Why Consumers Should Care

Right to Repair would:
  • Guarantee the right to choose where you service your car.
  • Save consumers an average of $300-$500 by giving independent repair shops the ability to address all repairs, from the simplest to the most complex.
  • Increase safety by requiring that all safety bulletins and recall information are available to all consumers and repairers, not just dealer franchises.

Why Repairers Should Care

Right to Repair would:
  • Allow independent repairers to compete on a level playing field with dealerships.
  • Grant access to each manufacturer’s website or “cloud” containing all diagnostic and repair information using a single interface tool.
  • Protect 32,000 jobs in the Massachusetts’ independent repair industry.

\\\ It’s sad that big car manufacturers have resorted to scare tactics in order to fight your right to repair your car where you want. The Right to Repair bill would simply allow me to buy all auto repair and diagnostic information so I can compete for your business on a level playing field. Period. It’s more than right to repair; it’s the right to support my family. This is about protecting small businesses and jobs – I drive around my town and businesses you never thought would go under are gone, closed up. Who’s to say the guy who fixes my car isn’t next if he has to turn away long-time customers like me? Most people have their own mechanics. If those mechanics are capable enough to deal with the new electronics, they should be able to access whatever codes and information they need.





















\"We invest heavily in tools and training, but there are holes in the information. The idea of ALL the repair and diagnostic information being out there is a fallacy.\"
