WAC 308-63-090
Wreckers -- Records and procedures for monthly
reports.
What records must I keep and how do I handle the
monthly report? (1) Wrecker books and files. The wrecker shall
maintain books and files which shall contain the following:
(a) A record of each vehicle or part acquired giving:
(i) A description of the vehicle or part by make, model, year, and for major component parts, except core parts, the vehicle identification number and "yard number" assigned at the time the vehicle or major component part was placed in the wrecking yard;
(ii) The date purchased or acquired by the wrecker, and the name of the person, firm or corporation from which the vehicle or part was obtained;
(iii) The certificate of title number if registered in a
title state, or registration number if a nontitle state; or
description of the document used in lieu of title, such as an
affidavit of sale or a bill of sale for a vehicle or vehicle
part; ((and))
(iv) The name of the state and license number in the state that a vehicle was last registered; and
(v) A statement indicating whether any used car or truck at least six years but not more than twenty years old met the market value threshold amount immediately before it was wrecked, destroyed or damaged, as required by RCW 46.12.070 and WAC 308-56A-460(3). If this statement is not provided, the department will treat the report as if the wrecker indicated that the market value threshold was met when required.
(b) A record of the disposition of the motor, body, and major component parts giving the name of the person purchasing the part(s), if any. Sales to scrap processors shall be accompanied by an invoice or bill of sale, listing each vehicle by its yard number. The wrecker shall retain a copy of such invoice or bill of sale for purposes of inspection for three years.
These records will be subject to inspection by authorized representatives of the department and law enforcement officials during regular business hours. The foregoing information shall be entered in the wrecker's records within two business days of the event requiring the entry, such as receipt of a vehicle.
(2) Must furnish written reports. By the tenth of the month
following acquisition of vehicles entered into the wrecking yard
inventory, each wrecker will submit a report on the form
prescribed by the department documenting that those vehicles were
entered into the wrecking yard inventory during the month. Vehicles being held in the segregated storage area awaiting
ownership documents, pursuant to WAC 308-63-070(8), will not be
reported. The report shall be made in duplicate. The original
shall be sent to the department and the duplicate retained for
the wrecker's files. If no vehicles are acquired during the
month, the monthly report must be sent in stating "none." The
report shall give such information for vehicles only as the
wrecker is required to keep by subsection (1)(a)(i), (ii), (iii),
((and)) (iv), and (v) of this section((; it shall)). The report
must be accompanied by properly endorsed certificates of title or
other adequate evidence of ownership and registration
certificates: Provided, That records on acquisitions and sales
of vehicle parts need not be included in reports submitted to the
department but records shall be kept for three years from date of
purchase and available for inspection.
(3) Identity of vehicles in yard. All vehicles placed in the yard shall be identified by a yard number as assigned in the wrecking records with numerals marked so as to be clearly visible and legible. If a part of a vehicle is sold which has the number on it, the yard number of the vehicle shall be remarked in another location on the vehicle.
