The expert named ways to save money on preparing cars for the summer

Both high-quality diagnostics and the use of more affordable analog spare parts instead of expensive originals can help save money on preparing a car for the summer. Nikita Rodionov, technical director of the international franchise network of car service centers, told about this on May 18, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.

So, competent diagnostics allows you to cut off unnecessary operations and spare parts, as well as plan all expenses. As for spare parts, the use of analogues should be approached carefully: you should find a service that provides a guarantee for spare parts, is responsible for the origin and installation. At the same time, you should not try to save on key nodes, the specialist pointed out.

"If diagnostics show that shock absorbers, brake hoses or ball bearings need to be replaced, you should not postpone. These are the elements that directly affect handling and braking distance, especially in summer, at high speed," the expert noted.

It's all the same: the cost of repairing a German sports car was equated to the repair of a Lada

Why are the official recovery prices significantly different from the real ones?

Earlier, on May 14, a technical specialist said that it is reasonable to combine the preparation of a car for the summer with an oil and filter change, even if formally several thousand kilometers remain before the scheduled replacement. The expert also noted that by summer, many car owners really hear their suspension for the first time. After the winter and spring broken roads, knocks, creaks and vibrations begin to appear on every bump.
