The average vehicle maintenance and repair bill for the 11 months of 2023 increased by almost a quarter compared to the same period last year. Tatyana Ovchinnikova, director of the international network of car service centers Fit Service, told the socialbites.ca correspondent about this.
“In the period January – November 2023, vehicle maintenance cost the owner an average of 7.7 thousand rubles. “The average check increased by 23% during the year,” he said.
According to the interlocutor, one of the main reasons for the increase in the average check is the personnel problem in the sector. Employers in the automotive industry aim to retain and attract staff and increase the prestige of the profession.
The cost of standard hours at stations is increasing to increase employee salaries. The growth of the average bill was affected, to a lesser extent, by prices for auto parts. This year, in 2022, they did not grow as fast as last year. This category of goods has been greatly affected by currency revaluation and inflation.
