What is an Alabama automotive dismantler and parts recycler bond? 

Code of Alabama 1975 Section 40-12-398 requires individuals file a $50,000 surety bond before being licensed as an automobile dismantler or parts recycler. Bond Form MVT 4-3 is officially titled the “Motor Vehicle Surety Bond” and is also used to fulfill the state's surety bond requirements for individuals licensed as a new motor vehicle dealer, used motor vehicle dealer, motor vehicle rebuilder, motor vehicle wholesaler, master dealer, designated agent, title service provider, motor vehicle wholesale auction, manufacturer, or boat dealer.  

Regardless of the exact license type, this bond requires the state's motor vehicle industry licensees follow all Code of Alabama laws that regulate their business. Dismantlers and recyclers are specifically required to comply with any contract regarding the sale or exchange of vehicle parts. This bond protects the state and consumers from losses resulting from a dismantler or recycler's noncompliance.

Why is the Alabama automotive dismantler bond required?

By filing a motor vehicle surety bond, a dismantler or recycler agrees to perform their professional obligations and run their business according to the Code of Alabama. If they fail to do so, the issuing surety company will pay valid claims up to the full $50,000 bond amount to any harmed party that has recovered a judgment for a loss resulting from the dismantler or recycler's violation. The bonded licensee must reimburse the surety company in full for any claims paid.
