If you run a business that repairs or services motor vehicles, you need a Motor Vehicle Repair Business Licence under the Motor Vehicle Repairers Act 2003
 
Business owners must also hold an individual certified repairer’s Certificate to do repair work personally. You must be a certified repairer or employ a certified repairer to supervise repairs for each class of repair work your business carries out. One certified repairer can supervise up to three uncertified repairers (I.e. if you employ six uncertified repairers, you will require at least two certified repairers to supervise them).
