Helping auto repair shops across California get fully licensed — from San Jose to Los Angeles.
The risk of operating unlicensed
One inspection could shut you down.
BAR License missing
Operating without a Bureau of Automotive Repair license can result in fines up to $5,000 per violation — plus forced closure until you comply.
No Seller's Permit (CDTFA)
Without a California Seller's Permit you pay full sales tax on every part you buy for resale — money you should be keeping in your pocket.
No Business License
Your city or county can issue a stop-work order at any time if you're operating without the required local permits. Every county is different.
It's not your fault — the process is complicated, time-consuming and different in every city. That's exactly why we exist.
What we handle for you
Three licenses. Zero stress.
