This may be in the wrong place, my bad. I went to the Amherst DMV today and they don’t test for Inspection Licenses at their location. The lady said the place is in Buffalo. She said a street that begins with the letter D. I could not understand her. Does anyone on here have their inspection licence? Is there any B.S I should expect? What kind of questions are on the inspection test? Thanks for any info ---

When I got mine I had to apply by mail and wait for a date/time/location to take the test. That was like 5-6 years ago so maybe it’s changed. You take a class and then they issue a test. ---

IDK what you guys are talking about. 1. Need a year worth of experience 2. Print form off DMV from above 3. Take at ECC in Orchard Park 4. Drink heavily before the exam to make it seem like it’s actually challenging, 20 questions from what I remember, takes about 5 min to finish 5. Take the Emissions portion at your shop off your own computer, that’s much trickier than the one at ECC 6. While you’re at ECC you might as well do the motorcycle one too for fun, also very easy, I have both ---

> [@travisn](#): > > They didn’t help you get it at school? I went to Alfred State for autobody and it was basically a requirement. At the time, BOCES didn’t offer it. I went to college in Ohio where they have no inspections, just an e check which is a joke. I’ve personally have seen cars held together with duct tape and 2X4’s.
