In recent years the increased complexity in automobile motors and accessories has created an aura of technical mystique as to the operation and repair of automobiles and a feeling of helplessness at the automotive repairmen. It has been the feeling of many consumers, legislators and nonmembers of the automotive repair trade itself, that as a result of the technical complexities involved in such repairs, there has been a large degree of consumer victimization in the form of overcharging, unnecessary repairs, and other similar acts and practices detrimental to the consumer and the industry as a whole. In order to study the need for legislation which might remedy this problem, the General Assembly enacted Senate Joint Resolution No. 89 directing the Administrator of Consumer Affairs to make a study and report on the advisability of enacting legislation for the certification and regulation of motor vehicle mechanics and repair shops.
