New York State Inspection in Glenville, NY
Fogg’s is Glenville’s NYS inspection station on Route 50 — three minutes from Town Hall. The state-regulated fee is $21 for most passenger vehicles, the test takes about 20–30 minutes, and we check that your check-engine light is off before we scan, so nobody pays for a fail.

USD$21–$21
state-regulated fee
New York sets the fee, not the shop: $10 for the safety inspection plus $11 for the OBD-II emissions test equals the $21 state maximum for most passenger vehicles in Schenectady County. Heavier vehicles and diesels over 8,500 lbs are on a different schedule — ask when you book. Any repairs needed to pass are quoted separately and approved by you first. Under NYS rules, a vehicle that fails may be re-inspected at the same station within 30 days with no additional inspection fee.
Usually while you wait; fleets batched by appointment
Glenville and Scotia drivers pass our Route 50 lot twice a day, which makes the annual inspection the easiest errand on the list: call from Glenridge Rd or Freemans Bridge Rd, and a bay is open when you pull in.
We run the full state protocol — brakes, steering and suspension, tires, lights, glass, wipers, horn, exhaust, and the OBD-II emissions scan for 1996-and-newer gas vehicles under 8,501 lbs — for the state-regulated $21.
What fails in Glenville is what the town’s roads produce: brake lines and exhaust hangers rusted by Route 50 brine, ball joints and tie rods knocked loose on Swaggertown Rd and Sunnyside Rd frost heaves, and worn front tires from the Glenridge Rd hill.
A lit check-engine light is an automatic emissions fail, so if yours is on we offer a diagnosis ($89–$149, credited to the repair) before the inspection rather than after.
Fleet units from the Scotia-Glenville Industrial Park and the Business & Technology Park are batched into their preventive visits with sticker dates tracked per vehicle.

Getting here from Glenville
You are already here. From Town Hall and the Glenridge Rd light, head south on Route 50 (Saratoga Rd) about a mile to the Fogg’s Automotive campus, before the village.
From Route 5 (Amsterdam Rd) in West Glenville, come east into Scotia and turn north onto Route 50 at Mohawk Ave. From the airport and the Scotia-Glenville Industrial Park, it is a few minutes down Route 50 — most Glenville customers are parked in three.

Questions
My Glenville inspection sticker expires this month and the check-engine light just came on — what do I do first?
Diagnose first. A lit light fails the OBD-II portion automatically, and clearing it without a repair leaves the monitors “not ready,” which also fails.
We are three minutes away: book the $89–$149 diagnostic (credited to the repair), fix the fault, then we inspect — usually all inside the same week.
How much is a NYS inspection in Schenectady County?
The state sets it: $21 for most passenger cars, SUVs, and light trucks — $10 for the safety inspection and $11 for the OBD-II emissions test. That is the maximum any station in Schenectady County may charge for a standard inspection.
Fees differ for heavier vehicles, motorcycles, and trailers, and the inspection fee does not include any repairs needed to pass.
Will my car fail the NYS inspection if the check engine light is on?
Yes. For 1996-and-newer gas vehicles under 8,501 lbs, a lit check engine light is an automatic emissions failure, and so are readiness monitors that show “not ready” after a battery disconnect or a recent code clear.
Fix the cause first — our diagnostic fee is $89–$149 and credits toward the repair — then drive 50–100 miles of mixed driving so the monitors complete, then inspect. We can handle the whole sequence in one account.
What happens if my vehicle fails the inspection?
You get a written list of exactly what failed, a measured quote at our published prices, and a choice. Nothing is repaired without your approval.
Under New York State rules you have 30 days to make the repairs and return to the same station for a re-inspection with no additional inspection fee.
Driving with an expired sticker past that window risks a ticket, so most people fix the failed items the same day.
Can you inspect my whole fleet at once?
Better than that — we spread it out so your routes never stop.
Fleet accounts get every unit’s expiration date tracked, inspections batched by month, and vehicles staged through the bays in groups: early drop-off, inspected and repaired the same day, out before the next shift.
With 27 bays and the fleet desk at (518) 348-7764, a dozen vans in a day is routine.
