TORONTO New cars are packed with technology keeping us safe and tracking our every move, but they re also transmitting data in real time back to car manufacturers. Independent repair shops and companies that sell after market parts say that s giving dealerships an unfair advantage. “We believe it s going to negatively impact the capacity of consumers to choose where and how they get their car serviced,” Jean-Francois Champagne, the president of Automotive Industries Association of Canada (AIA), said. The association says there are 500,000 jobs in Canada related to the aftermarket auto parts and auto service market. AIA has started a right to choose campaign along with a petition that says Canadians should have access and control of their car s data.
