New York State DMV requires motor vehicle repair shops to be registered, which covers diesel repair facilities. While individual technician licensing is not explicitly required at the state level for general diesel repair, shops must be registered and must employ qualified technicians. Emissions inspection technicians require separate DMV certification. Verify current requirements with the NY DMV at dmv.ny.gov.
