Allison Harrison grew up surrounded by the automotive world - think Marisa Tomei in My Cousin Vinny, but instead of mechanics, it's car dealers. With her grandparents, parents, aunts, and uncles running car dealerships, she developed a strong understanding of the industry’s challenges and complexities from an early age. That experience laid the foundation for her legal career, where she has focused on helping auto dealers navigate their most challenging issues for the last 14 years.
As the founder of ALH Law Group, her firm has spent over a decade representing auto dealers. She’s defended clients against consumer complaints, as well as actions from the State of Ohio and Michigan. Her experience includes regular appearances before the Ohio Motor Vehicle Dealer Board, the Michigan Department of State, and the Attorney General, where she helps clients tackle regulatory and compliance matters.
In addition to litigation, Allison acts as general counsel for many dealerships, offering practical advice to keep their businesses on track. Her approach is clear and straightforward, cutting through the noise to provide the guidance her clients need.
For Allison, working with auto dealers isn’t just a job—it’s a natural extension of her lifelong connection to the industry. She understands the challenges dealers face because she’s seen them firsthand, and she’s committed to helping her clients succeed.

Dear Representative ___:
As an independent automobile dealer from the state of ___ and your constituent, I am writing to urge you to cosponsor H.R. 1566, the Right to Equitable and Professional Auto Industry Repair (REPAIR) Act. This bipartisan bill was introduced by Representatives Neal Dunn (R-FL) and Marie Gluesenkamp Perez (D-WA) and currently has 30 cosponsors.
As the cost of vehicle ownership and maintenance continues to rise, the REPAIR Act comes at a critical moment. This legislation removes unnecessary barriers and ensures independent repair shops can access essential repair data, compatible aftermarket parts, training, and diagnostic tools. For independent automobile dealers like me, this means being able to efficiently recondition vehicles before sale and provide affordable, ongoing repairs throughout a vehicle's life. These efficiencies translate into real savings for our customers, many of whom are working-class individuals and families who rely on their vehicles for work, school, and daily responsibilities. This is especially true for our rural customers, who deserve access to timely, affordable repairs close to home.
Modern vehicles are increasingly complex and dependent on data. Yet for too long, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) have controlled access to this critical information, selectively deciding who can use it and under what conditions. This control extends to aftermarket parts, often forcing consumers to seek repairs only at authorized dealerships. These practices reduce consumer choice, stifle competition, and undermine the free-market principles that support small businesses and local economies across the state of ___.
Your constituents and my customers deserve the freedom to choose where and by whom their vehicles are repaired. Equal access to tools and information ensures safe, cost-effective, and accessible repairs. It fosters competition, lowers prices, and strengthens small businesses like mine. The REPAIR Act strikes the right balance between protecting innovation, ensuring safety, and upholding consumer rights.
This important legislation is critical to the livelihoods of independent automobile dealers across the state of ___ and urge you to consider cosponsoring it. Thank you for your time and attention.
Sincerely,
