At the same time, the dynamics of price increases will greatly depend on logistics. Tatyana Ovchinnikova, director of the international franchising network of car service centers Fit Service, spoke about this in an interview with Motor magazine.
“The heaviest and largest items that will rise in price the most are those that take up a lot of space in transport and warehouses: large body parts, exhaust systems, and some suspension parts. For them, the increase in logistics costs is reflected in the price as quickly as possible,” Ovchinnikova said.
According to her, an additional factor in the rise in price is the expansion of labeling requirements and the burden of the “Honest Sign” system on certain categories, including oils and a number of technical fluids. This complicates accounting, document flow and increases overhead costs.
Ovchinnikova noted that on average the market can expect an increase in the cost of auto parts by approximately 10-15% in the mass segment and up to 20-25% for certain categories and brands, primarily for premium components and complex electronics. For more affordable analogues and consumables, the increase may be closer to the lower limit of the forecast. In addition, some customers will be able to keep their checks by moving to the neighboring and cheaper segments of spare parts, where the choice of suppliers and brands today is quite wide.
It was previously reported that in 2026, car repair prices will rise in three stages.
