Do you have the right to repair your car?

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

If your car is newer, you may have fewer options of places you can take it for repairs. Some cars are so high-tech that they need specialized equipment to repair, which may only be available at dealerships.

Expanding the average car owner's "right to repair" could increase their freedom of choice.

Bob Jerred, vice president of operations at Sturdevant’s Auto Value, and Stacey Miller, vice president of communications at the Auto Care Association, explain more.
