Can I pass with the Check Engine Light on?

No. The MIL/CEL must be off and readiness monitors must be set within NYS limits.

My monitors aren’t ready—what does that mean?

Your vehicle's self-tests haven't completed yet following a code clear or battery disconnect. Normal driving helps set monitors; we’ll advise the best approach.

Do hybrids, EVs, diesel, or classic vehicles follow the same rules?

Requirements vary by fuel type, model year, and vehicle class. We'll confirm the correct procedure for your VIN.

Can you fix issues the same day?

Often yes—depending on parts availability and scope. We'll quote options and keep you updated.

Do you send inspection reminders?

Yes—ask us to add you to annual NYSI reminders so you don't miss renewal.
