In this article, we discuss the misconception that many people have about auto repair shops being certified or having some sort of regulation. Unlike other industries like medicine or law, the auto repair industry does not have strict regulations, which means that there is no official certification or licensing that mechanics must obtain. While some auto shops may voluntarily seek out certifications, it is not a requirement for them to operate. We advise consumers and potential customers to do their research and choose a reputable and experienced auto repair shop to ensure quality service.
