Right to Repair gains more sponsors

May 15, 2009

The Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (H.R. 2057) gained two more co-sponsors this week, Reps. Howard Berman (D-CA) and Yvette Clarke (D-NY).

"Following last week's gain of five co-sponsors, we are very pleased and encouraged to have Reps. Berman and Clarke declare their support of the Right to Repair Act," says Kathleen Schmatz, president and CEO of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association.

"The growing momentum of support for this important legislation demonstrates the commitment by many members of Congress to ensure that -- despite the shrinking number of dealerships around the country --  their constituents can continue to obtain affordable and convenient repairs for their vehicles."
