California Unveils Disciplinary Record Search Tool

Feb. 18, 2021
If the tool is successful, similar strategies could be enacted with other state-licensed practitioners such as doctors or dentists, lawmakers said.

Feb. 18, 2021—California’s Bureau of Automotive Repair has released a new map-based search tool that will allow consumers to check the disciplinary records of auto shops, NBC Bay Area reported. 

The implementation was prompted by a 2019 event in which a shop ruined a driver’s engine during a routine oil change. The shop was later found to have failed seven state inspections. With the new tool, lawmakers hope similar situations will be eliminated.
