This Auto Parts CEO Is Suing the Government—Here’s Why Car Prices Keep Rising

In this exclusive episode of The Motor Files, we sit down with Mike Musheinesh, CEO of Detroit Axle, to unpack how recent tariff policies are reshaping the auto parts industry — from supply chains and pricing to innovation and expansion.
Detroit Axle grew from a small family shop in Dearborn into a national aftermarket powerhouse. But today, even established American manufacturers are feeling the pressure. Projects are paused. Costs are climbing. And customers are paying the price.
Mike didn’t set out to become a public voice in this debate — but when policies began threatening workers, affordability, and long-term competitiveness, staying quiet was no longer an option.

This conversation dives into:
How tariffs are disrupting the auto aftermarket
Why expansion plans were put on hold
What this means for car owners, mechanics, and families
Why market forces — not mandates — drive real competition
The hidden consequences few are talking about
If you care about cars, auto parts, American manufacturing, or where the industry is headed, this is a conversation you need to hear.
