What's your take on bill c-273?

Had this emailed to me the other day.  From what I can tell, if it's passed it allows non-dealership shops to aquire tools and manuals to fix new vehicles.  If it doesn't go through it could mean you'd have to take you're vehicle to the dealership for repairs as they'll be the only ones with the know-how to fix it.  Could potentially make repair times pretty long and expensive if there is less compition.

Any one know more about this?

well, my former boss, was getting sent the vehicles that the dealerships couldnt fix... so i dont know what your take is on that but...

x2 my buddy at GCL sees brand new diesel everything all the time. alot of it from dealerships that 'can't figure out whats wrong'

There is only 100% chance this passes.

All good to know.  I got the email from the garage I go to, I hadn't heard anything about it before this.  Sounds worse than it must be than.

for years there was an issue in smaller private shops. they called it Right-to-Repair. when i used to owkr in a private shop it wasnt easy to get all the info to fix some cars. even if you had Alldata or Mitchell on demand. one odd one was we had no ABS info for chrysler products after 1996 or so. good thing chrysler didnt have any issues with their ABS systems. but thats the jist of it.
now i work in a dealership. so i have access to every single tool needed to fix anything on newer dodge/chrysler/jeep. which is cool. amazing the the tools they have.
tool wise i dont think the small shops can afford the 100G + to buy all the special tools. especially for all the different OEM companies.
my 2 sents...

I used to work for chrysler. I still have access to dealerconnect which gives usually good info on chrysler products. as for the tools any shop should be able to fabricate some way to do the job without the "special tools" chrysler forces its dealerships to buy. So the faster chrylser learns that there will always be people out there willing to fabricate some way to fix there vehicle without paying the dealership price. the faster they can stop making these useless special tools  and concentrate on producing quality vehicles again.
