Notes
Tennessee does not require a statewide license for individual auto mechanics. No state licensing board governs this occupation. Emissions inspection technicians in affected counties (Davidson, Hamilton, Rutherford, Sumner, Williamson, Wilson) must be certified, but general auto mechanics do not need an individual state license.
