She noted that there are several factors contributing to this growth. First, prices for standard hours of work in car services are expected to increase by the end of the year. In addition, an increase in wages for employees is expected due to the general rise in prices in the country. Secondly, a noticeable increase in prices for spare parts is expected due to the weakening of the ruble. In light of these circumstances, it is expected that car maintenance prices may increase by 10-15% by the end of the year, Tatyana Ovchinnikova explained.
According to the expert, the average check for car maintenance in the first half of 2023 amounted to 7340 rubles. This is 20% lower than in the same period in 2022. In June 2023, the amount of the check decreased slightly and amounted to 7372 rubles, she noted.
