DMV-licensed facilities in Erie County

The Department of Motor Vehicles holds 2,802 current licences in Erie County — 6.9% of the state’s total, across 21 different kinds of licence.

Where you can get the annual inspection

New York requires a safety and emissions inspection every year, and only a Public Inspection Station may carry it out on a vehicle you bring in. Erie County has 554 of them.

The county also holds 16 dealer inspection stations and 18 fleet inspection stations. Those two are not open to the public: one inspects the vehicles the dealer sells, the other an operator’s own fleet. The distinction is invisible on a shopfront and decisive when you turn up. How to tell them apart.

What the Department licenses here

What these facilities also do

A DMV facility number can carry several licences at once, and 860 of the 1,547 facilities licensed in Erie County carry more than one — 55.6%. That is the part a one-licence-at-a-time lookup hides: the same garage may repair, inspect and sell, and each of those is a separate entry in the Department’s file.

Search any facility number on this site and you get all of its licences together, current and expired. The facilities that hold the most.
