Dismantler

The New York DMV holds 400 current licences of this kind — 1.0% of every DMV facility licence in the state, under the code DIS.

What it allows

A dismantler is a facility taking vehicles apart for parts — the licence behind what most people call a salvage yard.

The code on the Department’s record is DIS. Codes matter here more than they usually do, because three of them are inspection stations and only one of the three serves the public. The difference, in plain words.

Where they are

What these facilities also do

A DMV facility number can carry several licences at once, and 0 of the 400 facilities holding a dismantler licence carry more than one — 0.0%. 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.
