Question

Can a car dealer have a car repair on the same location?

Community Answer

The car dealer must be the same owner as the repair shop. There must be a clear separation between the two businesses. DMV record, office and display area must be separate from the repair shop.

Question

How do I obtain a car dealership license if I don't own a lot yet?

Community Answer

You can still obtain a car dealership license even if you don't own a lot. You could work from home if you really wanted to, as long as the local residential rules allowed business operations. But contact your local business bureau to find out for sure.
