The expert told about the most popular categories of aftermarket auto service

Anastasia Lomachenko, marketing director of Avtorus dealership holding company, told on February 20 about the most popular categories of after-sales service for cars in 2024.

According to her, Russian car owners most often requested such services as replacement of spark plugs, filters and windshield wiper blades. In addition, she noted the demand for work on complete oil changes, light bulbs and LEDs.

"In 2024, the dynamics of replacement of departed auto parts brands has accelerated, especially in the categories of brake disks and pads," the expert told Gazeta.Ru.

Lomachenko also specified that when choosing spare parts, consumers have started to evaluate their characteristics and read reviews more often on their own. She explained this by the fact that in Russia the difference in price between spare parts of own brands and well-known brands can reach 300%.
