🚨 A breaking message from our President and CEO, Bill Hanvey! Today, the REPAIR Act was reintroduced in Congress with strong bipartisan support from Reps. Neal Dunn (R-FL), Brendan Boyle (D-PA), Warren Davidson (R-OH), and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA), alongside 12 additional members. This critical legislation defends your right to repair your vehicle and ensures independent repair shops have the data and tools they need to keep America moving. 🛠️ Why it matters: ➡️ 60%+ of independent repair shops face challenges with routine repairs due to OEM barriers. ➡️ 70% of the nation’s 292 million vehicles are serviced by independent facilities. ➡️ Without this legislation, consumers face higher repair costs, longer wait times, and fewer choices. The REPAIR Act ensures: ✅ Consumer choice and fair competition. ✅ Secure, safe access to vehicle repair data. ✅ Affordable and timely vehicle maintenance for ALL. 94% of vehicle owners support the right to choose their repair shop. Congress needs to listen. Join us, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, The CAR Coalition, Commercial Vehicle Solutions Network - CVSN and countless supporters in standing up for your right to repair. Let’s keep competition fair and vehicles safe. 👉 Learn more and show your support: repairact.com #autocare #automotiveaftermarket #rightotrepair
