This just in. Five more members of
Congress declared their support of the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair
Act (HR 2057). Reps. Michael E. Capuano (D-MA), Christopher P. Carney (D-PA),
Gregory W. Meeks (D-NY), Michael K. Conaway (R-TX) and Brad Miller (D-NC) are
the most recent co-sponsors of Right to Repair, which has gained steady
support since its introduction. The bill now has 45 sponsors.
For those of you who aren't familiar, Right to Repair legislation has been gaining momentum on a Federal and state levels for some time now. If passed, the Right to Repair Act would give independent repair shops access to important repair information as soon as it's available to dealerships, and we know what that would mean!

I sure hope this passes and it will level the playing field between independents and dealerships.
If this bill ever passes…There will still be Auto Repair Rip-offs with dealers and independants. I never like to use the words HONEST and AUTO REPAIR in the same sentence !!!!!!
