Summary of S 4753: Automobile Collision Repair Disclosure Bill

Main Purpose and Intent

The primary purpose of S 4753 is to require automobile collision repair shops to disclose to consumers the specific types of replacement parts they plan to use in a repair, along with information on the cost and warranty coverage for those parts. The bill aims to provide consumers with more transparency and information when getting their vehicles repaired after a collision.

Key Provisions

  • Repair shops must provide customers with a written estimate that lists:
    • The specific types of replacement parts (OEM, aftermarket, recycled, etc.) that will be used
    • The cost for each type of replacement part
    • The warranty coverage for each type of replacement part
  • Customers must be given the opportunity to authorize the use of a particular type of replacement part before the repair is completed.
  • Repair shops that fail to provide the required disclosures could face penalties and fines.

Affected Parties

The bill would primarily impact:
- Consumers/vehicle owners getting their cars repaired after a collision
- Automobile collision repair shops, which would be required to provide the new disclosures
- Manufacturers of original equipment (OEM) replacement parts, as well as suppliers of aftermarket and recycled parts

Procedural and Timeline Details

  • S 4753 was introduced in the New York State Senate on October 27, 2025 and has been referred to the Transportation Committee.
  • This bill is similar to previous legislation (A 2880, A 3872, etc.) that has been introduced in prior legislative sessions but not enacted.
  • If passed, the new disclosure requirements would take effect 90 days after the bill is signed into law.

Overall, S 4753 is intended to empower consumers with more information about the repair process and the types of replacement parts used, allowing them to make more informed decisions about their vehicle repairs.
