My fear was that my neighbourhood mechanic would go out of business. We talked about that with the representatives of the Automotive Industries Association of Canada. They see this as a major threat.
Ever since electric vehicle manufacturers like Tesla arrived on the scene, it's become harder and harder to repair vehicles. Now it requires special equipment. What's more, accessing the information isn't necessarily easy, because it's not always shared. That makes it hard for regular people like neighbourhood mechanics to do this kind of repair work.
I think consumers should have the option of taking their vehicle to their neighbourhood mechanic. I had my Jetta serviced at the dealer for the four years it was under warranty. Then, I stopped going to the dealer. I took it to a bunch of other mechanics to give everyone business.
