Body shops in Utah are required to maintain a Utah body shop bond for $20,000. Since the body shop license renews on June 30th of each year, it's a good idea to have the bond run concurrent with your license. Call AmeriPro Surety Bonds at 844-589-9732.
AmeriPro Surety Bonds provides the Utah body shop bond for both first-time applicants and those applicants who need to renew an existing bond.
Below, we provide some information on licensing; however, again, we stress that existing Utah body shop businesses who want to renew their bond should also call our agency.

The main purpose of the $20,000 Utah body shop bond is to protect consumers from any fraud, and willful criminal activity committed by a licensed body shop in the course of business.

All Utah body shops, no matter when a license is issued, have a renewal date of June 30th of each year. The Utah body shop bond should be issued so as to run concurrent with your license and so there are no gaps in bond coverage.
A lapse in coverage could result in suspension by the state of Utah.
