also sorted out what it is absolutely not worth saving on.
