Have you ever imagined to get a car borrowed from machine shop while waiting for the repairs to your own? The Legislative Assembly of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Alerj) yesterday approved in first discussion, the Bill 114/2011, which provides that authorized workshops and accredited to offer similar vehicle that is being repaired, when there is not original in stock. The project is still in the House voted again. If approved, will go to the sanction of the Governor Sérgio Cabral.

Under the proposal, the workshops have up to ten working days to provide a spare car owner who needed to keep their standing, waiting for parts. The law would benefit mainly owners of imported cars, since the delivery of parts from abroad takes longer.
New car owners do not usually purchase parts outside the authorized stores - yet there is more variety and better prices on the black market - because there is a risk of losing warranty.

According to a spokesperson for the Alerj, there is a time limit for the poll, but the author of the project, Dionysus Lins (PP), expected to occur until the second vote next week for it to be sanctioned before recess of the deputies - between 1 and July 31.

The proposal is that the punishment of one thousand Ufirs (Fiscal Reference Unit) for those who break the law. In case of recidivism, the fine would increase to 50 000 Ufirs. Moreover, if the repair is not made within 30 days, the property may be registration at the Taxpayers Tax on Goods (GST) canceled.

According to Lins, the law was motivated by the high number of recorded complaints about this in the consumer protection agencies.
