MIL code RIGHT TO REPAIR

[diyer2]

I will maintain, repair everything as long as I'm able. Did a project recently that was light duty physically but awkward position, took 2 days for my back to straighten out. I don't enjoy fixing things anymore but dealing with poor work and the cost leaves no alternative. The cost I can afford but the rise in blood pressure dealing with the B.S. isn't good.

As I’ve gotten older I established good relationships with a couple of dealers. I’ve been using a Honda dealer for 22 years. A GMC-Hyundai dealer for over 20. A local Chevy dealer for the same time. And a exhaust bender- auto repair shop for 40 years. He recently retired and built a private shop and does work by appointment. I only do stuff on vehicles I want. Although that’s less over time.

Wonder how 'Big Oil' will react to loosing 68% of their business. The amount of a barrel of oil that goes toward gasoline and diesel fuel.

They'll do what they are doing right now, selling fully refined fuels overseas!

After spending most of my life working in independant garages, treating people fairly and doing the best job possible At 67 years old I have semi retired but folks still call me to trouble shoot and I still do some gravy jobs. I am NEVER happy when I take the Caddy ANYWHERE for service because it's never done right the first time, The trucks are still fully serviced by me and while I don't move as fast as I used to nothings changed as far as aches and pains after working. I am also from Massachusetts and haven't noticed much of a change since they passed the right to repair law but then again I usually don't see anything till it's at least 5 years old and by then most of the info I need is out there somewhere, if the manufacturers don't release any info more and more independants will be gone leaving people with NO choice but to get bent over at the dealer

I believe the first right to repair law passed around 2010? in Mass because auto makers would not release code definitions and allow scanners to access propriotary info
