Right to repair ruling is a ‘big win’ for South Africa consumers
The Competition Commission has stated that vehicles may be serviced at independent dealers in South Africa without voiding warranty.
This is after the Competition Commission published draft guidelines for competition in the South African Automotive Aftermarket industry last Friday.
The guidelines, which are open for comment until March 16, propose to ensure that a greater number of firms have an opportunity to service and repair vehicles within the warranty period.
