About this data

169thby size in this category

Stanley, North Carolina has 7 stations, which is 0% of everything listed for North Carolina.

These 7 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.

7 of the 7 (100%) 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 emissions (7), safety (7).

This list publishes no phone numbers, so no listing drawn from it shows one. That is how the source publishes it, not a gap in this record.

The map positions were derived from the published street address through the US Census Bureau geocoder. 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.

3 of the 7 entries could not be placed on a map: the register gives a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction rather than a street address, and 3 of those are currently on the register. They are listed and searchable here by name, city and county, and left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Guessing a plausible position for a PO box would be worse than admitting there is not one.

Stanley, North Carolina ranks 169th of the 583 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 414 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Charlotte (359), Raleigh (256), Greensboro (190), Durham (156). 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 North Carolina Division of Motor Vehicles on ncdot.gov as dataset dmv/emissions. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked.

Stanley: questions

Where can I find stations in Stanley, NC?

7 stations in Stanley are on the official list: Ballards Garage at 530 N Main St; Jones Exxon Service at 438 Highway 16 South; Norman Tire & Auto at 7654 Hwy 73, and 4 more listed above.

What is the nearest option outside Stanley?

Jerrys Auto Service in Mount Holly, about 3.4 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.

How many stations are there in Gaston county?

134 in Gaston county and 5,880 across North Carolina.

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 7 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 7 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 7 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.

Why are some entries missing from the map?

3 of these 7 records give a PO box, a bare route number or a road junction instead of a street address, so no coordinate could be derived for them. They are still listed and searchable by name, city and county, and they are left out of the map and the "nearest to me" results. Placing a PO box at a plausible-looking point would make the map look complete and be wrong.

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.
