This was also confirmed by the company "Motorinvest" - the official importer of Voyah cars. All warranty obligations will be fully observed, dealer support can be extended to any Voyah electric car, but "without the official manufacturer's warranty, including software updates."
briefly and clearly made it clear denmark whatsapp number database that any warranties apply only to cars purchased from an official dealer.
After the ban on parallel import of brands officially presented in Russia, it is still possible to buy from an official dealer, said automobile expert, retired traffic police major Viktor Kondrashin.
"Of course, dealers still have cars that they imported before the ban to fill their range," he told Izvestia. "These cars are gathering dust in warehouses, and in order to get rid of them, they give discounts. For example, the same Geely Monjaro will be 400-500 thousand rubles cheaper through parallel import than the official one.
But there will also be more problems with the car, the expert noted, because for comfortable operation it will be necessary to Russify the media system and turn on additional functions, such as heated seats, which will cost the owner a pretty penny.
Where and how to service such a car
Not only dealers, but also service stations have difficulties with servicing cars imported by parallel import, said Alexey Ruzanov, technical director of the Fit Service network of car service stations (more than 300 service stations).
— The main inconvenience for owners of "parallel" cars is in the software of the car itself, or more precisely, in the lack of Russification, — he noted in a conversation with Izvestia. — That is, all these large and beautiful monitors in unofficial cars give out information in Chinese. Even English is not present in the menu everywhere.
In addition, owners of such cars may encounter difficulties in servicing those units that require connection to the automaker’s official programs and communication with technical support, noted Alexey Ruzanov.
If a car brought in by parallel import breaks down, the owner has two options for repairs - a service station or a dealership, but for money, says Viktor Kondrashin.
— If the car is new, it would be better to go to an official dealer. They sometimes have universal diagnostic equipment. In addition, they probably have the necessary parts in stock, — the expert noted. — If the car owner has been servicing it at one service center for many years, trusts the mechanics, then you can go to them.
He also stressed that the dealership service will be more expensive, as they will install original parts. The service station can offer inexpensive analogues.
Irina Frank confirmed that many service stations have universal diagnostic equipment that can perform maintenance on a parallel imported vehicle.
In any case, you should only buy a car from a dealer that has been officially imported into Russia, warned Viktor Kondrashin.
“It’s better not to save on a car, because in any case it will require investments in addition to the purchase itself,” he noted. “With a guarantee, repairs and maintenance will be much cheaper and more reliable.”
Experts interviewed by Izvestia agreed that in the future, the conditions for servicing cars imported by parallel imports may become more stringent, as China seeks to protect its assets and gain a foothold in the domestic market.
