As Izvestia reports, prices for car maintenance in auto repair shops are inexorably driven up by the shortage of spare parts, the lack of qualified personnel in the sector and, in principle, the demand for repair shops – after all, the Russian car fleet is aging, Only few can afford it to buy new cars under warranty, so all that remains is to repair old cars. Most Russians have no other options. As a result, according to the Union of Car Service Centers of the Russian Federation, most independent stations have increased prices by 10-20% over the past year. The Fit Service network added that the average bill for 11 months increased by 23% compared to the same period last year and amounted to 7,800 rubles.

Petr Shkumatov, member of the Public Council under the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for Moscow, estimated the increase in prices for car repair services at 25%. “The demand for car repair services has increased as there are more old cars and they require maintenance more often,” he explains. In addition, prices were affected by the increase in the price of equipment and tools for maintenance and repair, Fit Service emphasizes. The largest price increase for spare parts was recorded in the group “on order” – these are transmission units, steering racks, engines, body parts and optics.
