There is not a lot of seating and I have seen 'standing room only' more than once. The chairs are hard and not very comfortable, but functional nonetheless. I have found the staff to be friendly, which is very important to me. However, be aware that they have a surcharge if you want to pay by credit card, which has influenced my decision to shop elsewhere in the past. This time, I was walked through my options, received clear instruction and had a smooth experience. I would recommend this business and will return when I have need.

I come to this location to renew my license and registration and even my family comes here. It's nice to go to a place and receive friendly service. And the fact that there's not 50 cranky ppl waiting for their turn. I usually leave registries angry and frustrated because I have to wait so long, but ever since I've been coming to this registry I've never left angry! I recommend this place if you want to be in and out!

About a month ago the laws concerning out of province inspections changed. An inspection done in BC is now valid in Alberta for 90 days. The person at the counter told me my inspection certificate was not valid. I told her she was wrong and asked her to talk to her manager. Her manager told me it was invalid because it was purchased by my company (which I own). I told him he was wrong and asked for a business card with his name on it. He refused to tell me his full name, so I told him I wanted a photo of him. He told me I could not take his picture and told his staff to call police. I took his photo and left. At no time did I ever raise my voice or use profanity. I went to a different registry and had my vehicle rgistered and plated without any issues. I contacted the police later and found that he did make the police report but the police did not need to talk to me. Canadian law states that anyone in a public place may take anybody's photo without permision. According to Linked-in I was talking to Omar Abou Shaleh, assistant manager.

Although I don't enjoy going to any government institution or government-sanctioned agency because…read moreof the inevitable sometimes unjust added sytemic expenses involved, I really must rate this registry office on its obvious merits. Over a dozen visits to Express have been most trouble-free: their effectiveness in dealing with so many public concerns has proven them to be relatively headache-free. It seems obvious that this place is run by business-minded people, which in contrast to most government-oriented services stands out as special. As well, their multi-cultural staff all are courteous even with complaining customers, and efficiently keep focused on the task at hand while gently commiserating with the disgruntled ones. As well, they have to deal with all kinds of accents and troublesome immigrant concerns like learner's permits, licensing and registrations. Soothing... My last time there was this past week, and when I had to get some docs from my insurer in Edmonton, they made it so easy to receive a needed fax, and then told me I'd not have to grab another number to wait in line again, but just make myself known 15 minutes later. I did so, and in only another few minutes I had everything done. Cool, eh? As I see that some registries are not run as efficiently, perhaps we should help people go to this one rather than elsewhere.
