State Inspection

State Inspections for Motor vehicles and Diesel

Is it Time for Your NYS Inspection?

A New York state inspection is required annually for all registered vehicles and when there is a transfer of ownership. To renew your registration, your vehicle must pass the state inspection. For this reason, it's important to stay on top of your expiration date and practice regular maintenance.

New York requires you to get a state safety inspection at a DMV-licensed inspection station.

Harbor View Service Center is a licensed New York state inspection station serving Long Island, Cold Spring Harbor, and surrounding areas. To schedule your appointment and get answers to any questions you have about safety inspection or emissions inspection process

Most vehicles must also undergo an emissions inspection at the same time as the safety inspection in order to qualify for registration. An emissions inspection consists of engine diagnostics and other troubleshooting to ensure your vehicle is within the required emissions range for New York.

How Can I Prepare for the NYS Inspection?

Preparing for a New York inspection can be made easier by incorporating preventive maintenance practices into your routine throughout the year.

When you take proactive steps to maintain your car, you can alleviate the stress and uncertainty of whether it will pass both the New York safety inspection and emissions inspection, ultimately making the entire process smoother and more convenient for you.
