About this data

Where the list comes from and what it does and does not say

8in the directory

8in the state register

64thby size in this category

Salem, Massachusetts has 8 stations, which is 0% of everything listed for Massachusetts.

All of them sit in Essex County.

These 8 entries come from a register that publishes no license dates at all. For those, the only thing that can honestly be said is that the facility appeared in the state register when it was last refreshed, on September 23, 2026. No issue, renewal or expiry date is shown for them, and none is guessed.

The license classes represented here are Class A: passenger vehicles, minivans, pickups and SUVs up to 10,000 lbs GVWR (4), Class D: any passenger vehicle, commercial vehicle or trailer (2), Class B: commercial vehicles or trailers up to 26,000 lbs GVWR (1), Class M: motorcycles (1). The class is the source's own wording, not a label applied here.

7 of the 8 (88%) hold more than one class of license. Each is one entry here, with every class it holds shown in its record detail. Across this page the classes held include safety (8), emissions (7).

All 8 publish a phone number. Phone numbers are normalized to one format here; the registers publish them several different ways.

The map positions come from the register itself rather than from an address lookup. No distance claim is made anywhere in this text; the "nearest to me" list computes straight-line distances in your own browser from your own location.

Salem, Massachusetts ranks 64th of the 335 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 271 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Worcester (39), Brockton (26), Lowell (26), Framingham (25). They are ordered by how many entries each holds, not by how close they are.

Every record on this page comes from Inspection station locator, published by Massachusetts RMV and MassDEP (Massachusetts Vehicle Check) on mavehiclecheck.com as dataset GetLocations. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked.

Salem: questions

Where can I find stations in Salem, MA?

8 stations in Salem are on the official list: Bouchard & Son INC at 110 Jefferson Avenue; Canal St. Cycles LLC at 296 Canal Street; Canal Street Service INC at 290 Canal Street, and 5 more listed above. 8 of them publish a phone number.

What is the nearest option outside Salem?

Boyd Cycles in Peabody, about 1.4 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.

How many stations are there in Essex county?

180 in Essex county and 1,688 across Massachusetts.

Are these stations currently licensed?

The state register these records come from publishes no license dates, so the honest answer is narrower than it looks: each of these 8 facilities appeared in the register when it was last refreshed, on September 23, 2026. No expiry date is shown because none is published, and none is guessed. Confirm the current position with the facility or the issuing authority before relying on it.

Why does one address hold several licenses?

Because a row in the state register is a license, not a business. 7 of the 8 entries on this page hold more than one class at the same address, typically an inspection license alongside a repair or dealer license. They are merged into a single entry here, keyed on the facility rather than on the license, so one shop is one listing and its other classes appear on its own page.

Why do the cards not show star ratings?

No public rating has been matched to any of these 8 records, so no stars are shown. The license record is the stronger signal in any case: where the register publishes them, the issue date, last renewal, expiry and the state license number all come from the issuing authority, which is not true of a star average.

Something wrong on this page?

These records come from state registers and the registers are not perfect. If a listing is closed, has moved, or the license details do not match what the state told you, say so and it gets checked against the source.
