Ohio Enacts Registration Rules for Auto Glass Businesses

The Ohio Board of Motor Vehicle Repair recently enacted two rules affecting automotive glass businesses in the state.

The OBMVR is charged with registering businesses which conduct collision repair, auto glass repair and replacement, airbag repair and replacement, paintless dent repair and window film installation.

The first rule involves the issuance of a window decal for public display. These decals are being issued to each “registered” business. The decal can continue to be displayed as long as the business remains in compliance with Ohio law. The decal resembles the OBMVR seal in color.

The second rule requires “registered” businesses to display their OBMVR registration number on each estimate and invoice they process.

The rule changes are aimed at increasing public awareness to using legitimate repair operators and obtaining a reliable repair facility or mobile repair unit.
