Some motorists who bought Chinese cars in Russia will soon face a shortage of parts; service stations will have to use their own machines to solve this problem. This is stated in a study of the Fit Service car service network (available from socialbites.ca).
“According to our expectations, the number of Chinese brands in the Russian automobile market will increase even more in 2024. Some will enter our market without opening their own dealership. Therefore, vehicle owners will be left alone with their cars without the support of official representations,” notes Alexander Gruzdev, head of Gruzdev-Analyze.
According to the expert, in order to be able to select spare parts for such machines, independent services will need to install lathes, welding machines and include a lathe and a welding machine in the staff desk.
As Tatyana Ovchinnikova, director of Fit Service’s international network of car service centers, says, today there is a difficult situation with access to operating instructions and spare parts catalogs for newer and rarer Chinese cars on the market. Often, car service centers have to choose a spare part “by sample” in specialized stores. Therefore, a large amount of information regarding Chinese brands needs to be collected, processed, translated and accumulated.

AvtoVAZ Lada Aura model can be used in taxi services if it has airbags, a reliable engine and a comfortable interior. This was stated by Anton Shaparin, deputy chairman of the National Automobile Association, in a conversation with socialbites.ca. However, according to him, AvtoVAZ cannot currently meet all these requirements.
“Lada cars, including the Aura model, should only operate in taxiing if they have two airbags for the driver and passenger as standard. There is no point in talking about this topic before this. “AvtoVAZ is trying to transfer its products to everyone, let it be transferred to the state that is ready to buy it,” the auto expert said.
According to Shaparin, taxis require cars with a certain engine reliability, which AvtoVAZ also cannot boast of. Taxi drivers are used to Korean and Japanese cars because they are understandable and predictable, but we do not have such equipment.
“The only thing that AvtoVAZ engines have achieved since the 90s is increased oil consumption as an unpleasant “option”. This leads to repairs and vehicle downtime instead of being online. Hence the loss of earnings,” the expert noted.
Don’t forget about comfort. Taxis around the world use large sedans that are suitable for transporting people and cargo. The expert emphasized that if AvtoVAZ masters the production of such equipment, we can talk about the priority of its purchase for taxi fleets.
Before that, it was known that AvtoVAZ planned to produce the Lada Aura sedan as a taxi version. However, the hardware of such machines is still unknown.
