MVC Inspection Center

TIP: If your car is less than 5 years old and you get a green/​yellow card, DO NOT wait in the long car line, simply go through the gate, go all the way to the right, bypass the facility, and pull into the parking lot where the office is, and go into the office. They give you your inspection sticker in like 1 minute, and you are out of there. This applies if you are an out of stater coming into NJ and registering your car with a car less than 5 years old. Don’t wait in the long line simply to get to the front and be told by the guy to go to the office, like a putz, like me.
The line is pretty much always long, but it moves fast, and if you know you are going to fail, you get another grace period temporary pass, so just go.

This inspection station is the Best! There customer service is top notch and inspection service is extremely fast — *** if you go at the right time folks.
Therefore lemme repeat this, timing is everything. Don’t wait last minute to get your inspections completed. If you want to be down with the speedy and happy serviced crew then avoid inspections towards the end of month.
Last tip… Be social and talk to the staff. They are awesome and funny in my opinion. Enjoy folks!

Was very quick and that’s all I can ask in an inspection is that I can do it during my lunch break without being late getting back. I was the first car waiting to go into an official lane and the inspection itself went smoothly, so I accomplished that task in no time.

After getting my NJ license and vehicle registration the next step would be for the car to pass emission testing. Coming from NY and also Georgia in the past I was no stranger to emission testing. However I was surprised that NJ operated state ran test facilities and that they’re free unlike NY where they’re all private ran businesses.
Luckily this location was only about 15 min drive away so on a Saturday morning decided to get it over with and get my stickers. I arrived about 8:20AM and already were at least 4 – 5 cars in front of me. However they do have multiple stations separated out by vehicle years once they direct you into the stations. Being that I drive a pretty old crappy car my designated line had only another person in front of me: D
The process was very quick and efficient I was in and out of the place with a new sticker in about 15 min. The guys running the test were pretty friendly and nice enough to remove my old stickers with the tool that I was trying so hard to peel with my hands.
Lastly, they need to see proof of insurance as well as registration and your license of course. So don’t forget the paper work and I think you’ll have a quick time too if you can come in early.
