Replying to: volvomax (Oct 17, 2007 9:38 am) That is arrogance at its best. To be honest, I pay little attention to the automotive part, mostly because trucks are what I do. If it weren't for the truck portion of Volvo, they'd be just another car to me. The whole point of this thread is the "Right to Repair Act". Not, "I can puff my chest up further than you". So, if you want to get back on track with the discussion, that would be nice. If not, then I am wasting my time with this discussion.

Replying to: 0patience (Oct 17, 2007 4:11 pm) You are a shining example. Volvo Truck is completely separate from Volvo Cars. They have different owners,different everything. You have a little info, on a completely different company,and you are not applying it properly.

You don't have to see everything the same way, but let's not make this personal, please.

Replying to: volvomax (Oct 18, 2007 9:14 am) However, I sure don't want another regulatory body in place, so I don't know how to solve the issue. Perhaps you'd require at least an automotive degree in order to get a business license? You can't (theoretically) do commercial electrical contract work without a license, so why can you work on brakes commercially with zero zip zilch training? And defense of "free market" doesn't work for me so well, because any fool can hang a sign out that says "Brake Experts" with no supervision or penalty unless they kill someone. |

Makes a lot of sense.
