He stressed that these establishments comply with all the regulations, and also offer guarantees for the work carried out, pay taxes and generate formal jobs.
He also explained that a vehicle can give a performance of between 300,000 and 500,000 kilometers, depending on the maintenance that is carried out. However, he points out that in Venezuela there is a proliferation of poor-quality spare parts, of dubious origin and without any type of certificate.

«In Caracas, there are mechanics on the corners changing oil and there is no authority to act. Where does that oil they change go? To the sewers… And where is the protection of the environment? Surely the police have to take action. It cannot be that a car is repaired in the street,” Fileri said.
He added that the quality of gasoline in Venezuela “is not really the problem, but the poor quality of spare parts, such as pumps. Informality is the problem », he said.
