For the auto care sector to survive and thrive, we need the right to repair—Canada is too geographically diverse to rely on automakers alone to service our vehicles. Quebec is taking a step in the right direction with Bill 29, but what exactly does this bill—or the absence of it—mean for the auto care industry? And how does the Federal bill, C-244 compare, and what does it mean for Canadian consumers? This episode of Curbside Chat, brought to you by AIA Canada, dives into the right to repair, as well as other critical industry issues, such as modernizing operations, up-skilling, and employee recruitment. Join host Lorraine Sommerfeld, Alana Baker, Vice President of Government Relations and Research at AIA Canada, and Emily Chung, owner and licensed automotive technician at Auto Niche, for the latest episode of Curbside Chat.

Join Lorraine Sommerfeld, host of the Curbside Chat vodcast series, giving sector professionals a forum to talk about the issues important to the Canadian auto care industry with the people who make things happen!
