Find a DMV-Regulated Business

DMV has developed a tool that allows you to search by facility type and location to find DMV-regulated businesses near you. Use this service to find

• inspection stations (safety and emissions)
• automobile and truck dealers, boat dealers and yacht brokers
• repair shops, body repair shops and mobile repair shops
• dismantlers and other businesses that process vehicles for scrap or parts

The service does not provide information about

• vehicle transporters
• ATV dealers
• drive-in appraisals
• MV-907A eligible businesses
• fleet inspection stations or dealer inspection stations
• any business that does not have a current and valid registration or license
• businesses that are not licensed, registered or regulated by the New York State DMV Office of Vehicle Safety and Clean Air (such as driving schools, pre-licensing course providers, or Point and Insurance Reduction Program providers)

To search for a group of businesses by ZIP Code or county, you must know

• the type of business you want to find
• the ZIP Code or county where you want to search
• if the business is a motor vehicle inspection station, information about the vehicle to be inspected. You can get the required information from the vehicle registration document. See a sample vehicle registration document.

To find a specific business, enter the 7-digit Facility Number of the business.

The service will display the following information related to the business or businesses you searched

• facility number
• street address, city, state and ZIP Code of the business
• type or types of business, and a link to descriptions of the business types
   

Find a DMV regulated business

If your vehicle is located in a county different from the county of registration, the service may show that there are no inspection stations available for your vehicle type. This occurs when a vehicle that is or will be registered in the New York Metropolitan Area (NYMA) requires a diesel emissions inspection, but is in a county where the diesel emissions inspection is not available.

You can get a Temporary Certificate of Inspection Waiver. This temporary certificate allows you to get a safety inspection in the county where the vehicle is located. You are then required to get a diesel emissions inspection and sticker within 10 days after the vehicle returns to the NYMA. You can get the waiver form from a local DMV office.

To locate diesel emissions inspection stations in your current county, enter the current county as the county of registration.
