60thby size in this category

The largest concentration is in Penn Yan: 12 of 23 (52%). Other cities covered include Dundee (3), Dresden (2), Rushville (2), Branchport (1), Lakemont (1), and 2 more.

Of the 23 entries here whose register publishes license dates, 17 have a license that has not expired and 6 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 23 entries with a recorded first-issue date, the median has held a license for 21 years. The longest-standing is Branchport Automotive, first licensed in May 1981, 45 years ago.

The most recent renewal recorded here is July 2026. 3 unexpired licenses run out within the next 90 days, so check the date on the card before booking.

All 23 hold the same class of license: Public Inspection Station, in the source's own wording.

22 of the 23 (96%) 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 (23), Repair Shop (22), Used Car Dealer (8), Boat Dealer (1), Yacht Broker (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.

1 of the 23 entry 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 1 of those is 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.

Yates County ranks 60th of the 61 counties covered in this category, holding 0% of the listings.

For a wider choice, the largest counties in this category are Suffolk County (1018), Nassau County (906), Erie County (716), Queens County (696). 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."

What the rules require

Yates County: questions

Which cities in Yates County have stations?
By count: Penn Yan (12), Dundee (3), Dresden (2), Rushville (2), Branchport (1), Lakemont (1), Middlesex (1), Rockstream (1). Addresses, license class and, where the register publishes them, license dates are in the list above.
How many of these stations are still licensed?
17 of the 23 whose register publishes dates hold a license that has not expired, and 6 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 23 with a recorded first-issue date the median is 21 years, and the longest is 45 years: Branchport Automotive, first licensed in May 1981.
Why does one address hold several licenses?
Because a row in the state register is a license, not a business. 22 of the 23 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 23 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?
1 of these 23 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.
