Notes
Illinois does not require a statewide license for individual auto mechanics. The Illinois Vehicle Service Regulation Act governs repair shops but does not mandate individual mechanic licensing. Emissions inspection technicians in the Chicago and Metro East areas must be certified through the Illinois EPA, but general mechanics do not need a state license.
