If you buy something, you should own it. If you own a car, you shouldn’t need permission to repair it. And if you don’t want to DIY, you should be free to choose where you take it for service—like your independent shop down the street, not just a corporate-owned dealership. That’s the real consumer issue at the heart of right to repair. It’s not just about dudes like me tinkering on old trucks in driveways; it’s about stopping automakers from turning your car into a secret scroll only the dealership can decipher. This affects every single car owner in America.
