NV body shop license bonds.
$100. Five minutes.
Nevada requires every licensed body shop to file a fixed $10,000 bond with the Department of Motor Vehicles under NRS 487.640. Ours is $100 flat — the price you see is the checkout price, identical for every shop. The application is five minutes, and it collects no credit information.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Nevada licenses body shops through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and NRS 487.640 conditions the license on a $10,000 surety bond. The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee: it stands behind honest, competent repair work and your compliance with Nevada's vehicle-repair laws.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the DMV together with harmed customers (the protected parties). If a shop commits fraud, negligence, or a violation of the repair statutes and a customer is injured, that person can bring an action on the bond.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Shops that do clean work and keep good records treat the bond as a license formality, and we keep your $10,000 filing continuous.
