How the numbers were counted

Source: Overture Maps Places (release 2026-10-21.0), matched to state license records where available (California BAR). Directory build: 2026-10-27.
Removed before counting: 7,670 places marked closed, 12,479 duplicates, 50,027 low-confidence places and 15,971 without a street address.
A business that offers several services is counted in each of its service types, so the service counts add up to more than the number of businesses.
Counts show listed businesses, not licenses. A state's official license register can differ: it includes inactive or mobile licenses and leaves out businesses that need no license.
Smog check and inspection stations outside California are undercounted: in many states, inspections are done at general repair shops, which are counted as auto repair here.
