The
Ohio Board of Motor Vehicle Repair is a mandatory statewide
program that protects the auto repair industry in Ohio.
Through your participation and registration, you exert
control over and shape the future of the auto repair industry
in Ohio.
The state of Ohio
is addressing critical issues such as falling net profits,
decreasing database repair times, aftermarket versus OEM
parts usage, and a shrinking labor replacement pool. All
are now being monitored and addressed by the Ohio Board
of Motor Vehicle Collision Repair Registration.
Efective December 18, 1997, all independent collision
repair facilities must now register with the Ohio Board
of Motor Vehicle Repair.
In August of 2003, auto glass, paintless dent repair and
air bag businesses were added to registration requirements.
Repairers across Ohio
can now be instrumental in shaping, maintaining and protecting
the future of the auto repair industry in Ohio.
In
March of 2013, window tint installation was added to registration
requirements.
As a group, the auto repair industry is now represented
by the Ohio Board of Motor Vehicle Repair. Our mission
is to assist repairers and inform them of changes in the
business environment while assuring a viable future for
the industry in Ohio.
