Automotive Service Association: Ohio Budget Amendment ‘Would Place Unfair Burden’ on Repairers to Inform Consumers About Non-OEM Parts

ASA: Ohio Budget Amendment ‘Would Place Unfair Burden’ on Repairers to Inform Consumers About Non-OEM Parts

An amendment proposed for the Ohio budget legislation would exempt insurers from providing notice to customers when non-OEM parts are used in a repair.

An amendment proposed for the Ohio budget legislation would exempt insurers from providing notice to customers when non-OEM parts are used in a repair.

If enacted, the repair shop would be held responsible for notifying the customer.

“As most auto insurers’ policies require the use of non-OEM or used parts during the repair of the vehicle, the measure would place an unfair burden of enforcing the insurer’s provisos on the repairer,” the Automotive Service Association (ASA) asserted.

The national and Ohio chapters of ASA said they oppose the amendment and encourage repairers to send a letter of opposition to their state legislators.
