It might surprise you that manufacturers of all kinds of things unfairly limit their customers’ repair options, intentionally making repairs more expensive and more difficult. When you buy something, you own it, and you should have the right to repair it, whether that means taking it to the repair shop of your choice or fixing it yourself. More and more manufacturers are restricting access to replacement parts and the tools you need to repair your devices. That’s why we all need Right to Repair!
