The National Independent Automobile Dealers Association (NIADA) applauds Congressman Neal Dunn (R-FL-2), for reintroducing the REPAIR Act.
The legislation would ensure consumers have access to data relating to their motor vehicles, critical repair information, tools, and provide them choices for the maintenance, service and repair of their motor vehicles.
This legislation was introduced with bipartisan support with Congressmen Brendan Boyle (D-PA-2), Warren Davidson (R-OH-8) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA-3), as original cosponsors.
“With 70 percent of auto repairs made at independent auto shops, not having access to critical data needed to make repairs puts independent auto dealers at a competitive disadvantage,” said Melanie Wilson, Interim CEO of NIADA. “The REPAIR Act is critical to ensuring that there is an even playing field between large dealerships and independent dealerships and consumers can chose where they can have their car, truck or SUV repaired. NIADA looks forward to working with Congress to moving this legislation forward.”
