President Trump signed Executive Order for Right to Fix

Which supposedly helps bypass CARB for getting EO numbers for aftermarket parts. It would be interesting to see how this works out for us in California. Lets keep the politics out of this please. Interesting on what other forum members think if this will help getting aftermarket parts out to users.

Hopefully this is a step in the right direction. We'll probably still be screwed in Cali.

I partly agree. But who's overseeing the quality of repair? I've seen some horrors up close and online that makes me shudder to think they're on our roads.
Like the muppet who replaced leaking hub seals on his car trailer, but didn't clean the grease off the brakes.

this is aimed more at the small town independent mechanic shops, it really helps the enthusiast market, obviously, but also helps the common man from only having the stealership as a repair option.

I do realise that, but how do you control DIY stuff? It'd be really hard to find a balance between the freedom to work on your car and the safety of others.
Especially on modern cars which are like spaceships compared to pre 90's cars.

you should see the massive number of vehicles on the road in the US that should NOT be on the road in the US.
