Unlock the details behind the automotive Right to Repair movement with Stacey Miller, Vice President of Communications at the Auto Care Association. Have you ever wondered why independent repair shops struggle to fix modern vehicles? Tune in as we explore the impact of advanced technology and wireless data transmission on these shops, and the critical importance of the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair Act (HR 906). Discover how this bipartisan legislation aims to ensure that both drivers and fleet owners can access high-quality and affordable vehicle repairs and learn why this issue is so vital to the auto care industry and the nation's supply chain.

Also, get ready to challenge your perceptions about aftermarket repairs and parts as we dissect key insights from the Auto Care Factbook. We'll dispel common myths and show how aftermarket parts often meet or exceed original manufacturer standards. With the industry employing 4.7 million Americans and contributing nearly 2% of GDP, the stakes couldn't be higher. Listen as we celebrate the tireless efforts of industry leaders advocating for the right to repair and find out how you can join the movement using the hashtag #righttorepair. Stay tuned for a sneak peek at our next episode, which will update you on right to repair developments beyond the automotive sector.
