This November, the state of Maine will be voting on a right-to-repair citizen initiative, Seacoast Online reports.

Question 4 was put on the ballot following a citizens’ petition that gained over 70,000 signatures from the Maine Right to Repair Coalition and other supporters. It was brought to the Maine Secretary of State’s Office this winter.

The initiative has gained support from independent shops such as Duval’s Service Center in South Portland, where owner Erik Lowell has a pro-Question 4 sign displayed in his shop’s waiting room.

Lowell fears that when warranties on newer cars expire and consumers decide to have their vehicles serviced outside the dealership, shops like his will be unable to access diagnostic systems. Though his shop is licensed to perform safety inspections, not having that data will potentially prevent him from doing so.

Dan’s Auto Repair in Boothbay has experienced this problem already. With model years 2021 and newer, owner Dan Williams has encountered an “access denied” message when trying to access the cars’ onboard diagnostics systems.

Nationwide, the right-to-repair movement has faced pushback from the Alliance for Automotive Innovation. In Maine, Question 4 is seeing opposition from the Maine Automobile Dealers Association, which argues that independent shops are able to access as much data as they need. They also cite cybersecurity concerns as another reason for not supporting the initiative.
