    DMV Pittsburg, CA customer service stations.

    I had to go in-person to the Pittsburg, Ca. DMV to renew my license because I needed a vision exam, thumbprint and photo. I went online to complete preliminary information. While online, I saw something from Yelp and took a look at the Pittsburg, Ca DMV. Yikes! Most reviews were cringe-worthy and made rethink my choice of office. Instead I toughed it out and showed up bright and early for 8am opening on a Thursday. I did NOT have an appointment and expected to be there all day. At 7:55am, the front door was already open so I stepped inside. Wow, clearly some major changes had been made to this DMV! I saw a well-lit, spacious, organized and well-staffed unit. On my right there were 14 teller-like windows with waiting staff. There were already 10 or so folks in the waiting area, looking comfortable. To the left of the front door, was a short queue with a seated screener. She asked specifically what service I needed, and looked up my completed forms online. She asked for my cell phone number, instantly texted me my wait number in the line, then motioned me to the waiting area. At 8am, a very large screen visible to the waiting area began to display the first 14 customer numbers. Both appointment & non-appointment were served. I waited no more than 20 minutes when my number came up for station #14. As I walked past other stations, I noticed each one had a computer, vision test & thumbprint capabilities. My station additionally had a camera. The staff person who helped me was relaxed, kind and helpful. It took about 10 minutes to complete everything including photo. I was out to the parking lot before 9am!! I highly recommend this DMV. Thank you Pittsburg, CA DMV.

    Nicely organized!!!

    Appointment schedule for behind-the-wheel tests should be included after getting a permit. Time is getting wasted!!

    Ask the Community - DMV

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    Yes

    Do they allow you to be on standby for the driving test?

    No you HAVE to have an appt for the Behind the Wheel Drive Tests

    How is the driving exam?

    My daughter passed with 100% written and the practical they didn't even make her do a 3 Point turn or parallel parking. The Tracy DMV is newer and less traffic out there.

    If you're going to the DMV to deal with tag and title then you're doing it wrong! DJ is awesome and…read moreas long as you have any prerequisite documents you may need (i.e., smog, etc...) he'll get you in and out in less than ten minutes. Use the Google chat function to let him know what you need (he responds super quick), and he'll let you know if you need anything prior to coming in. I came here twice for both mine and my wife's out of state tags, and it was just too easy. This is a really good business and is worth a small fee as it and adds a wonderful convenience to what is usually a daunting experience.

He responded quickly to my questions on Yelp messaging and answered all my questions, whereas other services either didn't reply for a long time or didn't even answer the question (or maybe didn't understand?). When the car arrived, I called him and he explained exactly what to expect. Pull up in front, or park on 12th and Fruitvale, give him a ring, and he'll come out to inspect the car, then we'd go inside to finish the paperwork. All I had to do was bring the title. He forgot to mention on the phone that he charges a 3% credit/debit card fee if not using cash, but there was a sign in the office stating this so it wasn't a surprise or anything. Within minutes, he gave me 2 plates, stickers, and the registration document, and filled out all the paperwork for me, I just had to sign in two places. I took a photo of all the pages and he said I would receive everything back in the mail from the DMV. There's a $5 off with Yelp check-in and I forgot to mention it until after he already charged me, but he gave me a $5 bill back, which I immediately went and used for tacos at Tacos Sinaloa #4 across the street ($3 per taco if you're wondering). Well worth paying for a service like this rather than try to figure out everything yourself and line up at the DMV. I was probably done with my tacos by the time someone would've finished up at the DMV.

Prior to coming and changing my name, I filled out the application online a few days prior and kept the reference number on hand. When entering the building, you get your number from a kiosk and wait your turn, as you would anywhere else. I waited about 40 minutes, when my number was called, the process took less than 10 minutes. I was in and out in under an hour, which is more than I can say for any other government building lol. Wait times can vary, but on a Tuesday morning it went by pretty fast, even though there was a line of 20 people in front of me. Looks like wait times will be long, but the staff are clearly very efficient. The lady who helped me was extremely nice and helpful, and answered all my questions. I'm glad I went here instead of another SSA location. 7 windows open, 3 closed. Not bad at all.

At that point, I was just two numbers away from being called. I asked the security guard why there weren't signs posted near the kiosks or a notice on the electronic board explaining this beforehand. He said they were short-staffed. I replied that perhaps they should at least advertise that people need to call ahead, instead of wasting the public's time and their staff's time. I then told the clerk I wanted to wait for a manager to discuss the inefficiencies. After another 10 minutes with no response, I left. This office is beyond ridiculous
