It's Your Right to Repair

The Massachusetts Right to Repair Coalition is advocating for passage of Right to Repair legislation to guarantee repairers and consumers unrestricted access to independent automotive service, repairs and parts.  The legislation would prohibit the current practice of automobile manufacturers restricting access to repair information utilized by independent repairers.  The legislation would ensure complete access to diagnostic repair information to independent repairers and to the benefit of automobile consumers.  Without complete repair information independent repairers will increasingly be forced to send consumers to new car repair facilities.  Consumers should have a choice as to who does their car repairs.  The Massachusetts Right to Repair legislation would ensure your right of choice is protected.

Chairman Sen. Michael Morrissey (D-Quincy) stated his intent to first put the bill out into the Senate, where there is great support by leadership and members alike.
