Dealers said in an interview that the situation with the availability of auto parts for foreign cars in Russia has improved, but the shortage of components still remains, especially complex components. RIA News.
“The situation with spare parts in Russia has improved, but there are still problems with the delivery of complex components, which can take from 60 days to six months,” said Vladimir Zhelobov, director of used car sales of Avtodom Group of Companies.
He also stressed that the cost of unique pieces depends on exchange rates and has doubled since the beginning of 2022. The senior executive added that there are no prerequisites for reducing the cost of components in Russia, given the increase in the rates of the main world currencies against the ruble.
“There is still a small shortage of spare parts in the market, but there is no problem that cannot be solved at the moment. The main range of service and repair parts is still available from dealers. Delivery times are within reasonable limits, on average a few days, even if some positions are not enough, said Andrey Kamensky, Marketing Director of Avilon AG.
Since the beginning of 2022, many foreign automakers (with the exception of the Chinese) have stopped the export of cars and spare parts to Russia, but many of them are included in the list of parallel imports. Thus, the dealers provided supply through third countries.
