In September 2026 the governor told Ohio EPA to start ending E-Check, but testing continues until U.S. EPA approves. Details are on the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency site. Customers have the right to an estimate when repairs will cost more than $50. The bill cannot go more than 10 percent over the estimate without the customer's approval, and the shop must return replaced parts unless they go back under a warranty or rebuild deal.
