NTS’ Post

Eleventy billion years ago, when I was 17, I was an auto parts delivery driver working for The Man (Hi Dad!). Rog, short for Roger, was a mechanic with his own small independent repair shop. I delivered a lot of parts there. One day I was telling Rog that I was about to leave for college. Rog said "I'll tell you what I told my daughter when she left for college: The first two things you need to do when you get where you're going are find a good dentist, and find a good mechanic." This is really good advice and I never forgot it. Now I have a good dentist and a good mechanic (Hi Max!). Fortunately for my dentist, my right to repair my own damn teeth is not in question. But my mechanic's professional situation is precarious until #RightToRepair passes. A short list of things you will accomplish by clicking the link to send messages to your legislators in support of #R2R: 1) Help ACPN get $2,000 in scholarship money. We can do so much good with that kind of money. 2) Over 40? Let's stick it to Young Auto Care Network Group (YANG)! 3) Help ensure your right to repair your own damn stuff. 4) My cars are aging and I really need Max to be there for us. 5) If your legislators are the Princesses, you can be the pea.

🔧 The Right to Repair Movement Needs Your Voice! 🔧 In an era where technology and convenience drive our daily lives, the ability to repair our own vehicles stands as a fundamental right we must protect. The Repair Act aims to ensure that vehicle owners and independent repair shops have access to the necessary tools, diagnostics, and information to maintain and repair vehicles efficiently and affordably. Why is this important? Here are the key reasons: - Cost Savings: Ensuring access to repair information keeps costs down for vehicle owners, providing more options outside of manufacturer networks. - Consumer Choice: Empowers vehicle owners to select where and how their vehicles are serviced, fostering competition and innovation. - Environmental Impact: By extending the lifespan of vehicles through repairs, we contribute significantly to reducing waste and conserving resources. This movement is not just about the automotive industry; it's about setting a precedent that affects all technology and equipment we use daily. Your involvement can make a difference. Here's how you can help: - Educate yourself and others about the importance of the right to repair. - Contact your lawmakers and express your support for the Repair Act. - Spread the word to create awareness and build momentum for the cause. - Every voice counts in the fight to protect our right to repair. To learn more about how you can get involved and support the Repair Act, visit https://lnkd.in/edSFixjz. Together, we can drive change and ensure a future where we have the freedom to repair our own property. Let's stand united for the right to repair! #autocare #connectedaftermarket #automotiveaftermarket #RightToRepair #RepairAct #AutomotiveIndustry #ConsumerRights #Sustainability
