Willie Cade’s advocacy for the Right to Repair movement directly impacts the heavy-duty aftermarket industry, where access to repair data, tools, and parts is critical for maintaining commercial fleets and equipment. The movement aligns with the industry's commitment to cost-effective, efficient, and sustainable vehicle maintenance.
