Right to Repair Act gains two more supporters

Dec. 19, 2007

Reps. Dennis Moore (D-Kan.) and Michael Honda (D-Calif.) have joined a growing list of supporters for the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (HR 2694).

“We want to thank Reps. Moore and Honda for their support of this vital piece of legislation and their commitment to ensuring that their constituents retain the ability to choose where to have their vehicle serviced and repaired,” says Kathleen Schmatz, president and CEO of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association.

“The fact is that there aren’t enough new car dealerships in all the right places to keep every motor vehicle serviced, repaired and operating safely. Right to Repair ensures that car owners can conveniently and affordably repair and maintain their vehicle’s critical safety systems at the repair shop of their choice, whether it’s their neighborhood repair shop or a franchised dealership.”
