    I came early on a Thursday (9 am) without an appointment and waited less than 15 minutes. This beats Van Nuys by far.

    Park in the Target parking garage bc there is always a line for the pkg lot. And MAKE SURE YOU SET AN APPT. You can do it the night before online. I was done in 30 mins.

    They have a new self serve terminal for renewal for your tags. Well you still need to get assistance but you don't have to wait for a window. " Now serving C215 on window 17"

    This office handles Vehicle processing only. Don't even drive to this office, parking lot is a bitch & it won't be any spaces on the street either!

    If you go one street over, you can park for free on Poinsettia. But you need to use the lot if you are registering your car.

    I'm pretty sure registering an out of state leased car in the state of California is even worse than buying a house. Absolute insanity. Employees here are not helpful to boot.

    If it's approaching closing time (5pm) & you're waiting for your number to be called, DO NOT go outside to linger. Security will not let you back in after 5pm, even though you have a # - game over X-(

    There is a major lack of parking here. It took me 35 mins just to pull in the lot and another 20 mins to get a parking. Allow plenty of time for parking wether its in the lot or anywhere else.

    Seriously? Someone is a mayor, here? They're either a masochist or had one very unfortunate day of back-and-forths.
