Due For A NYS Inspection? We'll Make It Easy

Every passenger vehicle registered in New York is required to pass an annual safety and emissions inspection. At Metric Motors in Holmes, NY, we make the process as simple as possible — no long waits, no upsells, no surprises. Just a thorough, DMV-certified inspection done by ASE-Certified technicians who've been serving Dutchess and Putnam County drivers for over 45 years.

If your inspection sticker is expiring this month (or last month, if you've been putting it off), bring your vehicle to us. We'll handle the paperwork, run the full inspection, and get you back on the road with a fresh sticker — usually the same day.


What the New York State Inspection Covers

New York State inspections include two parts: a safety inspection and an emissions inspection (which, for most vehicles, is done via OBD-II scan). Our technicians check:

  • Brake pads, rotors, lines, and parking brake

  • Steering components and suspension

  • Tires, including tread depth and condition

  • Exterior lights, turn signals, and brake lights

  • Windshield wipers and washer fluid operation

  • Windshield condition (cracks in the driver's line of sight are a fail)

  • Horn, seat belts, and mirrors

  • Fuel system and exhaust integrity

  • OBD-II readiness and stored emissions codes

  • Check engine light status (an illuminated MIL is an automatic fail)

If your vehicle passes, you'll get a new inspection sticker on your windshield valid for 12 months. If something doesn't pass, we'll show you exactly what failed, explain your options, and give you a clear repair estimate before any work begins.

Why Some Vehicles Fail — and How We Help

The most common NYS inspection failures are surprisingly predictable: illuminated check engine lights, worn brake pads, low tire tread, and broken windshield wipers.

Because we're a full-service auto repair shop — not just an inspection station — we can handle inspection-related repairs on domestic and European vehicles alike. That means no bouncing between shops. No second appointment. No losing your place in line.
