Right to Repair Decision Could Be Coming Soon

The ongoing Right to Repair legal battle in Massachusetts has been a fixture in automotive aftermarket headlines for almost two years now, and a lot has happened since state voters approved the measure on the November 2020 ballot. A decision could be coming down this Friday, but after numerous delays, it would come as no surprise if it were delayed again.

Nevertheless, Friday is an important day for the aftermarket. We’re dipping back into the podcast archives to revisit a conversation from last month on the ADAPT Podcast with Aaron Lowe, senior vice president of government and regulatory affairs with the Auto Care Association, about what’s at stake in the decision and why shop owners outside of Massachusetts should care.
