AutoDistribution says it will sue automakers that refuse to provide it with technical data to carry out car repairs.
"We've been fighting for years to get access to carmakers' technical information and we're reaching the end of our tether," said Olivier Van Ruymbeke, CEO of AutoDistribution. The company is France's largest independent parts and servicing business.
"If it does not happen in the next two to three months, we shall go to court," Van Ruymbeke said.
