The right to repair movement has gained serious momentum in recent years, with legislation emerging across the US, EU, and beyond. In 2025, new rules are coming into force that will directly affect independent repair shops.

What Is the Right to Repair?

The right-to-repair movement pushes manufacturers to make spare parts, tools, and manuals available to repair professionals and consumers. This levels the playing field between official service centres and independent repair shops.

Why It Matters for Repair Businesses

– **Access to parts**: More availability of spare parts and components.

– **Customer trust**: Consumers are more likely to seek independent repair options.

– **Competition**: Repair shops can compete with manufacturer service centers more fairly.
