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.

    Rudy Schmidt did body work on my car following an accident. They did an excellent job on my car and kept me informed of the status. Got my car back today and it looks like I just drove it off the car dealers lot. They even detailed it. … More I couldn't be more pleased with the people and the quality of the workmanship.

    Rudy Schmid did a great job repairing my car after someone rear-ended my Equinox. They are very informative and sent several text updates to keep me informed which was nice. Not only was their workmanship awesome, they were very charismatic … More and professional. I didn’t realize they also provide car maintenance as well, and I was totally impressed with the state of the art equipment they have. If I need future repairs this is where I’ll be taking my car no question. How refreshing to find a business today that makes you feel comfortable with a true sense that they genuinely care about their customers the way they do. I definitely recommend Rudy Schmid and give them five stars.

    I recently had front-end damage repaired. It looked great when completed. An added benefit was that the entire inside of my car was cleaned when we picked it up. They even cleaned my winter floor matts.
