In 2023, Piedmont motorists spent 3 billion and 333 million euros to maintain and repair their cars. Compared to 2022, the amount spent in the region grew by 22.5%.
The greatest increase in Turin
The province of Turin is the one that recorded the greatest increase in spending in 2023 (+24.9%), followed by Cuneo (+20.1%), Asti (+19.9%), Vercelli and Novara (+ 19.8%) and Verbano Cusio Ossola (+19.6%). These data derive from a study by the Autopromotec Observatory, the research structure of Autopromotec, the most specialized international exhibition of automotive equipment and aftermarket.
Minor increases nationwide
At a national level in 2023, 42.5 billion euros were spent on the maintenance and repair of cars. Compared with 2022, when the outlay was 35.3 billion, the expenditure incurred by Italians for workshop interventions and repairs on their cars grew by 20.6%.
In 2023, spending on car maintenance and repairs in Italy grew significantly for the third consecutive year. The causes of this increase are to be found not only in the high levels of workshop activities, estimated to increase by 13% on an annual basis, but also in the growing inflation.
Growth after the Covid years
According to Istat, in fact, during 2023 prices for vehicle maintenance and repair activities grew by 4.9% on an annual basis. Having put the negative years of 2020 and 2021 behind us, in which spending on car maintenance and repairs fell well below 30 billion euros, the outlay estimated by the Autopromotec Observatory in 2023 has risen to maximum levels , levels that are unprecedented in recent years.
