Vehicle Inspection Stations in New Jersey

The largest concentration is in Newark: 21 of 890 (2%). Other cities covered include Elizabeth (20), Paterson (14), Toms River (13), Clifton (10), Vineland (9), and 403 more.

By county, the 890 entries fall across 21 counties; the largest are Bergen (123), Union (81), Morris (71), Essex (70). County here is resolved by locating each address inside the official county boundary rather than trusting the register's own county column, which is wrong on a small number of rows.

These 890 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 August 27, 2026. No issue, renewal or expiry date is shown for them, and none is guessed.

The license classes represented here are Private Inspection Facility - Auto Only (643), Private Inspection Facility - Diesel Only (123), Private Inspection Facility - Auto and Diesel (97), State Inspection Facility - Auto Only (24), State Specialty Inspection Facility - Auto Only (3). The class is the source's own wording, not a label applied here.

220 of the 890 are recorded by the state as diesel-capable, which is the subset that matters for a heavy commercial vehicle. This is only shown where a register states it outright; where a register has no such column, no diesel claim is made about its entries either way.

863 of 890 publish a phone number. Phone numbers are normalized to one format here; the registers publish them several different ways.

The New Jersey register publishes a phone number but no website, so no New Jersey listing here shows a website.

872 of the 890 map positions come straight from the register and 6 were derived from the published 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.

12 of the 890 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 12 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.

New Jersey ranks 8th of the 27 states covered in this category, holding 1% of the listings, ahead of 19 others.

For a wider choice, the largest states in this category are Pennsylvania (32354), New York (10438), California (5974). They are ordered by how many entries each holds, not by how close they are.
