Maine LD1467 establishes that independent repair facilities must reimburse consumers, dealerships, and manufacturers for costs incurred due to improper repairs on vehicles under manufacturer's warranty.

It also requires these facilities to disclose their non-affiliation and potential warranty conflicts before performing repairs.
