#117 of 120 slowly winding its way to the legislators.... by steve_ HOST Apr 29, 2008 (11:25 pm)
"The AASP is a national consumer group based in Boston that is pushing the Right to Repair Act, now in the U.S. Congress and also the [Mass.] state Legislature.   The bill, if passed, will require car companies to provide independent repair shops access to all the diagnostic codes and repair information that it supplies to its dealers."   Local mechanics fight for car repair information (South Coast Today) Replies to this message: estreka (Apr 30, 2008 8:48 am) steve_ (Apr 30, 2008 9:00 am)

Replying to: steve_ (Apr 29, 2008 11:25 pm) I found this article in the WSJ about the expense and ease of repairs. Apparently the IIHS and some group called the Research Coucil for Automotive Repair (RCAR) have been working together to persuade automakers to involve ergonomic design into their automobiles in relation to maintenance and repairs. Interesting article. http://online.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB120671829721371953.html   It should be noted that RCAR is a collection of insurance agencies. I would imagine their agenda involves getting repair costs below the magical $1000 mark, where many folks set their deductables. Replies to this message: steve_ (Apr 30, 2008 9:00 am)
