Dear Washingtonians,

It's time to speak out for your right to repair

This year, Washingtonians have a chance to ensure their right to fix all kinds of things, from laptops and tablets to farm equipment, refrigerators, and wheelchairs. HB 1933 is in committee right now and needs urgent action—it has to pass the House by Feb 13 to move on.

Several repair bills have advanced to a late stage of the process in Washington, but none have yet crossed the finish line—last year, the bill ran out of time even though Microsoft came on to support. Your legislators need to hear from you to convince them to make this bill a priority.

It’s yours. You own it. You shouldn’t have to beg the manufacturer for permission to fix it when it breaks. Tell your legislator that you want the right to repair. There are two easy ways to get in touch: call and write. We’ll track down your legislators’ contact info for you.

Common Questions about Right to Repair

What does Right to Repair do?

Right to Repair is simple. It requires manufacturers to provide owners and independent repair businesses with fair access to service information and affordable replacement parts. So you can fix the stuff you own quickly—and get back on with your life.

That sounds great! Who would be against that?

Well, manufacturers like John Deere and Apple don’t like the idea. When your tractor breaks or your cell phone stops working, they want to be the only people who can fix it. And they get to set whatever prices they want for parts and service.

Is Right to Repair a new concept?

Nope! We already have right to repair for cars—that’s why you can take your Ford into a local mechanic. They have all the same software diagnostics and service manuals that the dealerships have. This is the result of decades of auto Right to Repair legislation—laws that have been a resounding success.

How can I get involved?

It’s time to fight for your right to repair and defend local repair jobs—the corner mom-and-pop repair shops that keep getting squeezed out. Write or call your legislator. Tell them you support the Fair Repair Act. Tell them that you believe repair should be fair, affordable, and accessible. Stand up for your right to repair in Washington!
