About each permit
Repairer's License
Connecticut is one of the minority of states that genuinely licenses auto repair at state level, and it is priced in two instalments rather than one: $140 up front with the application, non-refundable, and a further $340 once the license is actually approved, for $480 total across a two-year term. Beyond the fee, a repairer must post a $25,000 surety bond — half what a new or used car dealer posts — maintain a building able to receive at least one vehicle for repair with office and parts storage space, and either install a waste-oil retention tank of at least 250 gallons or obtain a DMV-approved exemption from that requirement. Dealer or repairer plates are priced separately, at $140 each plus a $5 safety-plate fee.
