The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB) is urging Congress to reinsert crucial provisions of the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act into the Highway Bill. The REPAIR Act aims to provide local independent repair shops with critical data necessary to safely repair vehicles.

Impact on Small Businesses

Small businesses across the nation rely on vehicles for standard operations. Without access to necessary data from manufacturers, these businesses may be forced to choose only authorized dealers for their vehicle repairs, leading to longer and more expensive repair times.

The NFIB sent a letter to the U.S. House urging members of Congress to reinsert language from the REPAIR Act into the Highway Bill to give small businesses and consumers a choice in who performs their vehicle repairs.
