be licensed and required to have adequate insurance coverage in force as set out in
this chapter for the protection and welfare of the public. The provisions of this
chapter shall not apply to a wrecker service located outside the area of the metropolitan

commission; or unless the wrecker service consists of any of the owners or partners,
