Repair Shop

The New York DMV holds 13,539 current licences of this kind — 33.4% of every DMV facility licence in the state, under the code RS.

What it allows

A repair shop is the general licence to repair motor vehicles for the public. New York requires it: under the Motor Vehicle Repair Shop Registration Act, a shop may not even display the sign of an official repair shop without a currently valid registration.

The code on the Department’s record is RS. 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 13,539 facilities holding a repair shop 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.
