Bill Hanvey, Auto Care Association President and CEO, Featured on Limitless Leadership Podcast with Host Josh Parnell

Limitless Leadership podcast host Josh Parnell talks Right to Repair with Auto Care Association's Bill Hanvey.

BETHESDA, Md. - October 17, 2024 - Bill Hanvey, president and CEO, Auto Care Association, joined Josh Parnell on a recent episode of the Limitless Leadership Podcast, an inspiring series known for its insightful conversations with leaders in the automotive aftermarket industry.

In this exclusive episode, Hanvey discussed the right to repair, the importance of core values, and how to be the change agent in the automotive industry. His decades of automotive industry experience and organizational leadership at the helm of the Auto Care Association provided listeners with a wealth of actionable insights.

Taking action for the automotive aftermarket
"It's death by a thousand cuts," said Hanvey, on the topic of right to repair and access to vehicle repair data. "Each time you send a vehicle back to the dealership because you're unable to access that data, it reduces the relationship that these shop owners have with their customers-and that's not fair trade."

The Auto Care Association has been fighting for the independent repair shops and all vehicle owners' right to repair their vehicles for more than a decade. From the 2012 and 2020 Right to Repair ballot initiative victories in Massachusetts, to the MOU between the automotive aftermarket industry and OEMs signed in 2014, and now the federal-level REPAIR Act legislative effort, Bill Hanvey has been at the forefront of the push to achieve vehicle data access for all Americans.

Inspiring industry leadership
The Limitless Leadership Podcast was created to help automotive repair shops learn how to lead, coach, train and manage people better by sharing proven techniques and thought-provoking interviews from industry leaders.

The Limitless Leadership podcast is dedicated to helping aspiring leaders in the automotive repair industry tap into unrecognized potential to achieve limitless results.

"We consider Bill to be a driving force behind the right to repair, and he is an incredible ambassador for our industry," said Parnell. "His desire to focus on the human element regarding decision making and leadership, in general, aligns with our approach as well. Doing the right thing and emphasizing connection before content is important to us and something that the industry needs more of."
