Russian consumers pay great attention to the cost of servicing the car. We cannot but admit that with the development of the new car market, it is planned maintenance that will determine the cost of ownership of the car in a year. These numbers are made out of the cost of spare parts, planned TO and non-frequent (in the case of a new car) repairs
The arrival of a car is worth taking into account the position of the currency of the producing country on the exchange market. For example, the dollar and the euro are significantly more susceptible to fluctuations than the Japanese yen
Today, motorists are inclined to trust the maintenance and repair of their cars to authorized centers. They are attracted to the opportunity to obtain a guarantee for both the spare parts and the work performed. For these reasons, they tend to put up with prices that seem to be high compared to the maintenance in a conventional facility "near the house". So how much is the maintenance of a vehicle in the technical center of an official dealer?
Who is in charge of calculating maintenance costs?
Since the issue of the cost of service is always relevant, various marketing agencies are conducting research in this area. The survey is generally chosen by the most selling inomarcades: Chevrolet, Citroen, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Mazda FIAT, Ford, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Opel, Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Subaru, Suzuki, Toyota. To receive data, requests are sent to the service of the authorized dealers of the listed vehicles in Moscow. The data received reflects the value of the service works carried out according to the regulations of the car manufacturer with mileage of up to 140,150 thousand cars. km
Example of maintenance costs in an official technical center
Average service cost for Japanese and Korean cars:
- Diagnostics of electrical equipment between 400 and 1,300 rubles have been reported. The complex diagnostic is 2240-3,400 rubles.
- Substitution of motor oil from 400 to 700 rubles
- The suspension of the suspension will be between 400 and 700 rubles. (The specific cost of the service depends on the complexity of the site replacement).
- Repair of the transmission from 3900 (clutch) to 11,800 rubles. The total cost of repairs, which is to be repaired at the level of RUB 70 ,000, 000 (USD).
- 200 roubles for the engine. (removal and installation of crankcase protection, which also has been taken to repair the engine) up to approximately 100-150 thousand. (...) (...)
- Repair of braking system between 1,200 and 1,400 roubles.
- The injector is a total of 1,700 rubles.
The cost of car service within a single class can vary three times
The expected list of work includes those not listed in the scheduled maintenance activity: filter replacement, candle replacement, diagnostics, and others.
How much is a kilometre of the road?
The cost of the operation is the base amount that will have to be spent on permanent exploitation, provided that nothing happens between the incident. Otherwise, the cost of ownership of the car will have to be added to the above figures. The data show that the content of the car is very expensive, especially outside Moscow (taking into account the amount of the average wage). The experts estimated that, by servicing the average car of a foreign production, the owner of each kilometre gave about one ruble to the dealer, if the value of all the TVE was distributed over the entire period of the vehicle operation.
What cars are more expensive and cheaper than others?
It turns out that the most expensive is the machines of the best-selling segment up to 20-22 thousand. dollars. This is logical: dealers, selling an inexpensive car, believe that they can get additional income for maintenance.
Domestic cars are a fair example of high cost of ownership. The fact that serious repairs of the domestic car starts to be required after 100,000 kilometers
Two top lines in the cost of maintenance work, oddly enough, Honda and Mitsubishi, and close the Chevrolet, Hyundai and Citroen list. The third place in the list belongs to Mazda's cars. The fourth is Volkswagen from 13% above the average service cost. The P6 are the most expensive to service Toyota and Subaru cars. In the middle of the list are European brands: Peugeot, Renault, Skoda, Ford. Opel maintenance will cost slightly more than the average level.
The average level of prices for French and other European cars is somewhat inconsistent with the prevailing view of the high cost of owning "European". The Japanese brand Nissan, whose details are on average cheaper by 9% than other Japanese manufacturers, suddenly came in. The cost of parts to Chevrolet is 25% below average. Car service cost dependency
Car service cost dependency
The cost of maintenance depends on the reliability of a car. The European car is likely to be in 20,000. The kms of mileage will have to be repaired, and the Japanese car will be in the same parts for the same parts. km It turns out that despite the high cost of spare parts for Japanese cars, servicing its chassis will cost less. If you take it for granted that Japanese cars require less frequent repairs than the European cars, the high cost of spare parts is compensated by rare recourse to the service, so spending on the maintenance of Japanese and European cars is almost equequable.
Other factors affecting maintenance costs
Many of the cost of maintenance depends on the cost per hour of the various STs, which ultimately affect the final cost. For example, when servicing the Lexus, the cost per hour is between 1,000 and 1,500 rubles.
Superkarov Maintenance
Such cars as Ferrari, Maserati, Lamborghini require the highest class of service, and its cost does not always seem plausible to the simple routine. The cost and status of the supercar themselves can be partially offset by the fact that the unprofessional replacement of the Ferrari, for example, may end with the most difficult repair of the powertrain. The cost of services, for those who own such cars as Ferrari, Lamborghini or Maserati, has never been a matter of principle. For example, the owner has to spend 350,000 tonnes to replace chaining in the Maserati. The price of a set of clutch and replacement is at the official Moscow service. In doing so, it should be borne in mind that, at marginal loads, the clutch is a kind of expense that requires replacement in 15 to 30 thousand dollars. km
At the average cost of owning a premium car about 110,000 per year, it is necessary to take into account the cost of fuel, which averages between 60 and 90,000 rubles a year
As a result, it is necessary either to perform complex calculations with a huge amount of data or to be guided by personal experience or data gathered by professionals in order to understand the cost of servicing a car. If there is no opportunity and time to scrutinize the prices of services for all types of interest, it remains to be trusted that the data available will be available, and at least reviewed the tables of maintenance, frequency and cost of the operation.The stupidest thing that the future owner can do is to believe myths and opinions.
