Working with our Aftermarket members, we have identified the issues that will have the biggest impact on the growth and profitability of their businesses.
Learn more about each issue below, then take action by sending emails to your legislators urging them to support the Aftermarket.
Motor vehicle manufacturers and dealers are unfairly restricting access to vehicle-generated data and repair and replacement components. This is shrinking the market and driving up costs. Without legislation, the aftermarket’s service and repair market share could drop from 70% to 54% by 2035, costing $92 billion. Urge your members of Congress to support the REPAIR Act.
Vehicle suppliers develop many of the advanced technologies needed to deploy AVs and automated driving systems. Federal law needs to be modernized to make it easier for suppliers of all sizes to research, develop, and manufacture these technologies. Tell your members of Congress to pass this legislation.
American leadership in the global automotive supplies market is supported by strategic tax incentives, specifically Section 45X and Section 48C. These incentives are crucial for the continued growth and competitiveness of U.S. auto suppliers. The potential repeal of these provisions threatens domestic manufacturing jobs, reduces investment in advanced facilities, compromises national security by increasing reliance on foreign supply chains, and hinders America's ability to compete globally in the vehicle market. Without these incentives, the future of American manufacturing and international competitiveness in this critical sector are at risk. Urge your members of Congress to ensure the Section 45X and Section 48C tax incentives are maintained.
