A franchised dealer and a small independent garage fall under the same class. The legal form and a website as a mandatory field help to distinguish larger businesses. The legal form as a filter is only possible once the source provides that field; the current records have no legal form yet.

The SBI code does not say whether a business is a franchised dealer, which brands it sells or whether it carries out inspections. If you are looking for a specific group, combine the SBI subclass with your own check of the website, or request a custom selection. That is possible once the source provides the SBI code; the current records have no SBI code yet.
Many small garages are sole traders; you may only call them with their consent. Car businesses that are a bv can be called on business matters.
