Massachusetts bill puts drivers at risk, some mechanics say

A Massachusetts bill aiming to help motorists may actually cause them to be less safe. According to Automotive Body Repair News, the Massachusetts Auto Coalition believes the so-called Right to Repair bill may make it easier for counterfeiters to supply unsuspecting drivers with faulty parts.

The fears are caused by the fact that the bill loosens protective measures put in place to secure automakers' intellectual property. As a result, many mechanics believe that this could hasten the spread of low quality parts that are not constructed with the right materials or in the correct way, something that could have serious implications.

"We constantly are monitoring product quality and rejecting counterfeit parts." industry insider Jamie Godfrey told the news source. "My fear is that this bill could unintentionally lead to even more substandard and inferior parts flooding the market."

To ensure that their vehicles are of the best quality, motorists will want to visit only reputable sellers such as New Jersey Auto Auction, which offers used vehicles at an affordable price.
