They are the industrial establishments in which operations are carried out to restore the normal operating conditions of the vehicle or of its equipment and components, in which changes in their conditions are revealed after the end of its manufacture.


These are classified according to the relationship with the vehicle manufacturer, distinguishing between GENERIC or INDEPENDENT WORKSHOPS, the limes are not linked to any brand; and OFFICIAL BRAND WORKSHOPS, which are linked to a specific manufacturer.


It can also be classified, according to the branch of activity to which they are engaged, in mechanical workshops, when it comes to repairing or replacing the mechanical system of the vehicle; electricity-electronics, in the case of repair or replacement work on the electrical-electronic equipment of the automobile; bodywork, in the case of the repair or replacement of bodywork elements on the carrier, saddlery and interior and exterior conditioning thereof; of paint, when they carry out painting, coating and finishing of car bodies.


The legally classified workshops must hang on the facade of the building and visibly display the corresponding distinctive plate, which in the upper part must include the four branches of activities; in the intermediate one refers to the specialties; and in the lower one, reference is made to the initials of the province where the workshop is located, the contrast, and the no. identification of the workshop assigned by the CA.
