Consumables for the maintenance of passenger cars have increased in price by an average of 30% in the past year. For some items, the price increase was 50%, – said Maria Posenitskaya, director of the AvtoSvita technical center. According to her, the increase in the cost of “veer” MOT is mainly due to the increase in the price of spare parts and components. The cost of works for the year has not changed. The price of a standard hour on the market, if it has grown, is within 10%, not more. Recall that in the spring of last year, on a wave of panic and excitement, prices for auto parts soared. Those exorbitant price tags have now been forgotten. And so “deep” that some car parts are already for sale again at prices that took place before the start of the well-known events last spring.
Previously, it was considered completely normal when the original spare part is noticeably more expensive than the “non-original”. In addition, the price difference was sometimes multiple. At the same time, there are already known cases when original car parts are cheaper than non-original ones. This happens, for example, due to the peculiarities of logistics and fluctuations in exchange rates, which can radically increase the selling price of a part.
Andrey Zhuravsky, a leading technical specialist at Alleya Group, a supplier of automotive chemicals, said that the price increase for imported motor oils is now about 20%. It is accompanied by both an increase in logistics costs and an increase in the energy costs required for the production of oils by foreign companies.
According to the expert, the cost of imported motor oils will continue to rise in the foreseeable future, as production cost growth sometimes reaches 40% for some manufacturers.
