National Federation of Independent Businesses Voices Support for REPAIR Act

March 6, 2025
NFIB underscored the importance of legislation like the REPAIR Act in ensuring an equal playing field for independent repair shops.

The National Federation of Independent Business has voiced support for the recent reintroduction of the REPAIR Act in a press release this week.

NFIB sent a letter to Rep. Neal Dunn in support of his legislation, which was reintroduced in Congress recently.

Within it, NFIB Principal of Federal Government Relations Andrea McGee underscored the importance of legislation like the REPAIR Act in ensuring an equal playing field for independent repair shops.

“The REPAIR Act is a much-needed piece of bipartisan legislation to increase competition in the automotive repair industry and keep money in consumers’ pockets,” said McGee. “NFIB represents countless businesses in rural areas that only have local independent vehicle repair or aftermarket parts shops. Without access to an independent vehicle repair shop, consumers will be forced to spend more time away from their own businesses and take more money out of their pockets. We appreciate Rep. Dunn and Rep. Gluesenkamp Perez for introducing this important legislation to remedy this issue that impacts many small businesses across all industries.”
