What is a New York State Vehicle Inspection?
New York State requires most vehicles to pass an annual safety inspection and emissions test to ensure they meet roadworthiness and environmental standards. These inspections must be conducted by a certified station, such as Paragon Honda in Queens. Our trained technicians are authorized to inspect all makes and models, not just Hondas.
The safety inspection covers critical areas including:
- Brakes
- Tires
- Lights
- Windshield wipers
- Steering and suspension
- Seat belts and more
Emissions testing is also conducted to monitor and reduce pollution levels. Failing to get your vehicle inspected on time can result in fines and registration suspension.
