About this data

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

12in the directory

9license unexpired

3license lapsed

24ymedian years licensed

199thby size in this category

Rensselaer, New York has 12 stations, which is 0% of everything listed for New York.

All of them sit in Rensselaer County.

Of the 12 entries here whose register publishes license dates, 9 have a license that has not expired and 3 have one that has lapsed. That split is computed from the expiry date each register publishes, rather than taken from any status the register may print.

A lapsed record is kept on the page rather than hidden, because a reader ringing round is better served knowing which is which. Every card says plainly which state it is in.

Across the 12 entries with a recorded first-issue date, the median has held a license for 24 years. The longest-standing is Maleks Automotive Service INC, first licensed in August 1981, 45 years ago.

The most recent renewal recorded here is June 2026.

All 12 hold the same class of license: Public Inspection Station, in the source's own wording.

12 of the 12 (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 Public Inspection Station (12), Repair Shop (12), Used Car Dealer (2), New Car Dealer (1).

The New York register has no phone or website column, so no New York listing here shows either. That is how the state publishes the file, not a gap in this record. Street address, county, license class and license dates are what the state does publish, and they are all here.

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.

Rensselaer, New York ranks 199th of the 1425 cities covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings, ahead of 1226 others.

For a wider choice, the largest cities in this category are Brooklyn (503), Rochester (379), Bronx (306), Buffalo (201). They are ordered by how many entries each holds, not by how close they are.

Every record on this page comes from Facilities Licensed by the Department of Motor Vehicles, published by New York State Department of Motor Vehicles on data.ny.gov as dataset nhjr-rpi2. Each card carries the date the record was last re-checked. The publisher notes: "Facilities expired less than 6 years are included in the data set."

Rensselaer: questions

Where can I find stations in Rensselaer, NY?

12 stations in Rensselaer are on the official list: Heims Auto Care INC at 458 N Greenbush Rd; Cooley Motors Corp at 401 N Greenbush Rd; Hi Tech Automotive INC at 3 Second Ave, and 9 more listed above.

What is the nearest option outside Rensselaer?

A&K Auto in East Greenbush, about 1.4 miles away in a straight line. Open the listing for directions.

How many stations are there in Rensselaer county?

130 in Rensselaer county and 10,438 across New York.

How many of these stations are still licensed?

9 of the 12 whose register publishes dates hold a license that has not expired, and 3 have one that has lapsed. The official register lists live and lapsed records together; the split here is computed from the expiry date it publishes.

How long have they held their licenses?

Across the 12 with a recorded first-issue date the median is 24 years, and the longest is 45 years: Maleks Automotive Service INC, first licensed in August 1981.

Why does one address hold several licenses?

Because a row in the state register is a license, not a business. 12 of the 12 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.

Which of these handle diesel or heavy commercial vehicles?

The register behind this page has no diesel or heavy-duty value in its license type column, so this directory does not label any of these entries diesel-capable. Inferring it from a business name would be a guess dressed up as data. Ask the facility directly.

Why do the cards not show star ratings?

No public rating has been matched to any of these 12 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.

Report a correction

A listing closed, moved or missing? It gets checked against the source

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.
