Why do auto repair shops need a vehicle license?

Generally, they don't require it unless the intention is to use the vehicle for fraudulent insurance claims. Below is an introduction to the driver's license: 1. Overview: The full name of the driver's license is the motor vehicle driver's license, also known as a "driving license." It is a certificate required by law for individuals who operate motor vehicles. Driving a motor vehicle requires certain driving skills, and without these skills, operating a vehicle recklessly could lead to traffic accidents. Generally, individuals cannot drive on the road without a license. However, for those who have mastered safe driving techniques, the document that permits them to drive vehicles on the road is the "driver's license." This indicates that a driver's license is a "certificate of permission." 2. Definition in China: In China, the driver's license is defined as a legal document issued by the administrative authorities to individuals who have legally learned to drive motor vehicles, mastered traffic regulations and driving skills, and passed the relevant examinations, permitting them to operate certain types of motor vehicles.
I've been driving for ten years, and every time I go to the repair shop, they check the vehicle license. This is mainly to verify if the car is mine, preventing someone from bringing in someone else's car or a stolen vehicle for repairs, which could cause trouble. Like the last time my rearview mirror was broken, the mechanic verified the license plate number and engine number on the vehicle license to ensure accurate repair records, avoiding overcharging or repairing the wrong car. Also, in case parts need warranty service or insurance claims, the vehicle license serves as an official document to prove ownership, which is necessary for the insurance company to acknowledge the claim. If you don't bring the vehicle license, it might cause delays or even misunderstandings. So, I suggest all car owners develop the habit of carrying it—it's safer, makes the repair process smoother, and saves time and effort.
