AA Spare Parts Pricing Guide is out
This year's guide, wholly researched and published for the first time by the Automobile Association (AA), covers pricing for service, maintenance, and body repair parts.
The inaugural AA Spare Parts Pricing Guide (formerly the Kinsey Report) has been released, featuring parts pricing across 10 vehicle categories.
This year’s guide, wholly researched and published for the first time by the Automobile Association (AA), covers pricing for service, maintenance, and body repair parts.
According to the AA statement: ‘After careful consideration of the parts needed across these three sub-categories, we identified a number of common parts which consumers may need to consider over the lifetime of their vehicles.
‘Based on this, we collected pricing from dealerships in Gauteng to ensure fairness in the comparisons across categories of vehicles we selected.
‘In terms of the vehicles themselves, we looked at popular and where possible, similarly priced models in each category.’
In total, 63 vehicles were included.
As a yardstick, the lowest potential cost of ownership of the vehicles surveyed in each category was listed.
This was based on the cumulative rand values of the parts. The retail price of some vehicles may already include a limited number of services and a selection of service and/or maintenance parts.
