New Law Aims to Keep the Marketplace Competitive
Summary
A new bill in Congress could benefit hundreds of small businesses and help consumers save money by providing more choices for vehicle servicing.Article
A new piece of legislation, the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act, is now being considered by Congress. This act seeks to give vehicle owners more options for servicing, potentially saving them money and supporting numerous small businesses.
Leaders from national aftermarket associations emphasize how crucial this act is for maintaining affordable and convenient vehicle maintenance across the United States.
"As independent auto repair shop owners, we worry about our business futures," said Pat Andersen, president of the Alliance of Automotive Service Providers. "Having access to necessary tools, software, and repair information is key for us to service modern vehicles. The Right to Repair Act will ensure equal access to these resources for all repair facilities and vehicle owners."
The Right to Repair Act would mandate that car manufacturers provide independent service providers with the same service information and tool capabilities currently available only to their franchised dealers. Importantly, trade secrets of car companies remain protected unless shared with dealers.
"Our members have been at the forefront, tackling daily challenges with repair information and programming," stated Paul Fiore, president of the Service Station Dealers of America. "They view the bill as essential for their long-term survival and are encouraged by the growing support."
Numerous associations back the Right to Repair legislation, including the Alliance of State Automotive Aftermarket Associations, Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association, and the Tire Industry Association. Additionally, the National Federation of Independent Business and consumer groups such as AAA also endorse the bill.
This legislation represents a pivotal opportunity to enhance consumer choice and secure the future of small auto repair businesses in a competitive marketplace.
