Right to Car Repair: More Choice and Data Access for Owners.
This act aims to give car owners more control over their vehicle repairs. It means easier access to car data, repair information, and the ability to choose independent repair shops and aftermarket parts, potentially lowering costs and increasing competition in the repair market.
Key points
Car owners will gain full access to data generated by their vehicles, making it easier to diagnose issues.
Vehicle manufacturers will be prohibited from restricting access to critical repair information, tools, and parts for independent repair facilities.
The act prevents manufacturers from intentionally disabling aftermarket parts through software updates, unless required for safety reasons.
Owners will have the freedom to choose repair shops and parts, fostering competition and potentially reducing repair costs.
