BETHESDA, Md., Nov. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Engine Repower Council strongly supports the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (HR 1449) to ensure a competitive automotive repair industry where car owners, not car companies, can decide who repowers or repairs their vehicles.
Engine repowering with a quality rebuilt/remanufactured engine cost effectively extends the life of a vehicle, provides like new or better engine performance, and saves environmental resources. We support each motorist's right to repair or repower their vehicle and patronize the auto repair facility of their choice," said Ken Carter, chairman of the Engine Repower Council. "Passage of the Right to Repair Act will protect car owners and their trusted repair shops from a vehicle repair monopoly by...

BETHESDA, Md., Aug. 23 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Engine Repower Council strongly supports the Motor Vehicle Owners' Right to Repair Act (S 3181/HR 2057) to ensure that car owners and their trusted repair shops have the same access to safety alerts and repair information as the franchised new car dealer network.
Engine repowering extends the life of a vehicle and is good for the environment and the pocketbook. The Right to Repair Act ensures a competitive automotive repair industry where car owners, not car companies, can decide who repowers or repairs their vehicles," said Ken Carter, chairman of the Engine Repower Council.

EPA and NHTSA, on behalf of the Department of Transportation, are issuing this joint proposal to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve fuel economy for light-duty vehicles for model years 2017-2025. This proposal extends the National Program beyond the greenhouse gas and corporate average fuel economy standards set for model years 2012-2016. On May 21, 2010, President Obama issued a Presidential Memorandum requesting that NHTSA and EPA develop through notice and comment rulemaking a coordinated National Program to reduce greenhouse gas emissions of light-duty vehicles for model years 2017- 2025. This proposal, consistent with the President's request, responds to the country's critical need to address global climate change and to reduce oil consumption. NHTSA is proposing C...

If that's the case with you to some degree, you may be doing everything right except marketing your shop aggressively. Sure, the best type of advertising is word-ofmouth, and many shops rely on it exclusively. However, let's be frank. The competition is especially stiff in a down economy, and if you don't already have word-ofmouth advertising running at an optimum, now is not the time to rely on it solely.
I was reminded of this when I received an e-mail from the Car Care Council, which was pushing regular service maintenance. To do this, the CCC suggested hitting customers with some facts, two of which I think are extremely important to communicate to motorists for a shop's long-term viability. First, vehicle repairs cost an average 34 percent more at new car dealerships than at indepe...

On January 5, 2011, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a supplemental notice of proposed rulemaking to amend the test procedures for electric motors and small electric motors. That supplemental proposal, along with an earlier proposal from December 22, 2008, form the basis for today's action to amend the current test procedures used to measure the energy efficiency of electric and small electric motors. These changes will be mandatory to demonstrate compliance with the current energy efficiency standards starting 180 days after publication. The final rule clarifies the scope of regulatory coverage for electric motors and ensures the accurate and consistent measurement of electric motor and small electric motor energy efficiency through changes to the current test procedures. The...
