DMV Phone Number Changes

NYVIP UNIT MESSAGE No. 37 (2009)

2/09/2009

TO: All INSPECTION STATIONS

FROM: NYS DEPT. OF MOTOR VEHICLES

SUBJECT: DMV Call Center Phone Number Changes


DMV is changing the phone numbers for the Call Centers for certain area codes. These phone numbers are printed on every Inspection Receipt to assist your customers.


Below are the changes:


Effective February 2, 2009:


Anyone dialing from area codes 315, 518, 585, 607, and 716 will call 518-486-9786 for assistance. This number replaces 1-800-225-5368 (1-800 CALL-DMV).



Effective February 9, 2009:


Anyone dialing from area codes 516, 631, 845, and 914 will call 718-477-4820 for assistance. This number replaces 1-800-342-5368 (1-800 DIAL-DMV).



Callers in area codes 212, 347, 646, 718, and 917 (New York City) will continue to use 212-645-5550 and 718-966-6155. These numbers are not affected.


DMV will revise the numbers printed on the Inspection Receipt with the next NYVIP software revision, but until then please be aware of and advise your customers of the changes. If you have questions about these changes, you may call Clean Air at 1-518-473-0597.



These are messages sent by NYS DMV to the inspection stations via the emissions analyzer units. They frequently contain important information, usage tips, or announcements of system changes.
