How-To Guide on finding currently licensed Auto Salvage Rebuilder Shops can be found here.

The Division of Commercial Licensing and Regulation is responsible for creating standards and procedures for the issuance of a salvage rebuilder's license to licensed automobile repair shop facilities so that such facilities may repair total loss salvage vehicles. The auto salvage rebuilding regulation is intended to ensure that vehicles are reconstructed in a safe manner for the consumer/retail buyer, and to prohibit the use of stolen parts/ vehicles in the rebuilding of such vehicles.
