In what districts of Russia are there more dealer and service centers?

According to the results of monitoring conducted by the analytical agency AUTOSTAT, at the end of 2018 in Russia there were more than 75 thousand sale and service centres of cars, including 3,545 official dealerships. Among them, only 479 centres (11.8%) with domestic brands, and the majority - 3,126 centres (88.2%) - are engaged in the sale and maintenance of foreign cars.

During the study, the experts noted that in all federal districts of Russia the number of car sales and service centers grew for the year. However, depending on the location of the district, their number and growth rate, as well as the ratio between points of sale and service points, are different.
So, most of these centers are concentrated in the Central Federal District - more than 1 thousand centres of sale (1,079) and over 19 thousand service centers (19 064). There are slightly fewer of them in the Volga region — 843 and 14,951, respectively, and in the North-Western Federal District — 428 and 8,079 points.

The smallest number of dealer and service centers are in the Far East - only 60 and 3 643 centers, respectively. However, the experts fixed the fastest growth of centres of car sale in this territory in 2018 (+ 17.6%). But service centers for the same period were opened most actively in the Southern Federal District (+ 19.3%).

A comparable number of car sales centres operate in the Ural and Siberian Federal Districts - 393 and 377, respectively. However, the service network is much better developed in Siberia: there are 35.6 service points per one car sales center, while in the Urals this figure does not exceed 21.2.
