The statement shall constitute proof to the lienholder or lessor that all repairs have been made by an auto body repair facility. A color photograph of the repaired vehicle shall accompany the statement. b. In the event that any lienholder or lessor should wish to inspect any motor vehicle to which repairs have been made as provided in subsection a. of this section, the lienholder or lessor shall conduct the inspection upon the premises of the auto body repair facility within three business days after receipt of the notice by certified mail that the repair has been completed.
