What Broadway Servicenter Checks During a NYS Inspection

As a registered New York State inspection station, Broadway Servicenter performs both the safety and emissions components of the annual inspection. The safety inspection checks your braking system (pad thickness, rotor condition, parking brake), steering and suspension components, tires (tread depth and inflation), all exterior lights, horn, windshield wipers and washers, mirrors, and the structural integrity of the body and frame. For 1996 and newer vehicles, the emissions component reads your OBD-II system for active or pending fault codes and confirms the system is ready for testing.

The most common reasons vehicles fail NYS inspection are worn brake pads or failing emissions readiness monitors. If your check engine light is on, your vehicle will fail the emissions test. If you know you have an outstanding check engine light, call us at (516) 681-0122 before your inspection. We can diagnose the issue, complete the necessary engine repair, and in many cases get you inspected and out the door the same day. Similarly, if you suspect your brakes are marginal, we offer a free brake inspection before the formal test.

Many drivers reset their check engine light hoping it will not return before inspection. The OBD-II readiness monitors take 50 to 200 miles of driving to complete after a reset. If the monitors are not complete, the vehicle will fail. There is no shortcut. If your vehicle failed inspection elsewhere and you want a second opinion on the required repairs, bring it to us. We will give you an honest assessment and a fair quote with no pressure.

FAQ
NYS Inspections & Emissions FAQ
What does the NYS vehicle inspection cover?
The New York State vehicle inspection covers two areas: safety and emissions. The safety inspection checks your brakes, steering, suspension, tires, lights, windshield, wipers, and horn. The emissions inspection (for 1996 and newer vehicles) scans your OBD-II system for active fault codes and confirms your vehicle meets NY emissions standards.
How long does a NYS inspection take?
Most inspections are completed within 30 to 45 minutes. Walk-ins are always welcome Monday through Saturday at Broadway Servicenter in Garden City, NY.
What happens if my car fails inspection?
If your vehicle does not pass, we will give you a written list of what needs to be repaired. You receive a 60-day inspection rejection sticker that allows you to legally drive to get the repairs done. In many cases we can make the repairs on the same day and get you reinspected immediately.
Do I need an appointment for a NYS inspection?
No appointment is needed for most inspections at Broadway Servicenter in Garden City. Walk-ins are welcome Monday through Saturday. Calling ahead helps us minimize your wait time, especially on busy weekday mornings and Saturday.
