Why do you need an Oregon Motor Vehicle Dismantler Bond?

The State of Oregon provides licensing for motor vehicle dismantlers buying, selling, and processing vehicles for the purpose of altering, salvaging, or dismantling for parts. Businesses interested in dismantling, who are not involved in the selling of brand new vehicles or repair, may be exempted from the certificate. In order to protect future patrons of the dismantler and to avoid any public hazards, the State of Oregon requires dismantlers to be bonded from a verified surety carrier.

Apart from the mandatory legal compliance, securing your own licensing bond also ensures:

• Clients are completely safe and secure under your agency
• Your credibility is boosted in terms of financial security
• You are able to use your full line of credit
• The confidentiality of your activities (unless requested by legal authorities)
• Your access to professional advice counseling from lawyers, estimators, and similar professionals.
