PBI Stands with ABPA
Advocating for the SMART Act and the REPAIR Act in 2024!
In the ever-evolving landscape of the automotive industry, legislative initiatives play a crucial role in shaping the future of aftermarket collision replacement parts. As proud members of the Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA), Pacific Best Inc. (PBI) is committed to supporting ABPA’s “Taking Action in 2024!” campaign, particularly in advocating for the passage of both the SMART Act and the REPAIR Act.
Why the SMART Act and the REPAIR Act Matter
The SMART (Strengthening Measures to Advance Right to Repair) Act and the REPAIR (Promoting Automotive Repair, Trade, and Sales) Act are pivotal pieces of legislation aimed at promoting fair competition, consumer choice, and innovation in the automotive aftermarket.
The SMART Act focuses on ensuring that vehicle owners and independent repair facilities have access to the information, tools, and software needed to repair and maintain modern vehicles. This empowers consumers to choose where they have their vehicles serviced and promotes a competitive aftermarket landscape.
Similarly, the REPAIR Act seeks to protect consumers’ rights to choose where they purchase aftermarket parts for vehicle repairs. By preventing automakers from restricting access to critical repair information and parts, the REPAIR Act fosters a level playing field for aftermarket suppliers and promotes innovation and affordability for consumers.
