NYS Inspection

[Tariq Abdullah]

Jim:
The inspection for 2006 was done by a shop I use when I'm at work. Unfortunately for you guys here, he's in Brooklyn, near Coney Island. The Inspection was done as a SAFTEY Inspection. All I know, is that I was done in about 10 minutes..

My yellow VIN sticker was placed in the engine compartment on the firewall below and to the right of the driver's wiper arm.
Jim....All I can relate is I had the same exact occurrence. The mechanic was afraid to go any further fearing consequence to the VIN record. Having my NYS DMV application file folder with me I asked the mechanic to wait a few minutes and called Tech Saftery Division's Tim Noonan in Albany. Lucky for me he was at his desk at the time ! Mr. Noonan advised the mechanic how to correctly input the data. The result was a clear go ahead with PCV Valve inspection as the only requirement. Can you call Albany's Tech Safety Division for more guidance ?

If it doesn't snow tomorrow, I will be driving my SPF to work and will have one of the guys do a NYS Inspection. I will document the process here, so others can take it with them in case their Inspector has a question on how to enter the VIN, ect. on the NYS DMV computer terminal for a "Custom" NYS Inspection.

It would be nice to be able to get a 'duplicate' VIN sticker and place it elsewhere (on the firewall), put I would be very surprised if that were possible.
