This act, starting with the Automotive Repair Act in Chapter 20.3 of the Business and Professions code, outlines many of the rights and responsibilities of both the automotive repair dealer and Bureau of Automotive Repair – it can be helpful in giving valuable insight into both the BAR, its regulatory purpose, and limitations on their power.
Whenever the BAR attempts to revoke, suspend, or restrict a technicians professional license, the technician or service station has certain rights that the BAR must respect and grant based on adjudicatory and administrative procedures.
Make sure you know who the bureau is protecting before making incriminating statements to BAR officials. Understand who they work for – it’s not technicians.
