The cost of maintenance of passenger cars in Russian auto services may increase by 15% by the end of the year. Tatyana Ovchinnikova, director of the Fit Service international network of automobile services, told socialbites.ca correspondent about this.
“We expect vehicle maintenance prices to increase in Russia. There are several prerequisites for such an estimate. First, before the end of the year for car services, standard hourly prices for car repair will likely increase. In addition, an increase in the salaries of employees is expected, which is necessary due to the general increase in prices in the country. Secondly, due to the weakening of the ruble, spare parts prices will also increase. Depending on these factors, the increase in vehicle maintenance prices may be 10-15 percent until the end of the year.
The average vehicle maintenance check in the first half of 2023 amounted to 7,340 rubles. It was 20% lower last year than the same period in 2022. At the same time, the amount of the check for the first month of summer decreased slightly: the expert emphasized that in June 2023 it was 7,372 rubles.
