Used spare parts will be allowed for repairs in OSAGO 01:15

It is planned to allow used auto parts in OSAGO repairs in Russia and increase the repair period from 30 days to 45 days. Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Nikolai Zhuravlev said in an interview that changes in this direction are being developed in the Federation Council. “Izvestia”.

The idea is to start with parts that have no safety impact but are often damaged in collisions, such as fenders, bumpers and hoods, according to Central Bank Vice-President Philippe Gabunia. He also noted that increasing the repair time to 45 days is often a requirement, as insurance companies do not have time to take delivery of components within the agreed time. But it is important to prevent abuse by both companies and customers.

Besides experts, market participants also expressed their support for such initiatives. However, experts also emphasize that the choice of using used parts should be left to the customer.

In the last year, there has been an increase in the undesirable practices of customers who went to court knowing that it was not possible to repair the car within 30 days and demanded additional compensation in addition to the damage. Philip Gabunia said that the number of such applications is increasing in some regions.

In general, it is important to note that the use of used auto parts does not impair road safety. It is planned to compile a list of components that do not affect safety and are often damaged in an accident. The Russian Association of Insurers (RSA) is preparing such a list.

According to PCA representatives, it will also be necessary to regulate the use of used components and determine which ones can be refurbished and reused and which cannot. These changes received a positive review in PCA.

The Ministry of Finance also supported the initiative to increase OSAGO repair times to 45 days.
