S 906 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes means by which customers may submit written authorization approving repairs to be made by automotive repair dealers.

S 906 requires automotive repair shops in New Jersey to obtain written customer authorization before performing vehicle repairs. This affects both repair shops (who must follow the rules) and customers (who gain clearer authorization requirements). The authorization must include the customer's full name, contact information (email or phone), a description of the needed repair, and the vehicle's odometer reading - though a problem description to the shop suffices if the repair type is unknown. Shops performing repairs without this written authorization face penalties of up to $1,000 for a first offense and $3,000 for repeat violations. The law takes immediate effect upon enactment.
