Vehicles less than two model years old or more than 25 model years old are exempt from the emissions part. Details are on the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles site. Repair shops must be registered with the DMV and must give a written estimate if asked. They cannot charge more than the estimate or do any work without permission, and customers can get replaced parts back if they ask in writing before work starts. Read the rule.

Pre-Purchase Inspections in Jamaica

Buying a used car in Jamaica? PPI Auto, our sister company, sends an inspector to the car for $225 on most cars, pickups and SUVs. That is a 122 point check with a full scan and a road test, and the report comes back the same day. Dealer lot, private seller or auction, it works the same.

New York requires inspections, but a passed sticker only means the car met the minimum on that day. It says nothing about the transmission, the frame or a leak that starts next month.
