About each permit
Automotive Repair Shop Licensing — Montana Dealer Statute Scope
No fee is listed for this record. MCA 61-4-101 lists the vehicle-trade licenses the state department issues — a new dealer's license, a used dealer's license, a broker's license, an auto auction license and a wholesaler license — and under that section each covers buying, selling, brokering or auctioning vehicles, not repair work. An applicant for a new dealer's license must, under the same section, maintain a bona fide service department for repair and maintenance, but that obligation attaches to the dealer, not to an independent garage. A shop that only repairs vehicles, buying and selling none, falls outside 61-4-101.
