Against the backdrop of a shortage and a price hike of anything and everything, military is raising prices to such an extent that it goes bad. For example, if you change the brake pads and discs in a circle for the Toyota Camry, which is so popular with us in the latest bodywork, it will yield 150,000 rubles, including spare parts. And this is not the limit. However, there are always options.

We came for maintenance or replacement of “consumables”, and do they roll out a space price list for you? You should not convulse and run without five minutes to borrow money from a mobilized neighbor. Yes, military ‘nightmare’ customers now in such a way that people are willing to overpay, and sometimes. In fact, ingenious craftsmen just stir up frightening car owners with the fact that there are almost no spare parts left in warehouses, so it is better to have time today to buy, but at a high price, until tomorrow it will be even more expensive . After all, no one has lifted the sanctions and the stock freeze!

Of course, someone who needs a car for daily use, panics and digs up a stash in the garden, or even takes out a loan to ‘be on time’. So, the owners of the Range Rover and Jaguar put down 30 thousand for the front levers, which in reality cost five apiece, and the owners of the Mercedes-Benz E-class change the infamous timing chain and lay out 300,000 “wooden” – several times more than on real.

But if car owners in the premium segment are partly ready for unjustified spending, owners of more “everyday” cars want to go the other way. No, it’s not about public transport. And the truth is, are dealers and club services hoping that car owners won’t find alternatives? They will find it, and how!

For example, for the same Toyota Camry, it is quite possible to find both brake pads and brake discs, for which you have to pay reasonable money, including replacement. By simple mathematical calculations, after studying the offers on the Internet, it turns out that you can buy and install new parts in a car at least three times cheaper! Another thing is that in some cases some spare part has to wait for it to be delivered. But not to pay 150,000 hard earned. The full segment of car components through the parallel import window is not yet mastered. Although the stocks are even more than . Yes, not original, but quite worthy analogues. Even if they ‘die’ for the ‘company’, the purchase and replacement will still be cheaper than the prices charged by service entrepreneurs.

And here are some more “sick” examples. One ignition coil for the beloved Russian Volkswagen Tiguan will cost almost 10,000 rubles if it is an original product. But for only 2000 you can buy an analog, from which the Internet is like dirt. “Fifty kopecks” for a suspension on a battered Kia Rio? Yes, you are crazy! Let whoever devised such prizes choke on his calculator. In general, we are not in a hurry, we open the browser, master the “search engine” and call the indicated numbers. Trust me, the savings will be huge.

Obviously, in the era of the dying auto market, tech centers and dealers have refocused on the “secondary” and its maintenance, which is basically what brings them the main income. But you have to admit: the car is supposed to help you make money, and you don’t have to work for it, right? Therefore, you should still pay attention to the search for details and at the same time to normal craftsmen. Unless, of course, you’re in an intimate relationship with a millionaire’s wife or husband…
