Dmitry Danshov, Member of the Board of the Association of Car Services of the Russian Federation, told Izvestia that residents of the Russian megacity risk facing a shortage of service stations for car maintenance and repair, car washes and tire shops. He associated this with the reorganization of industrial zones in large cities, which was actively carried out in the country’s major cities.
“Now in their place, new residential complexes, shopping and business centers are actively emerging. At the same time, in the overwhelming majority of cases, projects for the reconstruction of such areas on the site where technical centers can be located are not provided, ”said Danshov.
According to him, the dismantling of former industrial areas in megacities and the consequent removal of auto services beyond the boundaries of these cities greatly reduces the possibilities for car repair.
In an interview with the publication, Alexander Pakhomov, Chairman of the Board of the Association of Auto Services, noted that in most cases, owners of small workshops, car washes and tire shops do not own the premises they occupy, but rent them. . When the industrial zones are demolished, they either have to close their businesses or they are looking for a new place,” he said.
According to experts, it is possible to solve the problem of the lack of technical centers, car washes and tire shops, if at the planning stage of new residential complexes the creation of special zones in which such enterprises can operate is provided. is located. Such zones may be the first floors of multi-storey car parks, as specified in the Auto Services Association.
Prior to that, Irina Kulieva, HR Director of the Fit Service vehicle services network said In an interview with socialbites.ca, he said that in Russia there is a shortage of technical specialists in the field of automotive repair, in particular, service stations are in serious need of auto mechanics and specialists in electronic systems diagnostics.
