Auto Repair-General - Licensing Information

Required State License(s):  

An Auto Repair Facility is required to be licensed.  Certified mechanics are required for every category of repair (work performed on autos, trucks/semi-trucks with trailers, motorized trailers, motorcycles, RV's, etc.) which the facility provides. Licensing fee is based on the number of licensed mechanics, income and square feet of facility. Contact the Department of State, Secretary of State at (888) 767-6424.  

Further Information:  

There is NO state license required for small engine repair (lawn mower engines, etc.)   However, if parts are sold to an individual who will be repairing their own mowers, a sales tax license is required with the Department of Treasury at (517) 636-4660.
