What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
A Nevada garage that performs repairs or storage registers with the Department of Motor Vehicles, and NRS 487.563 conditions that registration on a $5,000 surety bond (or an equivalent deposit). The bond is a consumer-protection guarantee standing behind honest work and your compliance with Nevada's garage and vehicle-repair laws.
It is a three-party arrangement: you (the principal), the surety carrier, and the DMV together with harmed customers. If a garage fails to perform, commits fraud, or violates 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. Operators who do clean work treat the bond as a registration formality, and we keep your $5,000 filing continuous.

Claims, renewal, filing, and what sets the price.
If a claim is made
A claim comes from the party the bond protects, the obligee named on the form, when the duty the bond guarantees is not met.
The surety investigates and pays a valid claim, up to the $5,000 bond amount. You then repay the surety: a surety bond is a guarantee of your performance, not insurance for you.
Renewal and term
The premium covers a one-year term from the effective date you choose; a longer term is the same price per year, chosen at checkout.
Renew before the expiry date to keep the bond in force: the license, permit or contract it backs expects continuous coverage.
How to file it
File with the DMV. Your executed bond arrives by email, ready to file with your garage registration. The original is mailed to the address you give, signed by the principal before filing.
What sets the price
The premium is fixed at $125 at the $5,000 amount for every applicant: the carrier’s rate book prices this bond by the form, not by your credit or your business profile.
