Regulate price of car repairs and labour costs

Petition Details

We think unregulated pricing creates an uneven playing field. We think unscrupulous mechanics may inflate labour costs and mark up parts excessively, taking advantage of consumers' lack of knowledge. We think this harms individual consumers and undermines trust in the automotive repair industry.

Additional Information

There is currently no standard, regulated pricing system for car repairs, which we think leaves the customer at the mercy of varying garage price policies.
