      The Auto Care Association, MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers, CAR Coalition, CVSN, PAMA and NFIB support the “Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair” (REPAIR) Act 2025.
      Senators Ben Ray Luján (D-NM) and Josh Hawley (R-MO) introduced this bipartisan, bicameral bill.
      The bill ensures that consumers can repair their vehicles freely, safely and affordably.
      The Impact of Automaker Restrictions
      As vehicles modernize, automakers block independent repair shops and aftermarket suppliers.
      They impose arbitrary restrictions on who can access repair data. This forces Americans into exclusive, more expensive repair networks.
      As a result, American drivers face higher repair bills with fewer repair choices. Independent repair shops, parts manufacturers, and aftermarket service providers struggle with automaker restrictions. These barriers complicate routine repairs and maintenance. A recent survey shows that 84% of independent repair shops view data access as a top issue.
      Support from Industry Leaders for the REPAIR Act 2025
      “The
      link hidden, please login to view applauds Senators Luján and Hawley for introducing the commonsense, bipartisan REPAIR Act 2025,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association. “Thanks to their leadership, federal right to repair protections gain ground in both chambers of Congress. We commit to protecting nearly 300 million drivers and 900,000 technicians who depend on the $500 billion auto care industry. We’ll work together to turn the commonsense REPAIR Act 2025 into law.” Promoting Consumer Choice and Freedom
      “Americans deserve a car repair market that promotes choice and protects access to affordable and safe repairs,” said Justin Rzepka, executive director of the CAR Coalition. “As the right to repair movement strengthens, we’re thrilled to have the leadership of Sens. Luján and Hawley. The REPAIR Act 2025’s introduction in the Senate is a huge milestone. This bill brings us closer to empowering consumers with the freedom to choose safe and cost-effective solutions.”
      Protecting the Aftermarket Industry
      “We thank Senators Luján and Hawley for introducing this important, bipartisan legislation to protect vehicle owners,” said Paul McCarthy, president,
      link hidden, please login to view. “The REPAIR Act ensures aftermarket suppliers can continue to deliver innovation, parts, and tools for safe, affordable vehicle repair. This bill protects consumer choice, maintains a level playing field, and strengthens businesses and jobs in our vital industry.” Strengthening Supply Chains and Competition
      “CVSN thanks Senators Luján and Hawley for protecting America’s supply chains by keeping trucks and fleets on the road,” said Kristen Kellogg, senior director, government affairs, CVSN. “Giving drivers the freedom to choose where they repair their vehicles strengthens competition. It supports a resilient supply chain and ensures fair access to repair.
      This legislation is a win for consumers, independent repairers, and businesses across the U.S.”
      NFIB’s Support for Competitive Auto Repair
      “NFIB applauds Senators Luján and Hawley for leading the Senate on this important bipartisan bill,” said Andrea McGee, principal, federal government relations, NFIB. “The REPAIR Act maintains competition in the automotive industry. Almost 90% of NFIB members voted in support of right to repair, making it one of their top priorities. NFIB thanks Senators Luján and Hawley for their dedication to this issue.”
      PAMA’s Call for Consumer Protection
      “PAMA commends Senators Luján and Hawley for taking this important step to cement consumer choice,” said Justin Cialella, government affairs committee director for the Preventative Automotive Maintenance Association. “This legislation comes at a critical juncture. Automakers continue to impose barriers that restrict our ability to repair vehicles.”
      Public Support for Right to Repair Legislation
      Independent repair shops and other members urge Congress to pass automotive right to repair legislation. Consumers agree – 75% of American drivers support right to repair solutions like the REPAIR Act 2025.
      House Reintroduction and Growing Support
      This milestone follows the bill’s recent reintroduction in the House of Representatives.
      Reps. Neal Dunn (R-FL-02) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA-03) lead the effort with more than 20 bipartisan cosponsors.
