Establishes means by which customers may submit written authorizations approving repairs to be made by automotive repair dealers.
This bill requires automotive repair dealers in New Jersey to obtain written customer authorization before performing vehicle repairs. The authorization must include the customer's full name, contact details (email or phone), a description of the repair needed, and the vehicle's odometer reading. If customers don't know the specific repair, a description of the problem to the dealer satisfies the requirement. Repair shops performing work without this written authorization face fines up to $1,000 for a first offense and $3,000 for subsequent violations.
