APRA issued a statement last week that “strongly urges Congress to pass the legislation in order to ensure that car owners and their trusted repair shops have the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the franchised new car dealer network.”

CHANTILLY, Va. — The Automotive Parts Remanufacturers Association (APRA) has added its name to the list of other national and regional associations that have recently declared support of the Motor Vehicle Owners’ Right to Repair Act (HR 2694). APRA issued a statement last week that “strongly urges Congress to pass the legislation in order to ensure that car owners and their trusted repair shops have the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the franchised new car dealer network.”

“Automotive parts remanufacturers have a real need for proper technical information. The need to effectively diagnose trouble spots and offer remanufactured products that solve these problems for the consumer is important. Remanufactured products provide the consumer with price conscious options as well as environmentally friendly options since remanufacturing is the ultimate form of recycling,” said APRA President William Gager.

“For remanufacturers to be hindered in their effort to offer quality products to the consumer is not only un-American but also anti-environment,” Gager added.

Gager added that APRA encourages its members and all motorists to visit www.righttorepair.org to send a letter to each of their congressional representatives, urging them to support the Right to Repair Act (HR 2694).
