Can you save money on car maintenance? Expert “Behind the wheel” Mikhail Kolodochkin is sure that in the current conditions, pushing for savings on literally everything, this is simply a necessary life hack to study.
And he gives an example from a recent personal experience: the next maintenance for the Volvo S90 at an authorized dealer cost more than 50 thousand rubles, although, in fact, the matter was limited to changing the oil and filters. The cost of the standard hour was 6500 rubles.
In unofficial services, these works cost, on average, twice as cheap. Let’s make a reservation, this is not about “Petroviches” from the garage, but about a service specializing in a particular brand with the appropriate equipment and staff qualifications. So after the warranty expires, it is quite possible to choose this option.

An additional 20–30% of the cost of maintenance can be saved if you take care to purchase consumables yourself, and if possible, instead of original components, you can choose high-quality analogues.
There is another way to save money: you can perform some operations yourself – of course, if you have space, desire and a minimal understanding of the subject.
