Comment | There is no evidence extending the warranty will provide any real benefit to the consumer. You will give the new car dealers an unfair advantage over the independent repair segment of the industry, should you decide to pass the proposed regulation. I and most of the independent repair facilities invest many thousands of dollars each year to remain current with the changing technology, so we have a true vested interest in repairing and servicing today’s automobiles. The price of the new vehicles will rise just due to the cost of the litigation alone. It is unheard of to require a manufacturer to warranty any product beyond its useful life. Most automobile owners do not keep a vehicle for 15 years, yet they will be paying the price of the warranty for the second and third owners in the initial purchase. Please really think about what this pending legislation will do not only to the new car manufacturers but the consumers and the aftermarket industry. Please VOTE NO on the proposed amendments to extending the emission warranty regulations. Thank you, Mike Mahneke Mahneke Motors Goleta, CA |
