The pres signed a memo to get the EPA to end the CARB bottleneck, and end persecution of Americans who fix their own cars


President Trump signed a presidential memo directing the EPA to end one of the more absurd overreaches of the Biden era: the prosecution of Americans for fixing their own vehicles.

The memo goes further than just ending the arrests. It targets a California-specific bottleneck that has been quietly choking the aftermarket parts industry for years. 

The only federally recognized third-party certification body for aftermarket auto parts was CARB, the California Air Resources Board,  a notoriously backlogged and slow process that gave Sacramento effective veto power over auto parts sold nationwide.

 The presidential memo ends that monopoly. “𝘕𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘳 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘭 𝘊𝘈𝘙𝘉 𝘣𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘳𝘥 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘺 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘴𝘦 𝘢𝘧𝘵𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵 𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴,” Zeldin said.
