ADME commentary

The ADME angle

The fact that Australia's Right to Repair scheme is being held up as a model by New Zealand's independent workshop leaders is a testament to the strength of the Australian automotive industry

Background on Right to Repair

The Right to Repair movement is about giving independent workshops access to the same information and resources as authorised dealers, which could potentially increase competition for Australian dealers

This increased competition could lead to a decrease in pricing and margin for Australian dealers, as independent workshops are able to offer similar services at a lower cost

Impact on Australian Dealers

Australian dealers may need to reassess their pricing and service offerings in order to remain competitive in a market where independent workshops have increased access to information and resources

The Australian scheme's reputation as a model for other countries could also lead to an increase in showroom traffic, as consumers become more aware of their rights and options when it comes to vehicle repair and maintenance
