Over 120 technicians, shop owners and affiliates came out to the Grey Bruce Independent Automotive Repair Association’s Right To Repair awareness event held in Owen Sound on April 9.
John Cochrane, a past president of the AIA and owner of Cochrane Automotive gave in depth
examples of how the R2R issues are already affecting the ability of the aftermarket repair
shop to work on newer vehicles, forcing their return to the dealer.
AIA Canada’s Scott Smith also gave an informative presentation in which he urged everyone to go to the right to repair website, sign the petition and write to their local member of parliament.
Scott also pointed out that it was one of the largest turnouts for a R2R information night that he has seen and applauded the GBIARA for organizing it.
