The CAR Coalition

The CAR Coalition is an organization of independent auto parts makers, insurers, retailers and groups working to make sure consumers have the right to choose how and where they get their vehicles fixed.

Automakers want to steer vehicle owners to their own, higher-priced repair shops and prevent consumers from accessing their vehicle data, which are often needed for repairs.

We say this is wrong.

The CAR Coalition is supporting two bills in Congress – the REPAIR Act (H.R. 1566/S. 1379) and the SMART Act – that would create national laws that would give consumers the right to have access to their vehicle data and the ability to use independent repair shops and aftermarket parts.
