The Federal Antimonopoly Service (FAS) has published an order according to which the cost of technical inspection will be doubled. Maintenance may become even more expensive if the operators convince the local authorities of such a necessity through proper calculations.
Tariffs set in 2012 are outdated and maintenance has long been unprofitable for operators: the profit does not cover the cost of equipment, hiring specialists, renting premises, etc.
Now the regional authorities will annually request the maintenance costs from the company data and determine the costs for the following year.
Minimum prices for technical inspection
But at the same time, the price could not be lower:
- 913 rubles – for passenger cars,
- 321 rubles – for motorcycles,
- 1560-1880 rubles – for buses,
- 900-1960 rubles – for trucks.
That’s about twice as much as today.
