DMV CUSTOMER PHONE NUMBER

NYVIP MESSAGE No. 18 (2007)

4/13/2007

TO: All INSPECTION STATIONS

FROM: NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES

SUBJECT: DMV CUSTOMER SERVICE PHONE NUMBER

The inspection receipt printed by the NYVIP machine includes a phone number to call DMV if the motorist has any questions. This number is printed at the bottom of the receipt, under the heading “VEHICLE INSPECTION QUESTIONS”.

DMV has found that some machines may be printing the wrong phone number, and motorists would not be able to call for assistance. SGS Testcom has developed a correction for the problem, and this will be downloaded to all NYVIP machines, beginning on April 16, 2007. This download will be spread out over several days, and you may not get the download until later in the week. The download will take place after a data refresh or at the end of an inspection.

When your NYVIP machine is scheduled for the download, it will display a message “Please wait while new files are downloaded.” The download can take several minutes, depending on connection speed. Please do not turn off the NYVIP unit or disconnect the phone line during the download. If the download is not successful, it will attempt to run the download each time the machine connects to Testcom. After a successful download, the NYVIP unit will automatically reboot.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience this update my cause you. It is of utmost importance to us that our customers have the correct DMV phone number in order to contact us for assistance. If you have any questions or problems, please call the SGS Testcom Help Desk a
