United States Rep. Bobby Rush has introduced the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act. The Automotive Aftermarket Suppliers Association (AASA), Auto Care Association, CAR (Consumer Access to Repair) Coalition, and Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) issued a statement supporting this action. The legislation, H.R. 6570, is meant to ensure the preservation of consumer choice, a fair marketplace, and the continued safe operation of the nation's 288 million registered motor vehicles, 70 percent of which are serviced by independent repair shops."Today is one of the most memorable and important days in the history of the aftermarket. The REPAIR Act will help guarantee consumers' rights and the ability of the industry to ensure their vehicles operate safely," commented Paul McCarthy, president and CEO of AASA. "From the repair shop to the board room, this effort has been fueled by the people of the aftermarket, and we couldn't be prouder of that alignment behind this important legislation. This effort supports principles of competition, consumer choice, and safety that we believe will benefit the whole automotive industry in the long run." |
