Have you met a Land Rover at a traffic light or in the field and dreamed of swapping with its owner? You wouldn't want the garage bill waiting for him at every service. Now the importer is starting to offer replacement parts for Marley magnets, to reduce costs

Car maintenance in Israel, as everyone knows, is a dubious pleasure. Those itches you feel all over your body every time your car goes into the garage and the cramping waiting for the parts bill, well, you know what we're talking about.
For more than a decade, the law requires the garages to offer their customers at least two spare parts, the original and the replacement, in every quote. A study conducted by the Competition Authority on the subject of spare parts prices and the introduction of non-original parts into the market, indicated that the introduction of cheap parts leads to an immediate drop of 9% on average from the price of the original part, and that after two years its price drops by 11%. He also pointed out that in general, the price of a replacement part is 12% cheaper on average. The importance of the prices of spare parts is even higher when you take into account that according to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the periodic treatments of the vehicles constitute 50% of the cost of maintaining the vehicle.

Now the Mizrah company, importer of Land Rover and Jaguar, announces that it has started to offer its customers spare parts from the Italian company "Magneti Marli" for the models it markets. The old Italian manufacturer (founded in 1919) develops and supplies original parts to many car manufacturers and is also active in the field of original compatible spare parts. Such as those now offered by importer Land Rover and Jaguar.
The prices, you won't be surprised to hear, are still very expensive compared to spare parts for popular cars. For example, the price of an original air filter that cost NIS 625 is also offered as a replacement at a price of NIS 416 (33% discount). In other parts the reduction is even more significant, a set of front brake pads for NIS 1,023 compared to NIS 1,952 (47.6% reduction) and brake discs for NIS 778 instead of NIS 1,801 for the original (56.8%).
By the way, these prices are still fine compared to how much you will be asked to pay for an air filter for a Jaguar E-Pace from 2014, which according to the importer's price list is NIS 729.72 or the price of an air filter for the Defender which is NIS 678.6 and NIS 750.28 for the Range Rover. In the case of a brake disc for the Range Rover Volar 2017, it is already an event of NIS 5,941.
