Warren Statement on Right to Repair Victory in Massachusetts

Washington, D.C. – Today, a federal judge in Massachusetts delivered a win for consumers by dismissing the automobile industry’s challenge of Massachusetts’s right-to-repair law. Massachusetts has been a leader in automobile right-to-repair for more than a decade. In 2020, Massachusetts voters approved a ballot measure by a three-to-one vote to prevent automakers from using new technologies to monopolize repairs.

In response, U.S. Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) released the following statement:

“This big court win will save working people time and money by delivering on their right to get their cars fixed wherever they want — without being beholden to their auto dealership. The people of Massachusetts overwhelmingly voted for this years ago, and thanks to state leaders like Governor Healey and Attorney General Campbell tirelessly fighting to get this done, it’s finally a reality. Massachusetts is leading the way in showing that when government is on the side of working people, we get important things done.”
