Advocacy Navigation:

The Automotive Body Parts Association (ABPA) is committed to helping consumers better understand the rapidly changing automotive repair marketplace and the real-world impact rising repair costs, vehicle technology, parts availability, and industry policies can have on drivers and families.

Through consumer-focused research, educational resources, and industry collaboration, the ABPA works to promote awareness of affordable repair options, consumer choice, and the importance of maintaining a competitive repair environment.


Research Reports

ABPA sponsors independent studies that take a closer look at the pressures facing drivers in today’s repair landscape. From the growing number of vehicles being totaled to the rising cost of even routine repairs, these reports offer clear, data‑driven insights into what consumers are experiencing and why.

Visit the ABPA Consumer Research page to learn more about the findings and the importance of maintaining a competitive parts marketplace.


My Parts Choice

My Parts Choice

In April 2021, the ABPA launched MyPartsChoice.com, a consumer information portal dedicated to providing consumers with the resources needed to fully understand and manage the auto repair process, and the importance of choice when considering the parts used in repairs.

Please visit MyPartsChoice.com and share the link to help ensure consumer parts choice and right to repair options are not terminated or compromised by car companies.
