Florida raised the mandatory written repair-estimate threshold from $100 to $150

Florida Chapter 2024-137 amended section 559.905 so a motor vehicle repair shop must prepare the statutory written repair estimate when requested repair work will exceed $150 rather than the former $100 threshold. The same act also revised repair-shop registration application information and made registration fees apply per location. The changes took effect July 1, 2024.
