ASA and NADA Send Joint Letter to Congress on Service Information Agreement

The letter stated: "NADA and ASA want to make perfectly clear to all parties -- and most importantly their customers -- that they can repair vehicles because the service information and diagnostic tools needed are available to them in the marketplace.

"NADA and ASA believe the information necessary to diagnose, service and repair vehicles is already being made available to all parties in the automobile repair industry."

In 2002, ASA and the auto manufacturers signed an agreement to give independents access to service information, training and tool information that franchised dealerships already had.

"We believe the voluntary agreement is working and the federal legislation is no longer necessary. We hope the U.S. Congress will continue to allow the industry solution to work. Federal intervention will only disrupt the processes in place," said Bob Redding, ASA's Washington, D.C. representative.
