What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Connecticut limited repairer performs a restricted scope of motor vehicle repair — typically work like glass, upholstery, or a single specialty — under a DMV license. The license is conditioned on a $10,000 surety bond, filed on the DMV’s repairer bond form K-158.
The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it is conditioned on the repairer complying with the state and federal laws governing the repair business. If a repairer violates those laws and a customer is harmed, the customer can recover against the bond.
One honest note: Connecticut reorganized its repairer-bond statute recently — Public Act 23-40 amended C.G.S. 14-52 and moved the limited repairer bond provisions, effective in 2024. The DMV still issues a limited repair license and collects the $10,000 bond on form K-158. Confirm the current requirement on your DMV application, and if anything has changed we will issue to match.
