The Collision Repair Association of California (CRA) is sponsoring legislation that will penalize insurers for having repair shops use aftermarket parts on vehicles that are under a factory warranty.

SB 1059 has been introduced by California State Senator Carole Migden (D) in an attempt to protect interested parties in the event that installed aftermarket parts cause a factory warranty to be void.

Through this legislation, the CRA seeks to show that insurers want to control auto repair work through contracts between the vehicle owner and the repairer in order to remove responsibility from the insurer.
