Independent Shops Save Money
Study Finds Independent Shops Save Consumers Money
Independent auto repair shops save American consumers nearly $26 billion annually or $360 per family, according to a new study conducted for the Automotive Aftermarket Industry Association (AAIA) and the Coalition for Auto Repair Equality (CARE).
“This comprehensive data provides even more evidence that the automotive aftermarket is a central part of the economy and that consumers will realize significant savings form a competitive vehicle repair marketplace,” said Ray Pohlman, president of CARE. “An extra $360 annually can help a family buy groceries and pay medical bills.”
