What counts as auto repair shops here
General automotive repair: engine, transmission, brake and electrical work on cars and light trucks. Body shops, oil-change chains and glass are counted separately. The code is NAICS 811111. BLS counts establishments that report payroll, so a one-person business with no employees is not in these figures; in trades with many solo operators the true number of businesses is higher.
