State of Ohio

Ohio State Auto Repairers and Window Tinters Registration is a program established by the State of Ohio to ensure fair competition and level the playing field for repair shops. With a focus on addressing backyard operators, the program aims to reduce price-cutting, provide information and resources to shop owners, and resolve industry issues such as falling profit margins and parts selection. Since its inception in 1997, the program has been actively promoting registration and assisting repairers in complying with the regulations.

The registration requirement, implemented through Amended Substitute House Bill143, was a result of the efforts of concerned auto repairers who sought to compete with illegitimate shops operating outside the law. The legislation provides a grace period of up to four years for non-complying shops to come into full compliance, ensuring that the intent of the board and legislation is to promote fair competition and support the growth of the industry. By registering, repairers can benefit from a more level playing field, access to valuable programs such as The Clean Air Resource Center, and the opportunity to make informed decisions for their businesses.
