Protect Your Right to Repair
What's the issue?
As vehicles modernize, common repairs and routine maintenance increasingly require access to vehicle data, tools, and software that are currently controlled by vehicle manufacturers. These anticompetitive practices leave independent repairers unable to service certain vehicles and prevent aftermarket suppliers from managing demand and offering quality, safe, and affordable replacement parts to consumers.
If left unchecked, vehicle manufacturers’ repair restrictions stand to dramatically reduce available service options for American consumers, who overwhelmingly (70%) choose independent repair shops for post-warranty repairs.
Vehicle owners should have the right to choose who repairs their vehicle and with what parts – whether through independent aftermarket or vehicle manufacturer channels.
What is the solution?
As unfair repair restrictions grow, the consumer-first right to repair movement is gaining ground in Washington and across the country. A key right to repair measure – the bipartisan Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act (H.R. 906) – will enable consumers and repairers of their choice to access the vehicle data, tools, software, and parts needed for modern repairs.
Backed by a broad, bipartisan group of more than 50 cosponsors, the REPAIR Act will promote industry competition, increase consumer choice, and protect access to quality, safe, and affordable vehicle repairs.
