2 Answers
To apply for a Class II repair shop, the equipment must meet standards and be complete, facilities must be fully equipped as required by the state, and personnel must be complete, with technicians responsible for specialized tasks properly assigned. Below is the relevant introduction: Classification standards: Class I automobile maintenance enterprises. Class II automobile maintenance enterprises. Class III automobile repair enterprises. Introduction to Class II repair shops: A Class II automobile repair shop is an enterprise engaged in first-level and second-level automobile maintenance and minor automobile repairs. Automobile maintenance refers to the operations performed to maintain the vehicle's good technical condition or working capacity. Minor automobile repairs refer to operational repairs that ensure or restore the vehicle's working capacity by replacing or repairing individual parts.
The requirements for opening a Class II auto repair shop are quite specific. The premises must be at least 200 square meters, with dedicated repair bays and parking areas. Essential equipment like vehicle lifts and tire changers are mandatory – I remember my friend's shop got held up due to incomplete inspection tools. Staffing requires at least two technicians with intermediate certifications, plus a certified safety manager. All necessary systems must be in place, including maintenance quality control procedures, and recently added hazardous waste disposal regulations. You'll need property deeds or lease agreements, environmental assessment reports, and must apply for the license through local transport authorities – the entire process typically takes two to three visits.
