Summary

President Trump’s backing of the REPAIR Act is sparking a major debate over car ownership rights, as consumers push back against manufacturers restricting repairs and upgrades. With car prices soaring past $50K and half of owners delaying or skipping new purchases, the aftermarket industry is stepping in to fill the gap. While automakers argue specialized tools and warranties require authorized dealerships, consumer advocates say these rules cost more and limit choice. As Congress weighs competing bills, the REPAIR Act could empower car owners to truly own their vehicles — and save big on long-term costs.
