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 San Bernardino County numbers above; the register is the fourteen states that license body shops.
