It\u2019s going to save them a lot of money. They\u2019re going to be able to do it themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump said he became interested in the order after reading about people who \u201cwere arrested for fixing their car.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s right to fix and I think it\u2019s really common sense. If somebody wants to fix \u2014 some of these people are better mechanics than mechanics in the shop,\u201d Mr. Trump said. \u201cThey\u2019re telling the mechanic in the shop how to fix their car or their truck.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Automakers increasingly are controlling vehicle repairs and parts through software and other exclusive tools that force car owners to pay higher costs.<\/p>\n<p>Under the directive, the Environmental Protection Agency will issue guidance clarifying what actions individuals may take to fix their vehicles\u2019 emissions systems, expedite ways for consumers to acquire aftermarket auto parts, and stop issuing civil actions against people who attempt to fix or modify their cars.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3079\">House passes kids online safety package, setting up battle with Senate<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin, who attended the announcement, said the Trump administration would not \u201cbe going after people who are fixing their own vehicles like past administrations have.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration issued several environmental regulations that required auto repairs to be completed by dealerships or mechanics who were certified under the Clean Air Act, a rule Mr. Trump said increased the cost of car repairs.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Trump earlier this month met with auto industry leaders to discuss a potential \u201cright-to-repair\u201d directive. Executives from General Motors, Ford Motor Co., the National Automobile Dealers Association and the Alliance for Automotive Innovation attended along with Sen. Bernie Moreno, Ohio Republican who is a former auto dealer.<\/p>\n<p>The Alliance for Automotive Innovation has supported the proposal, noting that 75% of post-warranty vehicle repairs are performed at independent shops.<\/p>\n<p>However, the auto dealers\u2019 group had opposed the idea, saying it would enable aftermarket parts dealers to reverse engineer auto parts and produce \u201cknockoffs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>They also said it gives insurance companies more power to influence repair decisions.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/homebuyerrelocation.com\/?p=3077\">America\u2019s misguided minimum wage meltdown<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Trump on Monday signed an order allowing Americans to fix their own cars with aftermarket or third-party parts, a move aimed at breaking up the autoparts monopoly and making auto repairs more affordable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3082,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6,7],"tags":[14,45,1221],"class_list":["post-3083","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-politics","tag-donald-trump","tag-environmental-protection-agency","tag-lee-zeldin"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 -
