After buying an out-of-state car for my college-aged son, bringing it home to California meant dealing with the headache of smog checks, registration, and new license plates. Even AAA couldn't help us due to various complications. Mario provided a streamlined, quick, one-visit service that handled all the registration and paperwork perfectly. If I had gone to the DMV, it easily would have taken multiple frustrating trips. Mario saved me so much time and hassle. read more

I purchased a vehicle out of state and was limited on time to be dealing with dmv . Called 4 places atound my area and others did not pick up . Spoke with conar he basically stated to streamline everything smog the vehicle and then we can do everything else without issues since sometimes the smog is the hang up when cars cant pass , he advised regardless of smog outcome he can still hel he ran the rough numbers for fees and registration fees and yes it was fair compared to other places offering vin verification and registration services. Couldnt make it to smog the day we spoke due time constraints but smogged the vehicle next day and went to conar auto registration services and it was SMOOOTH great guy easy and best of all was done in leas than 30min got my plates and my tags title on the way and the rest of the day free with one less headache. Highly recommend this place for multiple services , simply call or email great communication. read more

See all

They make dealing with DMV a breeze. There is a service fee for processing but it's well worth it, very fast, they handle documents and give clear instructions for what's needed for registration including VIN inspectors near you. read more

Service is quick, honest, and valuable! Rather pay the service than deal with the DMV. They have answers to all of your questions. Any service in the future I'm going to Conar! read more

I had a expired New Jersey registration. Mario really helped me out to get my new CA license plate in minutes. Wonderful service.

This place is awesome. Needed some help with a title situation and they made the process extremely easy and I never had to step foot in the dmv or do any research. The level of customer service from Carol and Mario was amazing. I'm really thankful for there help. Pricing was fair as you have to remember time is money and the dmv can be very tie consuming. I definitely recommend this place for anyone needing assistance with registering or titling their vehicles. read more

My husband & I just bought a car yesterday from a private seller & wanted to take care of the title transfer & registration right away. Got here right as they opened bc my husband & I weren't sure if we needed an appt. Everything took less than 15 mins for title transfer, registration fees, & to get our 2025 sticker. The fee they charged was also not too bad. Rather than going to the DMV & dealing with that headache, this was worth it. Highly recommend them. read more

Mario is amazing to work with. Extremely knowledgeable and understands what's needed. Call multiple places to help with registration and he was the only one that I trusted. read more

The team is great! I have registered two different out-of-state vehicles with them. Is quick, easy, and Friendly service! I will go back to them again and again. Way better than the DMV! read more

Frustrated with the DMV, I called different dmv partners and ultimately went with Conar, as Carol was extremely helpful and friendly over the phone! I walked right the same day without a wait, and Mario verified my VIN while Carol and I went through the forms for out of state car registration. I appreciate her being patient and answering all my questions. I highly recommend! read more

AMAZING. We bought a car out of state (Minnesota) and they used Conar to help us get everything registered in CA. I was a bit worried as I never did this before, but trusted the process. I had to get a VIN CHECK on my car when it arrived, and then a smog, sent both of those docs to Conar, and almost immediately (literally the end of the week), received my registration and license plates from them! Super excited and really relieved. Thank you for the awesome service! read more

I bought a car from out of state and the title was a tad complicated. I didn't want to screw up the transfer to California DMV, or wait for hours there. And I couldn't get an appointment at the local DMV that worked with my schedule and was within the 20 days the car arrived in the state. So I contacted CONAR and am very happy I did. Mario walked me through the steps and made it very easy for me. And I walked out of our 20 min appointment with my CA license plates. It was worth the $189 fee to me. read more

They are very knowledgeable, professional and just wonderful humans! And they certainly not after your money, since they won't even charge me for the assistance that they gave me. Truly grateful! read more

