But men are more later for additional equipment

There is a stereotype that men better watch their cars. As it is not so: a fresh study found that women spend more on maintenance of cars.

Analysts of "Avilon" studied 80 thousand purchase orders to service vehicles and purchase of spare parts from January 2015 to October 2018. All the cars were divided into three categories: mass, premium and luxury. The first atesli Volkswagen, Ford and Hyundai, the second — Mercedes-Benz, BMW, Mini, Audi, Cadillac, Jaguar, Land Rover, Volvo, Chevrolet and Jeep, the third — Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Aston Martin and Ferrari.

Statistics showed that of the owner of the massive machines spending on services is 12% more than the owners. However, this difference arose mainly due to cosmetic care. At the same time, men left on 25,5 % more money for additional equipment. The same division based on gender will continue in the segment of premium cars.

But luxury spending is significantly different: men spend on services and the purchase of additional equipment more than 8% and 36%, respectively.

Women often bought washing the engine compartment, the protective coating of polyurethane film, restoring, refinishing rims, ceramic coating and body polishing, repair and painting the trim of the seats. Men spend money on floor mats, mud guards, alarm, protection, engine compartment and protective grid radiator.
