Sunrise Automotive supports the Right to Repair!
by sunriseWhat is the right to repair act?
The Right to Repair Act would require car companies to provide full access at a reasonable cost to all service information, tools, computer codes and safety related bulletins needed to repair motor vehicles; thus leveling the playing field between dealerships and independent repair shops like Sunrise Automotive.
This basically means that dealerships will not be able to withold information from other repair shops forcing you to go to the dealer, pay higher labor rates, and have less options on where you should be able to take your vehicle.
“The Right to Repair Act is al about consumer choice, ensuring consumers have the right to choose where and by whom they have their vehicles repaired,” says Ray Pohlman, president of the Coalition for Auto REpair Equality. “Failure to pass this bill could mean that car owners are held hostage by the car companies, forced to return to the dealership even after the vehicle is out of warranty.”

That’s great that you support that. I didn’t know that was an issue until just reading that. Can’t believe how dealerships have gotten away with that for so long.
That’s a great bill. I hope to see that get passed. Dealerships have had an unjust hold on car repairs and by forcing them to grant access to their programs and tools will even the playing field between auto shops and dealerships.
