Small businesses across the nation rely on vehicles for standard operations. In a disappointing decision, lawmakers removed crucial provisions of the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act from what is known as the Highway Bill, which were intended to provide local independent repair shops with critical data that is necessary to safely repair vehicles.

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. Blocking access to repair those vehicles not only hurts auto shops who rely on the tools and data needed to repair vehicles, but it also harms the businesses who are forced to endure lengthy travel and wait times to have their vehicles serviced.
