New York State Inspection is made up of two categories, a safety check and emissions check. There are some things you should remember to check and things to know prior to getting your car inspected. The inspection is graded on a pass or fail scale. You are charged for the inspection regardless of whether you pass or fail. In the state of New York, most things that make you a danger to other people on the road will cause you to fail the safety portion of your inspection.
Some of these things can be obvious. First things first. If your check engine light is on — that needs to be addressed before any inspection can be done.
The computer tells all. Your car has at least eight self-diagnostic monitors that are checked during the emissions portion of NYS inspection. The general reason why a car will fail inspection for the above reason is that the monitors are not ready to be inspected. Changing your battery erases the information on all the monitors, same with the car battery dying. Short Answer: Valvoline does state inspections at some but not all of its service locations.
Make an appointment for an inspection today at one of our licensed inspection stations. You can get your inspection done up to 90 days before the final deadline. A good rule of thumb is that you can get it done any time not only in the calendar month in which it is due, but also in the two calendar months prior.
So if your vehicle is due for inspection in July, you can get it done as early as May. You should not drive a vehicle that failed its safety inspection and has not yet been repaired. After you get safety defects fixed, your Certificate of Rejection allows you to operate your vehicle for up to 60 days, while arranging for re-inspection.
The rejection sticker places no travel restriction on the operation of the vehicle and is issued in lieu of an approval sticker. The vehicle operator is legally responsible for any defect if operated on the highway and may be subject to a traffic summons for any existing equipment violation. All vehicles registered in New York State must get a safety inspection and an emissions inspection every 12 months.
Both inspections are also required when the ownership of a vehicle is transferred. Both inspections are done at the same time by a DMV-certified inspector at privately-owned inspection stations licensed by DMV. The DMV must have a record that your vehicle passed an emissions inspection during the previous year or you will not be able to renew your motor vehicle registration.
It is mandatory for all the vehicles registered in the New York state to get a safety inspection done at any DMV licensed inspection station. You need to make sure you have a valid NY inspection sticker displayed on your motor vehicle.
The inspection sticker has an expiration date, which is the last day of the month that was punched on the sticker. If your vehicle fails the safety and emissions inspection, you should get your motor vehicle inspected again to receive an inspection sticker. But the inspection station will require your consent before they begin the re-inspection. There is no obligation to take your motor vehicle for repairs to the station that carried out the initial inspection after your car fails inspection.
You can have your motor vehicle repaired or re-inspected at any licensed repair shop or you can do the necessary repairs yourself. And before you get an inspection sticker, your vehicle must pass a new inspection at the inspection station you chose. The fine for an expired inspection sticker in the state of New York depends on how long the sticker has been expired. Once you are ticketed for the expired inspection sticker, you're basically being warned to get a new inspection sticker or to continue to be ticketed for driving without one or parking on public streets if you do not.
It is illegal and against the law to have fictitious inspection stickers displayed on your vehicle.
