OREANDA-NEWS Experts predicted an impending crisis in the automotive industry and the service sector. Many European companies have already stopped deliveries to Russia due to sanctions that close borders and interfere with logistics. The remnants of parts and components are still in warehouses, but they will run out in a couple of weeks. In addition, even they are already starting to raise prices because of the ruble exchange rate.

According to experts, the prices of parts in warehouses have already doubled. Sellers are guided by the jumping ruble exchange rate or increase the cost of parts ahead of time. This is also noticeable on the example of the clutch for gearboxes.

"At the beginning of last week, the clutch price for the DSG box was 37,000-39,000 rubles. Now — from 57,000 rubles. Customers sign up, but after finding out the price, some are forced to abandon repairs or go for a loan," shared Evgeny Gulchin, General director of the King-Auto car service.

Car repair specialists advise Russians to worry about their car in advance and not wait for imported spare parts to run out in Russia. They offer to promptly repair the machines and stock up on consumables.

Also, do not reject parts from China that are produced by unofficial dealers in the future. There is a large selection of certified products on the market, you just need to follow the reviews or ask the masters in car services.
