Right to Car Repair: More Choice and Data Access for Owners.
This act aims to give car owners more freedom in choosing where and how to repair their vehicles. It obliges manufacturers to provide necessary data, tools, and repair information, which should increase competition and lower costs. Citizens will gain fuller control over their vehicles and the data they generate.
Key points
Car owners and independent repair shops will gain access to vehicle data, repair information, and tools, free from manufacturer restrictions.
Manufacturers will not be able to mandate the use of specific parts or tools for repairs outside of warranty and recall services.
An advisory committee will be established to monitor competition in the auto repair industry and protect consumer rights.
Owners will be notified when their vehicle data is accessed, increasing their control over privacy.
