Ottawa, Ontario – On October 17, 2023, AIA Canada members met with Members of Parliament (MPs) and key political figures from across the country to advocate for the right to repair for the auto care industry.
In a recent press release, AIA Canada president, JF Champagne stated, “What we asked MPs, and will continue to do so, is to grant Canadian consumers the power of choice when it comes to auto care.”
He further noted, “When it comes to servicing and repairing modern vehicles, access to the vehicle’s diagnostic data is vital. Automakers control this data, including how much is made available and who has access to it —including auto repair shops. Without full and equal access to this data, independent auto repair shops cannot service a vehicle.”