Conar has made registering my out-of-state vehicle in CA so effortless. I submitted the required information on their website and within 24 hours (during the week of Thanksgiving!), Mario was able to provide a quote for the registration, as well as their services. I was asked to confirm the quote, pay the fee, and within 24 hours of submitting that, Mario had my paperwork prepared and was ready for me to go to their office to get my VIN inspection and to finalize remaining paperwork. I was in and out of their office with my CA plates and registration within 15 minutes! 100% worth their service fee. Beats going to the DMV by a landslide. If you're trying to register your out of state vehicle in CA, Mario is your man. read more

This review is LONG overdue. I found this place on Yelp (thanks guys and gals!) and have been very thankful for it! The people that work here are all incredibly friendly. I got my Miata about 2 years ago and started getting my registration done here. I was also able to verify smog through them once I did it at a shop. The time saved here from going to the DMV is an absolute Godsend. I can be in and out in 5 minutes and helped by very friendly people. I can get my sticker the same day for my plates! Overall; quick and straight to the point, I'll be dealing with Conar for years to come on all my car needs. Seriously, thank you guys for being here! read more

Mario was very friendly and efficient. I highly recommend this place. The business is legit as you can literally see the official DMV website lists this place as one of its partners. read more

I've used Conar to register two out of state RVs that we purchased two years apart and worked with Mario both times. He explained all the steps and made the whole process very easy. I couldn't believe how fast we got our California license plates and title. Working with Conar was a pleasure and Mario is a star! It's totally worth the fee and I'll definitely use Conar for future registrations. read more

I just purchased a car from a private party. I requested for an appointment via email and Carol responded quickly. Prior to my appointment, I used the DMV's Used Vehicle Registration Fee Calculator to calculate my fees. The DMV's fees matched Conar's fees. Carol helped me transfer the title and registration. I was in and out the door in 10 minutes. Carol is super friendly and very knowledgeable. I would definitely recommend their services. read more

Go to Conar Auto Registration for your Registration and VIN Confirmation! This is the best place to go if you need DMV work done, bar none period! Carol and Mario are SUPER helpful and SUPER courteous to deal with over the phone and in person! SUPER SUPER fast and responsive as well!!! I had trailer issues with the nearby Lowes and they were super helpful in assisting me! Awesome place to go! Highly recommend these people and place to conduct DMV issues. If you can contact them beforehand, they will make sure you have all the info they need beforehand and it will be super duper fast and painless. Have you ever tried contacting the DMV via phone or email with questions? You would have better luck picking 6 numbers for tonights lotto. You should only go to the DMV if you want to wait in long lines and sit around waiting to be called on, only to be told that you need additional information to complete your processing. Go to Conar Auto Registration...... period! read more

Very helpful, very responsive, very knowledgeable, very convenient, and sure beats the lines and service at DMV. I made an appt through email, they told me exactly what I needed to do before I went in and was in and out quickly. read more

Due to COVID, I have been unable to make an appointment with the DMV to register my vehicle that I purchased from out of state. I read reviews about Conar and their fantastic customer service and decided to give them a shot. They absolutely did not disappoint. Once I had the required documents for the registration process, I mailed them off and received a very timely response that the process was complete. My plates and registration showed up in the mail just a few short days later. read more

Mario is the best! My company has been using his services for years and he makes things quick and easy. So much better than sitting at the DMV. Highly recommend his services! read more

Mario is great, he handled all my paperwork quickly. He came to my house for the VIN inspection and picked it up, a week later I had plates, registration and title. I will definitely pay his reasonable rates before ever going to DMV again. read more

I'll never go to the DMV again if I can help it. Mario and Conar are the only way I'll register my used cars. I've used them twice now and both times were equally pleasant. Fast efficient easy and reasonable. Don't hesitate using their service. read more

Smart well informed team that believe in customer education and transparent transactions. My go to place for all DMV needs. read more

