California requires a repair shop to hold a state licence or registration: the Bureau of Automotive Repair issues it under Cal. Bus. & Prof. Code § 9884.6, and it is not collision-specific: the same credential covers general repair. That is the state credential behind the Nevada County numbers above; the register is the fourteen states that license body shops.
What a delinquent registration means
A delinquent status on the BAR register means the shop's registration renewal has lapsed in the state's records. Nevada County currently shows 23 of them. Before booking, check the shop yourself through the state's license search at the Department of Consumer Affairs, or follow our step-by-step guide to verifying a California body shop license.
