Auto Industry Touts NV Repair Resolution
Repair ResolutionSenator Hardy Resolution Clarifies Industry Responsibility CARSON CITY, NV (June 8, 2007) ? The Alliance of Automobile Manufacturers (Alliace), the Association of International Automobile Manufacturers(AIAM) and the Automotive Service Association (ASA) are supporting Nevada State Senator Warren Hardy's efforts to ensure that consumers have access to the vehicle repair facility of their choice.
A recently passed resolution, sponsored by Senator Hardy, clarifies the automakers? commitment to providing the same service and training information to independent repairers as made available to franchised dealers. This resolution underscores the longstanding and important role that independent repair facilities play in the automotive industry.
To help resolve service and repair related issues, Nevada repairers are encouraged to work through the National Automotive Service Task Force (NASTF). NASTF serves as a forum to identify and resolve gaps involving motor vehicle repair information and tools. This national, voluntary solution has proven to be an effective resource for repairers and manufacturers alike, and over the course of the past six years, has managed to develop an effective forum to point independent repairers to the information and tools they need and to provide a mechanism to report and resolve the few gaps that remain.
?Manufacturers recognize the importance of the independent repair industry and want to make sure that consumers have the option of having their vehicles serviced by the repairer of their choice,? says Dave McCurdy, Alliance CEO.
