Average age of a car in the US hit 12.1 years last year: https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/averag... In the case of car service parts, there’s a burgeoning after-market network of suppliers. I can probably find 5+ parts from different suppliers for brake wear parts for even 25 year old cars sold in significant volume. As someone wrenching on very much not-new cars for the family (and occasional friend), I don’t think we need a legislative solution for car parts. |

The fact that there is after-market suppliers is more that manufacturers haven't worked out how to stop that on purely mechanical parts.
They would much prefer to tie you to their own maintenance network and parts if they could.
