2 Answers
Class III vehicle repair application conditions involve personnel requirements, equipment requirements, area requirements, and business scope requirements, all of which must comply with the 'Auto Repair Business Establishment Conditions' to be eligible for application. Below is a detailed introduction to the requirements for Class III auto repair applications: 1. Personnel requirements: There must be a sufficient number of personnel engaged in vehicle repair, with no fewer than two inspectors, no fewer than two engine repair specialists, and all must possess qualification certificates issued by the competent authority, requiring certification for employment. The technical supervisor should hold a diploma in vehicle repair or a related major at the college level or above, or possess a mid-level or higher technical title in related skills. 2. Area requirements: The reception area must not be smaller than 20 square meters, the parking area must not be smaller than 30 square meters, and the production workshop must not be smaller than 120 square meters. 3. Equipment requirements: The necessary work equipment includes: electric welding and gas shielded welding equipment, gas welding equipment, press machines, vehicle exterior cleaning machines, grinding and polishing equipment, profile cutting machines, body correction systems, paint mixing equipment, dust and dirt removal equipment, etc.
I've been in the auto repair business for nearly twenty years, and when it comes to the requirements for applying for a Class III auto repair license, it's actually not too complicated. There are a few basic conditions that need to be met: First, the workspace must be large enough, typically requiring a decent-sized workshop—repairs can't be done outdoors—and must include safety equipment like fire extinguishers. Second, in terms of personnel, there must be at least one certified technician; uncertified apprentices can't work independently, which ensures repair quality. Third, the equipment must be complete, with basic tools like wrenches and diagnostic devices being essential. Fourth, before applying, you need to obtain a business license from the industrial and commercial bureau and then get a repair permit from the transportation management department. If all these are prepared, the approval rate is high. Honestly, many people overlook environmental standards, such as proper disposal of used engine oil—if not met, it can easily cause delays. I remember helping a friend prepare once—his space was a bit small, but after renting a larger warehouse, he passed smoothly. The whole process isn't too difficult, but you need to carefully prepare the documents.
