DMV-licensed facilities in Onondaga County

The Department of Motor Vehicles holds 1,507 current licences in Onondaga County — 3.7% of the state’s total, across 19 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. Onondaga County has 280 of them.

The county also holds 5 dealer inspection stations and 14 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 434 of the 874 facilities licensed in Onondaga County carry more than one — 49.7%. 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.
