Since the beginning of March, the cost of spare parts for most foreign cars has risen sharply. Particularly strong rise in price affected body parts. The average increase was 88%. Because of this, many foreign car owners tend to service their cars today, which only pushes manufacturers and intermediaries to increase prices.


If we take the parts located in the so-called. in the insurance basket, i.e. those that suffer first in the event of an accident, in the “crossover” segment, the rear bumpers (96%) have risen in price most of all, the left front door is in second place (92,8%), the windshield is third ( 91,8%. According to the Russian Marketing Agency, the least increase in prices affected the front bumper (81,6%), the right door (84,2%) and rear optics (84,6%).





Not only body parts have become more expensive – the cost of other spare parts has also increased. And sometimes exorbitantly: for example, a gearbox for an Audi A3 produced in 2013-16 will cost 3,8 million rubles, which is comparable to the cost of a new one. car another brand! Here are the new prices for parts for some car models:

• ? calipers for VW Touareg (2016) – 160 thousand rubles.
  
• ? brake pads (to him) - 15 thousand rubles.
  
• ? electromagnetic clutch for Hyundai Santa Fe and Kia Sorento, equipped with a 2,4-liter engine - 100,5 thousand rubles.

• ? stability stabilizer for Range Rover 2014 - 156 thousand rubles.
  

Even once inexpensive ABS sensors for Chevrolet Tahoe are estimated at 29 thousand rubles. for a unit. And this is the increase in prices that the manufacturer sets. If we take aggregators selling spare parts, then the situation is even more deplorable. For example, windshields for crossovers rose in price by 150,3%, rear wing - 117,3%, grille - 97,6%. The front doors “suffered” least of all from the increase in cost: for the right, the increase averaged 59%, for the left - 53%.



Experts note that the price fever in the spare parts market will continue as long as there is an influx of customers in service centers who are in a hurry to "fix" their cars. Stabilization of the situation is expected with a new wave of supplies of components. Only the fall in prices is unlikely to occur, perhaps insignificant.
