As has been posted here previously if you follow the procedure and don't BS Albany the process goes fairly smooth. Jerk their chain and you will have a sh!tload of trouble.
The DMV station inspection is primarily to check for stolen parts and ensure tax has been paid and assign the NY DMV VIN sticker. They do not check most of the "required" items that Vehicle Safety has listed on the form. Of course you then must have an "annual inspection" at a regular inspection station so the inspector if following the process will ensure that the wipers work, light operate, etc.
Congrats on the success.
