At the moment, and for more than a year, it is not necessarily good to have a car. Of course, this allows you to move freely and enjoy true independence. But at what cost? Because having a vehicle also means having to spend large sums of money on many things. Of course, fuel, the price of which has really risen sharply in recent months, but not only that. You also have to pay for insurance and maintenance. Not to mention the repair in case of an accident or breakdown, which are also becoming increasingly expensive. But not all manufacturers are in the same boat.

In use, the car is obviously cheaper, but in the long run, taking into account the cost of purchase and maintenance 🤔?

Some inequalities

Indeed, some show very high prices, while others are much more affordable, sometimes in a very unexpected way. But then, which brands are the most expensive to repair in the event of a failure? This is a question that SRA (Automotive Safety and Repair), which made the main rating for the entire year 20222. For this, the organization relied on at least a hundred expert reports of manufacturers. And without much surprise, it is Porsche that arrives on the highest step with an index of 217. The company is followed by Land Rover with 137, not Mercedes and Tesla.

A few surprises

What may seem rather strange, French brands are also quite expensive to repair. This is especially true for Renault, Peugeot and Citroën. The DS isn’t staying either, but is the least expensive of all. Japanese manufacturers, on the other hand, are quite cheap, except for Lexus, which is positioned as a premium manufacturer. No wonder Dacias are the cheapest due to low parts and labor costs. How to attract even more customers?
