- Samurai DogOctober 12, 2011Fast service. Check online so you have proper documents and then you will not have any problems. I had no problems getting a corrected title and I had friendly people helping me.
Shannon JeropkeMay 5, 2019Vehicle services is fast and the folks are super nice. Driver services is slow as hell and the folks are jerks!
Ryan SJuly 25, 2014Whatever letter you have in the waiting area, they'll serve all the way up until the # before yours and then you'll never live to see that letter called again. Just pass away in your chair, schmuck.
Chulses MacSJuly 18, 2014Went at 4:30p on Thursday 7/17. It was fairly painless; went from reception to ID lady to cashier to photo. Everyone was working fast to go home by 5.
Jeff SolteroNovember 4, 2013Good god, long lines, ambiguous genders of associates, and screaming children. Don't lose your IDs or you'll lose your mind having to get it replaced.
Hyun KimJanuary 27, 2012Be courteous and they can be actually friendly and saved me from having to spend $95 on a new title to remove a lien.
Alexander DorogenskyMarch 8, 2014Required documents for a new license don't list a car insurance. Thus your safe bet is to bring all the documents you have. For that I keep a portfolio to fit all my papers.
Bob DeGraffOctober 5, 2015There Special Investigations department got right to the heart of my problem and resolved it quickly!
This is a place that I think everybody goes because isn't an option many times. Usually long lines, but at least is organized.
ᴡ MarronMay 1, 2013Come at end of day. They are super efficient and fast. No government worker want to work past 5. :)
Marissa SeeSeptember 7, 20169AM on a Wednesday - a lot of people. Just renewing license, so I only have about 12 people in front of me. Pretty efficient here.
Sean POctober 6, 2011They are useless! Be sure to bring in every piece of mail, every ID and SS card you have. Don't forget to bring your mom, aunt, and neighbor, for verification.- Gigi GayleAugust 13, 2010I love this dmv because it is never crazy busy. Also it is so well organized that it cuts down your wait time. The staff is very personable.
AmberRose TVAugust 11, 2014I just got done paying with a Visa so I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.
Nina MarieNovember 14, 2019Go elsewhere if you need to renew your DL. This one is packed solid at all times.
michael manriqueJuly 24, 2013The people are mostly nice but clueless about any detail and stuck in a rigid bureaucracy.
They accept visa now! Never come here at the end of the month; you'll wait for sure.
Sez GiulianSeptember 21, 2011Website says they're open later on Wednesday. a) not true, website is out of date b) it's busy as shit on Wed- Sarah VelascoNovember 5, 2012Don't go on Mondays. All other locations are closed so this location has lines out the door!
Someone roams the parking lot checking plates. If your car isn't legit, park on the street down the block.
Violent FlamesNovember 23, 2011Please do not bring your whole family with you. Credit cards are now accepted as well.
nick marcheseApril 29, 2010If you're registering your vehicle, I strongly recommend using the automatic kiosk...no disgruntled people to deal with!
Jessica LevinSeptember 28, 2010Got my new license and plate stickers in under 30 min. Fast service with mostly friendly staff
Michael BernardoJune 20, 2013They gave automated pay stations now for renewing stickers! Remember no Visa!!
- One of the best location to get your Driver's license and or State Id's
