A recent ranking shows the number of auto repair shops in various states. California has the highest number, with 20,998 shops, but ranks 24th when considering its large population. Wyoming, on the other hand, has the fewest shops, with 494 establishments, but ranks first due to its small population.

Texas has 14,614 auto repair shops, which is the second-highest number, but it ranks 42nd when population is taken into account. Other states, such as Mississippi and Arizona, fall somewhere in between.
