SB 784 Oklahoma Senate · 2026 Regular Session

Motor vehicle repair; creating the Oklahoma Motor Vehicle Consumer Protection Act; requiring certain written consent for certain service work; directing Insurance Department to adjust certain maximum daily storage rates. Emergency.

SB 784 creates Oklahoma's Motor Vehicle Consumer Protection Act to regulate auto repair shops. It requires shops to get written or documented verbal consent before work begins and provide detailed written estimates for all services, including itemized fees. The bill caps tear-down evaluations (for total loss vehicles) at $65 per hour (max 4 hours) and limits administrative fees like diagnostics or communication charges to the same hourly rate. It also sets specific daily storage fees for vehicles held by shops (e.g., $39-$55/day for first 10 days) and directs the Insurance Department to adjust the hourly rate every five years.