This place is a hidden gem for sure; but their knowledge of what they can do to help the community makes them a DIAMOND. I have been turned away at a couple places for help when I bought a truck with registration issues but Carol here did not. She broke down the problem and crossed them out one by one until I got my new plates. The amount of work she put in and the communication along the way was spot on too! With that, they have me as a client for life and I am glad they were able to make it through the pandemic. Thank you and have a great 2022! read more

Wow! This business is just superb! I contacted them to get help swapping my custom plates to a different car I own. I decided along the way to get a different type of custom plate. No problem for them! They are so responsive! They make the whole process simple. They emailed me forms that I mailed back, which meant I didn't have to make any trips to their location or the DMV. The ease of their service was more than worth the nominal fee they charge. And...the staff are so nice too! I will absolutely use this business anytime I have a car registration need! read more

If I could give them 10 stars I would. I purchased a car out of state and went back and forth with the DMV and the dealer for 1 year before I found Conar. Upon contacting them, Carol was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and most of all understanding and kind. She helped correct all the mistakes the dealer made in the paperwork, helped me reduce the penalty fees from the DMV as it was not my fault, and got my car registered. Both Carol and the gentleman that worked there helped me and were extremely nice to me through the process of getting my car registered and getting me my plates! I appreciate both of them. read more

I love the service here I've been coming here for 4 years now and they are quick and trustworthy. I love how easy and fast they help and they are clear with the process and what they do.I highly recommend this place read more

Forget the DMV! These guys are amazing. You can get registration, plates, docs all in one stop. Mario knows his stuff and makes the process easy. read more

First off let me start out by saying, if I could give this place 10,000 stars I would. A little backstory about how I came across Conar. About 2 months ago I December I was looking into purchasing a used vehicle that was registered in a different state and was concerned about registering it in California once I purchased it. So I began to do some research of my own and the information I came across on Californias dmv website was very confusing and it what I gathered from the confusing information was that it was not possible unless you already own the vehicle and are just registering it in California or if it is a new vehicle purchase from out of state. Needless to say I was very disappointed and more so confused. So after a few hours looking at forums and still being confused then lastly calling the dmv themselves and asking if it is possible, the dmv agent couldn't clarify herself if it was possible and I was very disappointed and discouraged. So I ended up coming across Conar's website and was very interested and also seeing that they were local to me, I had a small light in me re ignite. I clicked on their Yelp page and read every single Yelp review and I was amazed on all the positive reviews about Conar. So I decided to give them a call the next day and I spoke to Mario and asked him if it was possible to buy a used vehicle from out of state and register here in California and he said yes and he had said the Dmv is confusing and he made it very clear what documents I needed to have in order to register my vehicle in California. And all of this happened before I bought the vehicle, we didn't have a appointment set or anything. Mario is just a plain and simple polite and kind person. So once I purchased my vehicle out of state with confidence I called them up and set up an appointment and came in and within 20 mins my vehicle was registered in California. Let me to who ever is interested in this auto registration business. It's 1000x more convenient and easier to go with them rather then the dmv. So registration fees new issued license place etc. paid. And I was in my way. Fast forward to yesterday my license plate was stolen off my truck and I had to file a police report and I was told I needed to go to dmv to get a new license plate and I was dreading having to go to the dmv. So the following day (today) i decided to call Conar again and I spoke to Mario and he remembered me and I told him what had happened and I asked if I could come to them to get a new license plate and he said it was not a problem. Once again super polite, so I asked him if he had availability for today and I was prepared for him to say they were booked solid, and to my surprise he was able to fit me in and once I got there, I was in and out within 10 mins with a new license plate. The crew at Conar is how any business should operate. I never once felt like I was burdening them or didn't feel like if I'm not doing business right away then I'm not important. They treated me like family. I 1000% recommend them to anyone who needs and dmv auto services. I will be definitely using them from now on. If I can Avoid the dmv and give my business to a small business like Conar then I will. Because of how convenient and polite and quick they are. read more

