GET READY TO HAVE THE PERFECT SUMMER!

The 2026 Perfect Stop® Powersports Promotion is back—and bigger than ever. 

Picking perfect has never looked better.

Six lucky participants will ride off into the sunset with a powersports vehicle of their choice. And that’s not all—throughout the summer, we’ll also be awarding $25,000 in gift cards to 150 additional winners.

Even if you’ve already sent a letter, send another—this final push matters.

The REPAIR Act protects consumer choice and access to the tools and data needed to repair modern vehicles. Without it, costs rise and options shrink.

We need your voice now.

Take 30 seconds to send a letter to Congress urging support for the REPAIR Act. The process is simple: pre-written, customizable, and sent directly to your lawmakers.

Most shops don’t.
