Restore our right to repair our own vehicles

Pass federal legislation protecting independent repair shops and owners who maintain their own cars.

In 2012, the Massachusetts Right to Repair Act set a precedent the industry chose to ignore. Today, manufacturers continue to lock telematics data behind proprietary walls, cut independent shops out of safety recalls, and design components that fail deliberately once a third-party part touches the circuit. The result is a two-tier system: dealer or nothing. A hobby built on self-reliance is being engineered out of existence one software update at a time.

The fix is straightforward. Require automakers to share the same diagnostic data with independent repairers that they share with their own dealers. Extend that to telematics. Prohibit software locks that void warranties when an owner uses a qualified independent shop. The parts and the skill are there. The access is being withheld.

This campaign asks Congress to pass comprehensive federal right-to-repair legislation for vehicles, with teeth, before the next model year closes the door entirely.
