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.

    Definitely recommend to everyone! I am an independent contractor and my car was in desperate need of a lower ball joint and control arm. I called on a Monday and they set my appointment up for 2 days away! They communicated well with me … More and understand my needs! Thank you Rudy's for taking care of my car! You've earned a lifelong client with me and I recommend everyone to this business as they are also very affordable!

    I got my Rust Check refreshed, after 1 year. The rust proofing, though it's initially kind of fragrant, is very thorough. I feel confident driving through Syracuse winters since purchasing this product. I appreciate Rudy Schmidt, and … More their capable technicians, and would recommend them to anyone looking for rust prevention for their vehicle.

    I will continue to go to Rudy Schmid for Rust Check. They are professional, friendly, and efficient. I have been there twice so far and both experiences have been good.

    I have used the Schmid family for 25+ years. I would call Dianne and P.J. "business friends". Weather in the frame shop, body shop, or rust prevention, they have always been stellar in their trade. They are professional, courteous, … More attentive, and responsive,... which most shops struggle with today.
    I highly recommend anyone to call the Schmid family for any type of autobody, frame, and general maintenance/service. If it's something not in their expertise they will direct you to someone who is. You are in good hands when "Schmid happens."
