Legislation in the works could make it illegal for you to work on our own car.
Those pushing lawmakers for the restrictions are specifically trying to prohibit car owners from making repairs to the electrical and computer components of their cars.
Automakers say altering your car’s electronic control units could possibly cause equipment failure and security issues.

The alliance is working to get their idea backed by Congress.
