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.

    First time going for rust check - got tired of dealing with the place down the road that begins with a Z. Nice people, well informed, and quickly done! Went through everything with me to make sure I know do's and don't's. … More

    Anyone needing collision repair on their vehicle should take it to Rudy Schmid’s.
    This shop does repair the right way, no shortcuts. Quality people & quality work can be hard to find these days, but not at Rudy Schmidt’s.

    … More is also not afraid to challenge insurance company low-ball estimates, to provides customers a correct repair job.
    P.S. my entire interior was expertly detailed, and looked amazing when we picked it up. Impressive!

    I went to my regular and trusted mechanic, Jim Chrysler - Chrysler's Treasure, for an odd rhythmic wub wub wub noise my 2018 Subaru Outback was making as I drove down the road. Jim put it up on a lift to see what might be going on, … More he pointed out that the tires had "cupping" wear and recommended I take it to Rudy Schmid for a 4 wheel alignment. Well I drove in with that problem but drove home silent, straight and true.
    Two thumbs up! Highly recommend Rudy Schmid's car service.

    Car looks new. It was ready ahead of schedule and unexpectedly, they cleaned it inside and out. Haven’t had any problems since. Great customer service.
