A used motor vehicle dealer applying for a rebuilder certificate files a $15,000 bond with the Used Motor Vehicle, Dismantler, and Manufactured Housing Commission — and 47 O.S. § 583 is explicit that it is in addition to the dealer bond you already carry, not a replacement for it. Ours is $105 flat, the price you see is the checkout price, and the bond issues the moment you pay. The credit screen this application authorizes is a soft pull only, and it never affects your score.
















Rebuilder bonds are about the simplest thing in surety. Here is the entire process:
Business details, years in business, your locations, and an effective date. No financials and no schedule of salvage inventory.
The price is final before you pay, and the executed bond and power of attorney generate on the spot. Any credit screen here is a soft pull that leaves your score untouched.
Send it with your rebuilder application, alongside the separate used motor vehicle dealer bond the Commission also holds. Wet-ink original mailed on request.
A rebuilder takes a wrecked or salvage vehicle, restores it, and puts it back on the road with a rebuilt title. That title is the risk. The buyer is trusting that the repairs were real, the parts were legitimate, and the paperwork describes the car that is actually in front of them — which is why Oklahoma bonds the certificate separately from the dealer licence and conditions it on the issuance of a certificate of title by name.
The bond is held to the State of Oklahoma for the benefit of anyone with a right of action against you as a rebuilder. It voids only if you conduct the business without practising fraud or making fraudulent representations, without violating the Used Motor Vehicle Dealer Laws or the Commission's rules, and if you indemnify anyone who suffers loss from that fraud, from a title you issued, or from any other violation. It reaches consumers, used motor vehicle dealers and auctions alike.
One mechanic to know. The obligation follows the business without any notification to the surety: a change of corporate officers, a change of LLC members, additional locations or an address change, or a substitution of business name where ownership is unchanged are all covered automatically. And it is a hard-dated instrument — 47 O.S. § 583(B) provides that all bonds and licences issued under the act expire December 31 following the date of issue, and since January 1, 2016 licences are issued for two-year periods. Keep it continuous: a lapse in coverage during licensure is grounds for revocation. It is not insurance for you; if the surety pays, you reimburse the surety.
These are the actual issuing fields. The application carries a credit consent, and it authorizes a soft inquiry only.
