is calling on its members and the wider auto care community to take immediate action in the fight for the right to repair with the launch of the “#RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW” challenge. The initiative encourages every member to send a new letter to their legislator, demanding swift action on Right to Repair legislation.

The challenge is designed to amplify the voices of consumers and industry professionals alike, ensuring that their message reaches the halls of Congress. As part of the challenge, participants are asked not only to urge their legislators to pass H.R. 906, “The REPAIR Act,” but also to spread the word by tagging three colleagues, friends or industry peers on social media, urging them to do the same.

Here’s how to participate in the #RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW challenge in three steps:

  • Send a New Letter: Visit repairact.com to send our updated letter to your legislator.
  • Take a Selfie: Take a selfie featuring a message that you took action. Post about your action on social media, using the hashtag #RighttoRepair.
  • Tag More People: Challenge three others to do the same by tagging them directly in your post.

“As summer comes to a close and Congress picks back up from its August recess, it is now a critical moment for us to make as much noise as possible on the right to repair issue to capture the attention of our elected officials,” said Bill Hanvey, president and CEO,

. “We want to make sure Congress knows how important right to repair is to the American people, and one of the best ways to capture their attention is through grassroots efforts like the ‘#RighttoRepair, RIGHT NOW’ challenge. In the shadow of an election that is less than 100 days away, I ask that all members of our industry partake in this social media campaign with us to keep this fight for the right to repair alive on Capitol Hill.”

The Auto Care Association provides all the resources necessary to participate in this campaign, including letter templates, legislator contact information, and

      Registration Now Open for AAPEX 2025
      By Counterman
      The Automotive Aftermarket Products Expo (AAPEX) announced that registration is now open for AAPEX 2025. The annual event brings together buyers and sellers from every segment of the $2.3 trillion global aftermarket. AAPEX 2025 will take place at the Venetian Expo and Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, from Nov. 4–6, 2025.
      “For 30 years, AAPEX has attracted tens of thousands of global attendees and exhibitors who come to see the newest products, cutting-edge technologies and the best business—and hands-on training the aftermarket has to offer,” said President of MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers Paul McCarthy. “Yet every year when we ask participants why they attend, the top answer is consistently ‘for the networking’ because AAPEX is where business gets done.”
      AAPEX 2025 Theme: Ready for Every Shift
      The theme for AAPEX 2025 is “Ready for every shift.” This message highlights the resilience of the aftermarket supply chain. Attendees will hear more about this during the keynote breakfast, headlined by Hockey Legend Wayne Gretzky. Known for rising above physical disadvantages, Gretzky succeeded by thinking strategically. His story fits well with the event’s message of adaptability and change.
      Industry Collaboration Drives Event Excellence
      AAPEX is co-produced by MEMA Aftermarket Suppliers and the Auto Care Association. These organizations listen to industry feedback and implement annual improvements. Their efforts ensure AAPEX 2025 continues to meet attendee and exhibitor needs.
      AAPEX 2025 Offers Unmatched Global Reach
      Attendees can expect more than 2,700 global exhibitors and 5,500 booths. Exhibitors will include manufacturers, remanufacturers, tool and equipment makers, sourcing companies, warehouses, and service shops. These companies represent every corner of the aftermarket—from collision to tires.
      More than 45,000 professionals from over 128 countries will attend. They range from senior executives to entry-level technicians. Attendees value the exclusive hands-on learning and global networking opportunities.
      AAPEX 2025 Features Record-Breaking Training Sessions
      AAPEX 2025 will offer its largest selection of training sessions ever. The event has already confirmed over 75 sessions. Presenters include WorldPac and NAPA Auto Parts, among others. Many exhibitors will also host technical sessions at their booths.
      These sessions offer invaluable development for professionals at all career stages. Topics will cover everything from technical skills to business operations.
      Joe’s Garage Returns with New Highlights
      Joe’s Garage remains a major attraction at AAPEX. The space includes 10 operational service bays for real-world training. Throughout AAPEX 2025, attendees can join dozens of educational sessions and view 27 product demonstrations.
      The demonstrations will showcase innovations in automotive service and repair. These live demos offer technicians valuable insights into new tools and processes.
      New Student Competition Debuts
      To help address the U.S. technician shortage, AAPEX continues supporting vocational and trade students. This year, AAPEX 2025 adds a competitive student event. Teams will race to disassemble and reassemble an engine inside Joe’s Garage.
      This high-energy challenge highlights emerging talent and promotes careers in the aftermarket industry.
      Enhanced Networking at AAPEX 2025
      Based on attendee feedback, AAPEX 2025 introduces new networking experiences. A live band will play throughout the show. Daily “booth crawls” will encourage exploration of interactive exhibits.
      Attendees can relax in expanded seating areas on the second floor. The reimagined “Beers & Gears” reception will return to Joe’s Garage on November 4, 2025, from 4:00-6:00 p.m.
      “I’ve had the good fortune of being part of the automotive aftermarket for the better part of 40 years,” said Auto Care Association President and CEO Bill Hanvey. “One of the most remarkable aspects of AAPEX is that despite the magnitude of the market, this show is a bit like a homecoming every year – people genuinely enjoy reuniting and exploring how different parts of the market are addressing our current challenges.”
      Register Now and Reserve Your Hotel
      Interested attendees can register online. The AAPEX 2025 registration fee is $50 until June 27, 2025. After that, it rises to $75 through September 26, and $100 after.
      Training sessions cost $150 each. A discounted package of five sessions is available for $400.
      Qualified trade students and media may register for free. AAPEX encourages attendees to book hotels early through onPeak, the official housing partner. Shuttle services will be available for convenience.

      Is everyone switching to EVs now? How’s the experience so far?
      By WiperTech008
      Hey guys, need your advice on something real quick. I’ve been really interested in EVs lately, but I’m still on the fence about making the switch. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the cost vs. value of EVs vs gas cars. Can anyone share some real-world advice?
      How bad is charging really? And do the lower maintenance costs actually make up for battery replacements down the road?
      Would especially love to hear from those who’ve owned both – what made you choose electric (or stick with gas)? Appreciate any tips from you pros!
