Right to Repair Act gains more Congressional support

The Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (H.R. 2694) has gained three more supporters, says Kathleen Schmatz, president and CEO of the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA). The proposed legislation currently has 27 co-sponsors, three of whom voiced their support for the bill as Congress resumed sessions.

"We want to thank the three new co-sponsors for supporting this vital piece of legislation that benefits every car owner and small independent repair shop," said Schmatz. "The growing support of the Right to Repair Act shows that Congress is taking this piece of legislation very seriously and wants their constituents to have the right to choose where to have their vehicles serviced and repaired."

The three new legislators supporting the Right to Repair Act are Reps. Chaka Fattah (D-PA), Todd Platts (R-PA) and James Sensenbrenner (R-WI). A complete list of co-sponsors can be found by visiting the Right to Repair Web site.
