Yeah, this way you don’t have to go to the insurance office. You can do everything by phone/fax/email if you’re busy.
I don’t think it matters for type of coverage since I don’t have full coverage with Geico but still had to get the photo inspection done.
Schmitts did mine for me the one year.

The dealership has nothing to do with your insurance…
It seriously takes 5 min at Schmitts…
Maybe if its an expensive car or you have theft and fire? I have liability on my 99 escalade and they didnt take any pictures, but my Trans Am WS6 they took pictures, i have everything on my Trans Am.
It’s just a 91 Tercel, definitely not expensive and I don’t have theft or fire. I guess I don’t really know how they determine why they need to have a photo inspection done :gotme:
if you have anything other than liability you need a photo inspection, jesus christ this is pathetic.
i was going to just post google it, but instead i will give step by step directions with results. maybe this should be a sticky in DIY?!?! If you feel it is needed as a sticky let me know i’ll make it happen.
ITEMS YOU MAY NEED: A computer, a car, a valid NYS insurance card for said car
ITEMS YOU CLEARLY WILL NOT NEED: A brain
step 1: open web browser
step 2: navigate to www.google.com
step 3: type in nys photo inspection locations
step 4: if you’re feeling like rolling the dice, hit i’m feeling lucky, or just go with your standard search if you don’t feel so adventuresome and pick the first result.
step 5: type in your zip code
step 6: select your language
step 7: hit search
step 8: pick a location
step 9: drive to the location
step 10: exit the vehicle
step 11: walk inside the establishment
step 12: explain you would like a NYS PHOTO INSPECTION
step 13: follow the directions of the employee (keep in mind there should not be anything sexual involved. if they pressure you for anything you should probably go back to your vehicle and return to step 1 and start over, DO NOT PICK THE SAME LOCATION in step 8!!!)
if they made you or your spouse take off clothes, or there was Nigerian princes involved, you likely got scammed.
u only need a picture if its full coverage
they just take a pic of the car and inside of the doorjam on the drivers side
my insurance company walked outside, and took a picture of it, seeing as i drove the car to the office (after it was reg with temp ins. duh)
your insurance company sounds lazy as fuck
no, every used car with collision/comp gets a photo inspection it has nothing to do with his insurance company being lazy.
orly?
what the fuck are you talking about, those two quotes are seemingly completely unrelated.
edit: unless you are suggesting that the insurance company should drive to his house ? but i’m pretty sure in fact you’re not and i just need to hate you
:picard:
:spank:
YES BECAUSE YOU DROVE IT TO THEM, THEREFORE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HIS INSURANCE COMPANY BEING LAZY - AND YES I HATE YOU
EDIT: DID YOU REALLY NEED TO MAKE TWO SEPARATE POSTS ALSO?
chino answered this very effectively, and therefore done.
