Carmakers told to give independent garages access to repair information
Four vehicle manufacturers, DaimlerChrysler, Fiat, General Motors and Toyota, have been told by the European Commission to provide technical information about car repairs to all independent garages in the European Union. A Commission investigation found that inadequate access to the full range of technical information could drive independent repairers from the market and that the agreements between the carmakers and their authorised repairers would therefore infringe EC Treaty rules on restrictive business practices.
