## Resource

Modern cars are turning into high-tech black boxes, locking independent mechanics out of vital repair tools and software — forcing owners to pay premium dealership prices. A growing “right to repair” movement, backed by legislation like the REPAIR Act, demands equal access for all shops. Veteran mechanics argue the cost is too high when consumers have no choice but dealerships. The fight isn’t just about cars — it’s spreading to farm equipment and medical devices, challenging manufacturers’ control over repair info and pushing for fair, affordable options for everyone.
