Automakers to gearheads: Stop repairing cars

[Nine8Six]

Not a huge news to me. Already in place in China and policy established by the Ministry of Transport - not all strongly enforced however.

Any maintenance or repairs required needs to be carried out by an 'officially' appointed installer/mechanic. Technically, only the dealers are appointed by the ministry of transport here loll

If let's say you have an accident, and after scrutiny, an inspector finds that your brake pads were installed by JackThePartChanger (Indy?), both are accountable: a)the vehicle owner and b)the (illegal) installer. Insurance won't pay.. blah blah.. you see where this goes

Luck with finding a cheap and 'legal' indy/mechanic here (all illegal stuff really)

There... some culture difference for you guys lolll
