CA AB2065

Removes tire repair and tire changing from the list of excluded minor services under the Automotive Repair Act, requiring persons performing these services to register as automotive repair dealers with the Bureau of Automotive Repair.

Excludes tire services provided by motor vehicle clubs holding specified certificates of authority or by tow truck operators possessing valid motor carrier permits from the definition of motor vehicle repair.

Applies the same tire service exclusions to the definition of "automotive technician" to maintain consistency.

Creates a state-mandated program by making failure to register as an automotive repair dealer when performing tire services a crime.

Specifies that no state reimbursement is required under Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the act only changes the definition and penalties for crimes.
