NEW YORK STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS:

  • Motor vehicles are required, by law, to be in safe operating condition whenever they are driven on a public street or roadway in New York State.
  • Each vehicle registered in New York State must be inspected at least every 12 months. The inspection must be done before the expiration date of the current inspection sticker, and whenever the vehicle becomes registered in a different name.
  • When a vehicle inspection is requested, an inspection station must inspect any vehicle it is licensed to inspect or must provide, in writing, an appointment date that is within eight working days. If an appointment is made, the station may require a deposit that cannot exceed the inspection fee.
  • The inspection must be done in a NYS licensed inspection station displaying an official sign, and must be performed by a certified motor vehicle inspector.
  • If your vehicle fails the safety and/or emissions inspection, the inspection station must have your permission before beginning any repairs. New York State Vehicle Inspection_Syracuse
  • You are not required to have your vehicle repaired or re-inspected at the NYS inspection station that performed the initial inspection. Your vehicle may be taken to any registered repair shop, or you may make the required repairs yourself. Your vehicle must then pass a new inspection, at an inspection station of your choice, before an inspection sticker will be issued.
  • It is a misdemeanor for an inspector to knowingly issue, or a motorist to knowingly accept, an inspection sticker unless a full and proper inspection has been performed.

    Brought my truck in to have some body work repaired. It was only 3 month old when someone backed into it. The original body shop didn't give me a good feeling on their ability to repair aluminum, so I brought it here for a 2nd opinion. … More And boy, I am SO glad I did.
    Rudy Schmid completed the repair in the time they stated and I can't even tell that there was ever damage to begin with! The body work makes it looks like factory and the paint is immaculate. Not only that, but they cleaned up the interior of the truck (which was an awesome bonus). They were prompt with communication and reached out with any updates they had along the way. Can't say enough good things here. I will definitely be coming back for anything I need that they provide a service for.

    Recently had body work done on my car due to being hit from a distracted driver. These guys know their stuff. Car look showroom new when done. (inside and out) They notice the small details!

    Great experience dealing with the staff, and a flawless repair after extensive damage caused by hitting a deer. Ron was great to deal with. They even provided a free loaner vehicle when the parts took longer than expected.

    What a wonderful family owned and run business! They took on a tough fix on a jeep gladiator that was given to me as a birthday present and I had only driven for a short 2 months before this accident. I can’t believe I have it back on the … More road! You always get to deal directly with the owners who's family have been in business 95 years… I had them undercoat it at my expense while it was in there and I am very pleased with that procedure. I will definitely use this shop in the future for any body work or preventative care. Their customer service was top notch!! Thank you!!!!
