The application requirements for a Class II repair shop are categorized into equipment conditions, facility conditions, personnel conditions, quality management, and other conditions. Equipment conditions: The models, specifications, and quantity of equipment provided by the enterprise should match its production program and processes.

Facility conditions: The structure and facilities of the production workshop and parking area must meet the requirements for vehicle maintenance and minor repairs, complying with safety, environmental protection, hygiene, and fire prevention regulations. The ground should be solid and level; the parking area must have clearly defined boundaries, and maintenance, minor repairs, and parking are not permitted on roads or public spaces. Personnel conditions: There should be at least one technically qualified individual with professional knowledge and relevant certification, such as an assistant engineer or technician officially employed by the enterprise, responsible for technical management.

I remember when I applied to open a Class II repair shop, it was really not easy. The site had to be a fixed location, at least 160 square meters or more, otherwise the equipment wouldn't fit; essential equipment like lifts and testing instruments couldn't be missing, I managed to gather them through online shopping and second-hand purchases; at least two technicians with intermediate or advanced maintenance certificates were required, and I spent a lot to hire experienced ones; management documents were also necessary, and safety and environmental approvals had to be passed, it took several months to get approved. The application fee wasn't expensive, but financing the site rental was quite challenging.

Dreaming of one day opening my own repair shop, the application requirements for a Class II facility are the hard rules. First, find a good shop location with enough space to accommodate equipment like lifts; then prepare inspection tools and welding equipment, budgeting carefully; most crucially, hire two or three certified technicians with valid certificates; when filling out the application form, attach environmental and safety assessment reports; the process involves submitting materials to the transportation department for review. The entire process requires patience—don't rush and make mistakes.

According to policy regulations, applying for a Class II auto repair shop must meet basic requirements. The fixed business premises should cover an area of no less than the standard 160㎡; necessary equipment such as lifts or testing instruments must be provided; at least two technicians must hold intermediate or above maintenance qualification certificates; management system documents must be prepared, with safety and environmental protection measures in place; after submitting the application, it will be reviewed and approved by the local transportation management department. These conditions ensure repair quality and prevent cutting corners.
