New Car Dealer

The New York DMV holds 1,035 current licences of this kind — 2.6% of every DMV facility licence in the state, under the code DLN.

What it allows

A new car dealer is a franchised new-vehicle dealership. The count also includes fewer than 20 Qualified Car Dealers, who may sell new cars without a manufacturer franchise because they pre-dated the Franchised Motor Vehicle Dealer Act and were grandfathered in.

The code on the Department’s record is DLN. 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 1,035 facilities holding a new car dealer 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.
