When I was trying to change over insurance and went to another agenncy I felt more confused than when I went. Going to ama the Agent, who I think was named Justin, walked me through the process, helped me track down the documents I needed and overall saved me from a meltdown. The last visit I had Briann, who not only was super friendly and helpful. But she was able to give me the paperwork I needed for my health cards and explain why the number I had wasn't working, when no one ese knew. So 10/10 customer service indeed! The only con is that, you can get your insurance cheaper and there is a membership needed but for me, in the end it is worth it!

I had stopped into my "local" AMA a week prior, and proceeded to walk straight out because the line was bonkers long (as it always is at the Gateway BLVD location). I also have been stuck in ridiculous line-ups pretty much every time I've gone into the West-end location on 170th Street in Terra Losa - so I didn't expect anything much better at this one... Low and behold - no line up and lots of employees! Hallelujah! This may just be the hidden gem of an AMA that I have been searching for! Oh, and the 2 young ladies working the registration desk were just lovely!

I did go early in the morning close to when they opened, so may get busier later in the day. I haven't come here in a long time, as I have just renewed my car registration online for the last 4 years. But in the past, I didn't have any issues when I did come here to do it. I have never been treated bad, yes sometimes there can be a long wait, but I've experienced that at other registration places too. Yes, I agree the place isn't very nice to look at and could use some renovations to make it more welcoming but I don't come here to have coffee and hang out haha. I just want to get in and out with my registrations/licensing.

They kept delaying the time when they pick up my vehicle and were bullying me to leave my vehicle with my key, even though it was not a area that was safe.

Washrooms are clean and handicap/baby friendly, but space is tight in there if you have a stroller. There is concierge at this location since it's busy here. I find this place sells a good variety of travel gear and has a decent amount of sitting areas used by companions waiting for those members who are in the lineup. They are more efficient too, with a self serve kiosk for buying discounted movie passes & placing the travel maps/guides on display at front for easy access to help yourself to instead of waiting in line. Passport photos are guaranteed here- it was a bit of a hassle to return to get the money back, but the refund covered the difference of the retake photos' cost from the place who did the photo correctly (in the Canada place building which is more expensive anyway). I've usually found service here to be friendly despite being busy. Even just stopping by for some travel questions is helpful. There's no pressure to book through them & they can give you quotes on their prices for theme park admission tickets as well as tips on when price increases occur (they were actually only a few bucks more than the official theme park's website). I don't do my insurance through them or travel bookings, but I haven't been disappointed with services I've used yet (roadside assistance and locksmith). Overall, I'm pleased with this membership and find it to always be a better experience than going to a standard registry office.

Easy to get to, and close by a pub and a convenience store if you need a snack. Originally, I stopped in at around 5 PM but it was full of folks coming in after work for a variety of services. It was way better to go back the next morning at 10 AM. Just one dude in front of me and a bunch of employees free to help, so I was in and out in probably less than 10 minutes. Got the license changed, fixed my hair in the mirror helpfully hung next to the camera, and got my smize on for my new drivers license. They even held onto my sunglasses after I left them there, and picked them up later in the day. Happy registry-ing at Argyll!

Examiner Ruby conducted the assessment with remarkable composure and clarity, providing precise instructions that significantly alleviated my initial nervousness. Her fair and respectful approach fostered a comfortable testing environment, allowing me to perform with greater confidence and ease. Equally commendable was the assistance provided by Receptionist Zainab, whose warm and welcoming attitude set a positive tone from the outset. She managed the check-in process with efficiency and clarity, ensuring that all procedures were explained thoroughly and executed seamlessly. Her courteous communication and willingness to assist contributed greatly to a smooth and stress-free experience.

They do accept credit card but charge a fee, but if you pay cash or debit no extra charge fee. In my opinion that's ridiculous, just remove it you make a lot of money from your speed photo radar captures. And so goes the politics of our government. Anyways, be confident going in here and know what you came in for, making sure you have your Id's and the expiry dates are still in good standing. You can get your learners done here or any class learner I suppose but most of it is done electronically on computer there. If your drivers license expires in the year you can only renew it within six months before expiry. I tried to get mine done early and was refused. Remember to dress sharp or at least do your hair first before your next photo.

No matter how long you have to wait in line at the West-End Registries it always seems longer than…read moreit actually is. Why? Because they are always playing those annoying Just for Laffs skits on the big screen TVs behind the service counter on a constant loop. I've been coming here for a few years now and it's always the same! They have ShawOpen wifi now so at least you can surf the net while you're waiting. Or write a Yelp review... To avoid the lines from hell, the best time to come here is mid-afternoon on a weekday. I came in to renew two registrations and there was only one person ahead of me. The wait was probably around ten minutes even though the Just for Laffs made it seem like an hour. The transaction went by quickly but registration renewal is a pretty routine thing anyway. The staff are friendly enough but they all seem phased by the ravages of routine. In other words - they're bored. They're probably slightly desensitized to normal human interaction from the multitude of people stopping in without the correct paperwork who in turn throw a tantrum when they are refused service. Honestly, it's annoying to be turned away because you don't have a notarized letter from your stork filled out in triplicate by Brazil's ambassador to The Cayman Islands. And a current utility bill. It's always best to check online to see exactly what you need before standing in the Just for Laffs line. It saves you an ass-tonnage of heartache. They finally accept credit cards here now but you have to pay a 3% fee. It's best to bring cash or just use debit. Maybe they're using the 3% fee to pay for a wider cable subscription package? Doubt it.
