In the never ending competition between new car dealers and independent automotive repair shops, most
of us of theautomotive world are aware of the Magnuson-Moss Act of 1975, though frequently only insofar as it
applies to our ability to do repairs and services without impacting a customer’s new car warranty. Certainly this
is a great place to start a discussion on the legal side and impact of warranties on the tire and automotive repair
world, but it only scratches the surface of legal issues that have every potential to impact our ability to do
business.
