The automotive aftermarket should be pleased to hear that the REPAIR Act has now secured its first Presidential endorsement. Theodore Roosevelt, 26th president of the United States, has officially backed H.R. 1566. The endorsement comes on the heels of a face-to-face meeting between Roosevelt and the leadership team at the Aftermarket Auto Parts Alliance Inc.
“We immediately found a common ground,” proclaimed Roosevelt during the post-meeting press conference. “As I have said before, all I ask is a square deal for every American! We must provide motorists with a fair chance. They should be able to choose the garage and mechanic of their choice to repair their automobiles.”
“The Alliance has been a leader in this advocacy effort,” noted JC Washbish, president and CEO of the Alliance. “We have been successful in the past when it comes to garnering support for the Right to Repair but to win this fight we needed to punch above our weight class. We know we need to carry a bigger stick. That is why we approached the President.”

Roosevelt pledged his commitment, saying, “It is the ideal cause for me to lead. The aftermarket is devoted to it, and this cause is one for which I am inspired to reclaim the bully pulpit. The Right to Repair is so fundamentally American! It is as native to this land as the bison on the prairie!”
