Do Automakers Want to Make it Illegal to Work On Your Vehicle? -ETCG1
In the past week
I've been inundated with articles about automakers wanting to make working on your vehicle illegal. I've read these articles, done some of my own research, and have made this video about my conclusions. I think it best to educate yourself as to what the laws are and what automakers are really trying to accomplish. That way we can make more informed conclusions about what they're really trying to do. I look forward to your comments on this one.
