People who want to buy a garage often only look at the price. But the real costs show over time. With the new ZAPF savings calculator, buyers can check this easily. They can calculate for free and see what is worth it in the long run. The tool is available at: sparrechner.zapf-garagen.de.
A precast concrete garage costs more at first than a wooden or metal garage. But many people forget the long-term costs. Over 20 to 30 years, more than just the purchase price matters. Maintenance, repairs, insurance, and protection for the car are important.
If you park your car outside all the time, it can wear out faster. Weather, sun, and changing temperatures can cause damage. According to ADAC, this can cost several thousand euros over time. There is also a risk of hail damage, vandalism, and higher maintenance costs.
The ZAPF savings calculator is easy to use. Users enter their data step by step. Then they get a clear overview. The tool looks at four options. A ZAPF concrete garage, a wooden garage, a metal garage, and no garage. It shows the total costs for each option over many years. It also shows how much you save or spend compared to a ZAPF garage.
When developing the savings calculator, ZAPF focused on reliable and transparent data. The data comes from sources like ADAC, GDV, and Verivox. This means users get clear facts and not just promises. So they can make a better decision.
The tool looks at several factors. It includes the lifespan of each garage type, as well as maintenance and repair costs. It also considers insurance benefits, because a fixed garage space can lower risks. In addition, it looks at how well the car is protected against weather, theft, and vandalism.
A precast concrete garage from ZAPF lasts over 40 years. And it needs almost no maintenance in that time. Wooden garages need regular painting and protection from moisture. And metal garages can rust and form condensation. So extra costs arise over the years. As a result, the lower purchase price is often lost. In addition, garage owners can save on insurance. Because many insurers offer discounts for a locked garage at night. And this benefit is also included in the savings calculator.
The ZAPF savings calculator is easy to use. And users do not need to register or enter personal data. So they can calculate their savings quickly and easily. The results are shown right away. And they can be used for a talk with a ZAPF expert. So users have a good basis for their decision. “We want to help people make a good decision,” says Kevin Kienle, Head of Marketing. “The savings calculator shows clearly and transparently that quality pays off over time. And many customers are surprised by how much they can save.”
The ZAPF savings calculator is now available free of charge at: sparrechner.zapf-garagen.de