Mario and the staff at Conar were awesome. Mario not only did a VIN verification, he was able to get my '55 Chevy registered and titled. The car was brought in from Wyoming by the previous owner 8 yrs ago but he failed to have it registered in Calif. then after a year went out of business and sold the car to me. The car is now restored and I then tried to figure out how to get it registered. Mario knew exactly the correct procedure and saved me countless hours of frustration and waiting at the DMV. I cannot thank Mario and Conar enough. It was well worth the fee and I highly recommend them. read more

A service review update. TLDR: For lost plates (and sticker), Conar saved me a lot of time (again) by reducing time from more than 1 week + DMV visit (uggh, I would rather get my tooth pulled out) to 48 hours for a very very reasonable service price. The details: My spouse lost her rear license plates (which has the registration sticker). I suspect it's stolen. Why would anyone steal a license plate? See below. I also installed the license plates, and I always do quality check after my work. No, I'm not blameshifting because how can two screws unscrew themselves simultaneously because of say... road bumps? Statistically, that's highly highly unlikely, which is why it's safe to fly a twin engine planes such as Boeing 777: double failure is highly unlikely, but I digress. To make matters worse, I'm overseas on a family emergency. Gosh why, do things happen when you're away? Murphy's Law, I suppose. Anyway, so I'm a DIY guy, and after searching the web, DMV has a link with forms to replace license plates. Great right? An automated system, so it should be fast and easy! Have you seen Zootopia? There's a sloth in its DMV. Not a fiction. Firstly, the link has geofencing, so I can't access it (though I think if you run VPN, which I didn't at the time, it should work), so my wife had to fill it out, which she did. Then a couple of days later, DMV responded and says: sorry, we can't process this, you have to go to DMV field office... I had such high hopes with DMV's automated system, and of course it brought me back down to earth. So, then I remembered: Conar! I registered two cars from out of state (which is a lot harder than pulling teeth if done by yourself) with Conar. Perhaps Conar can help. Help is an understatement: Conar executed quickly and easily at a reasonable price. We did all of our correspondence via e-mail. I just had to explain the situation, provide the required documents, and pay the fees via Paypal. 48 hours later my wife received her plates with the stickers. Imagine going to DMV which takes hours (if you're lucky). My wife said, smart people don't wait in line, they save time by utilizing Conar's services! Re: Why do people steal license plates? I was told that they may use it to go through tolled lanes or the bridges without FastTrak. The camera then captures your license plates, and the bill goes to you. If you suspect your license plates were stolen you'll need to do two things: 1). Make a police report, and 2). Replace your plates and sticker ASAP. read more

I was gifted a vehicle from my father which had fallen out of DMV computer system. Mario was very knowledgeable and explained the process to me. He completed all the forms and made a trip out to verify the VIN. He made the process so easy. I would recommended their services to anyone! read more

super quick, needed to get VIN certified and rather than waiting a whole day outside of DMV, got it done here in 5 mins. The staff is super friendly, called and got an appt the same day. The place is a bit tricky to find but overall tons of parking space read more

Quick and fast. Came in to get my cars VIN verified since I had bought it out of state.

Mario is extremely helpful! This is my second time using his services and both times have been great!

Very pleased with Mario the gentleman who helped me with my registration problems. He was very thorough and helped me come up with a plan to help me with my specific situation. Not only was he knowledgeable he was also a great person. I thought I had left my phone at his office. So I called the office to ask if I had left it there. He said he didn't see it where I was sitting, so he retraced my steps back to the parking lot. I ended up leaving my phone at home. But just the fact that he got out of his chair and walked down to the parking lot was more than enough reason for me to leave a review. I would give him more stars if I could. Great customer service! read more

Same day service. Checked the VIN and motor code quickly. If you consider time money...this is well worth the reasonable cost. Didn't have to wait in line, didn't have to deal with unhappy DMV people. Highly recommend Conar Auto Registration Services. read more

No appointment i just walked in and they instantly helped me. Same day registration for really low price. Excellent service. Spent a total of 15mins there. Beats dmv lines any day. Thanks for your service. read more
