The commercials from ballot question one in Massachusetts in the year 2020 were despicable. None of those commercials stayed up online after the ballot question was over. I archived a few of them on my channel last year in a video dedicated to them. I think of more people knew that Ford, Toyota, Honda, Nissan, and general motors, made a concerted effort to convince the public that independent mechanics being able to do their job would lead to them being assaulted and beaten in a parking lot, that they would be more pushback against these companies. Some of them are iconic American brands, proudly owned by people who value freedom and put American flags on the bumper of their F150 or Silverado while the company they gave money to lobbies against their ability to choose who fixes their car. They put millions of dollars into brainwashing campaigns to scare people out of allowing others to fix what they own. People who buy them think they represent freedom, without realizing that this was from a bygone era... they USED to represent freedom & American values. It is sad how such amazing companies are now shadows of their former selves. :(

im a mechanic, i have worked for these companies, they have been trying to make this a reality for years, im in the fight for right to repair, i didn't go into this trade to be part of a monopoly , i did it because my best memories are late nights in the garage getting Bradon's dirt bike running for the first time, late nights till 3 am swapping motor because its not a passion or a hobby or even a career to me, its an obsession i think about these machines and how they work as i fall asleep at night, i constantly tell my friends to learn at least how to do oil changes, rotate your tires, put on your winters your self. my uncle's first vehicle was a van with a blown engine, he swapped it in my grand mothers drive way, only took him a weekend to learn how to and do it, now to swap the head light bulb on my chevy traverse i need to open up the wheel well and reach on in till i got to the bulb, this is not how it should be, people should be able and encouraged to fix there own machines, its what made me want to be a mechanic, every one should be able to as well.

i agree with what your saying and get where your coming from. I am a technician as well for the past 16 years. I do agree that you should have a right to repair. But i think you should have to show a valid mechanic license if you want to purchase Safety related parts over the counter. I have seen some seriously hacked suspension and brakes installed poorly, not tightened or just as simple as the brake calipers being twisted up. I think when it comes to safety related items, Brakes, steering and suspension components, Seat belts, air bags ECT, these parts should only be purchased from Licensed techs and installed by a licensed tech. Hell most places you cant do any major upgrades to your property without a building permit, and even industrial electrical components cant be purchased without a electrician license at least here in Canada anyway

As a Masshole I can tell you firsthand, the "vote no on 1" ads from last year fighting right to repair were so horrendously aggressive and misleading. One of them even had some guy saying he owned a repair shop (yet he didn't name his shop, I wonder why 🙄) and he was advocating no on 1. I think that was in response to one of the yes 1 ads which had a person who actually owned a small repair shop in Leominster. My own local mechanic also had yes on 1 signs in front of his shop. I also work for a big car dealership chain (ironic), and the president of the company sent out an email to all of us saying we should vote no on 1. I legit took offense to that, such a load of crap. I was way more passionate about voting yes on 1 than I was voting for president. It's such garbage what these automakers as well as Apple, John Deere, etc are trying to do. As if consumers weren't already paying way too much for the products in the first place.

I am split on this issue. On one hand I do think you should be able to fix your stuff. On the other hand I am tempted to be against this out of spite. Because I am a Tuner and us Tuners have basically been saying this for the last decade. Tuning has basically been legislated out existence in most of the world and the few places it hasn't it is about to and no one cared. In fact the car community supported these anti tuner laws because "the environment though" and we tried to warn them that the restriction of customers to mod their vehicles could be used to stop them from repairing their vehicles. They didn't want to listen and they called me a conspiracy theorist and what do you know the exact thing I said would happen is happening. If you don't support the right of tuners to do to their car what they want then I don't support your right to fix your car.

It's supposed to be for anything a consumer can buy. Most people will get locked in by the tech, but having a choice to go to the local garage instead of the dealer means huge $$ savings for the consumer. If it can get traction, you won't have to buy another smart phone in 2 years when the battery dies but the electronics are still good. By extension, if the car companies get what they want, they can pressure a continual buying cycle when the person comes in for service and the vehicle is nearing the end of warranty, but still a good vehicle not needing replacement. Right to repair: good for the consumer, good for the planet.

Complexity at its core is a huge reason people dont care to learn about vehicles in general. Adding simplicity makes people more apt to learn and try things on their own. As someone who lives in the rust belt id still rather own a 20+ year old 💩box than something new simply because when it goes down im not fighting tooth and nail to repair it. Its pushed even harder by lack of replacement part availibility since the pandemic began.

they would NOT dominate, not for a long time at least. The right to repair is something that only concerns the used car market, on top of that, removing exclusive rights from your cars only means losing money to other people. A car manufacturer gets no benefit from allowing this. Only the consumer does, the consumer doesnt matter that much because, as we've seen time and again, they are stupid and will buy there stuff anyway.

a smart way that suzuki does it and many other manufacturers to make people do the service at a brand shop is by offering extended rust guarantee and free road side assistance if you service your car through them. by giving people the option to go to any shop but also giving them a reason to go for the more expensive one which is the brand specific one will they ensure that people come back with their cars whilst still keeping people happy and keeping people buying their cars. I personally think it is genious. a service at a local small shop is 30% cheaper than at the local suzuki dealer, but since I live in an area where roads are actively salted all winter which leads to rust have I done the choice that I will service my car at the suzuki shop and do the repairs that isn't service at a local shop. I keep the rust guarantee and the completely free road side assistance whilst still saving a buck and saving time because I don't have to do it myself. my second car however is an old classic and I do most of the work on that one myself except for some things that are way easier done or done at all with some specialized tool that I don't own right now.

As a professional Auot Mechanic since 1978 I have watched the evolution of this whole thing. Gone are the days that anyone could repair their car or truck, even if the manufactures are forced to have everything thing open sourced the cost of owning diagnostic equipment will keep most individuals from making repairs at home. It also causes independant shops to struggle because the techknowlogy changes every year with updates etc... Gone is the simple ODBII sytems when a small handheld code reader was effetive and scanners are not cheap especially when they need to be updated periodically. Everything is considered a module including the radio in your dash that if change out you have to take it to the dealer to have it programmed it has to read and reconize the VIN of the vehilce you are installing it in, the manufactures claim it is a security feature. I could go on and on but you get the picture. Oh one other thing is when you take something to the dealer their labor rates are astronomical, around $250 per hour.
@aaronthomas61553 жыл бұрын
Dealership labor rates vary from shop to shop. The shop I currently work at is $155/hr. The last shop I worked at was $120/hr. Both shops waive the diagnostic fee if you approve repairs. At one point, GM actually had their anti-theft system built into their radios. The likelihood of every system in a car going open source is nill. A lot of the "infotainment" systems are developed using QNX. QNX is not open source software and is copyrighted. Best case, you'd get the UX moved to open source. You would completely cease innovation in every industry by forcing QNX to be made open source. Also, making automotive firmware open source, risks irreparable damage to vehicles. Most of that code is written in ASM and is useless to the average person.

Rich Rebuild? You mean the guy who forged Tesla receipts, making it seem like a new battery would cost over $20,000, and then charged someone half the cost of a brand new battery to replace two cells on an 8 year old battery? That Rich Rebuilds? Yeah, he’s such a hero.
