ASA Leaders Brief U.S. Congressman Chris John

Automotive Service Association (ASA) leaders met with U.S. Rep. Chris John, D-La., to discuss the Agreement between the automakers and ASA providing service information to independent repairers. The ASA executive committee briefed Rep. John on the progress of the Agreement.

The Motor Vehicle Owner's Right to Repair Act, H.R. 2735, has been referred to the House Energy and Commerce Committee. Rep. John is a senior member of the Energy and Commerce Committee and is running for an open U.S. Senate seat in the state of Louisiana.

Attending the meeting were Geralynn Kottschade, AAM, chairman of ASA's board of directors; Denny Kahler, AAM, chairman-elect; Charlie Elder, AAM, secretary/treasurer; Ron Pyle, ASA president; and Bob Redding, ASA's Washington, D.C., representative.

"Congressman John was pleased to hear the agreement was working well between the automakers and independent repairers. He is supportive of our efforts to keep Congress informed of the progress we are making in obtaining service information," said Redding.
