The answer

Muslims residing in non-Islamic countries must abide by the laws of those countries unless they contradict a religious text, because their residency is based on respecting these laws. Accordingly, it is not permissible for a Muslim young man to open a car repair shop without a license if that is a requirement, unless he works from his home without violating the law. It is not permissible to have your car repaired by this person if he is in violation of the applicable laws, because that would be assisting him in falsehood. However, it is permissible to have your car repaired by him if he is free from violating the law.
