in effect257.1313b. Display of current and valid certificate; name and certification number to be affixed to statement of repairs; compliance with accepted motor vehicle repair industry standards; violation of subsection (3).
Sec. 13b.
(1) A certified specialty or master mechanic shall display, in a conspicuous location in the motor vehicle repair facility where the certified specialty or master mechanic is employed or engaged to perform repairs, a current and valid certificate issued by the administrator. A certified specialty or master mechanic who works at an auxiliary facility does not need to display in the auxiliary facility a current and valid certificate issued by the administrator.
(2) If a certified mechanic works on, inspects and approves, or supervises a repair, the certified mechanic shall affix the certified mechanic's name and certification number, as assigned by the administrator, to the written statement of repairs given to the customer under section 34.
(3) A certified specialty or master mechanic or mechanic trainee shall not depart from, or disregard in any material respect, accepted motor vehicle repair industry standards. Compliance with published vehicle manufacturer, parts manufacturer, equipment manufacturer, or recognized aftermarket repair manual specifications creates a presumption that the mechanic or mechanic trainee has followed accepted motor vehicle repair industry standards.
(4) If the administrator, after notice and a hearing, determines that a specialty or master mechanic or mechanic trainee has violated subsection (3), the administrator may, under section 21, require that the specialty or master mechanic or mechanic trainee do both of the following:
(a) Successfully complete a designated training course or program as a prerequisite to continued certification.
(b) Perform only specific motor vehicle repairs or repair procedures identified by the administrator until the training course or program described in subdivision (a) is completed.
