Great customer service. Local and convenient - definitely would recommend all your tag and title…read moreneeds.

Very disappointing experience…read more We've always used this office for our car tabs and appreciated the cute atmosphere and usually easy service. Unfortunately, our recent experience registering a used vehicle purchased from a private party was so frustrating that none of us will be returning. We followed the instructions given to us, received a checklist, and even called ahead to confirm we had everything needed and whether the seller needed to be present. We were assured we were prepared, only to arrive after spending hours driving around gathering paperwork and be told we were missing a required form. When we questioned why we hadn't been told about it, there was no concern or willingness to help resolve the situation. We returned the following morning with the seller, as instructed, only to be told that the seller's wife also had to be present to sign. This was directly contrary to what we had repeatedly been told. All of us were left stunned by the conflicting information, the employee's attitude, and the complete lack of an apology or accountability. We understand that paperwork requirements can be complicated, but customers should be able to rely on the information provided by the people handling their transactions. A little courtesy, accurate instructions, and taking responsibility for mistakes would have made a world of difference. It's especially disappointing to walk away from a business we've trusted for years feeling this way. They've lost not only our business but also the seller's.

I know, I know, a 5 star rating for the DMV? From all of my experiences, I never thought I'd be…read morewriting a positive review, but the vibe and service at the 6th Ave location was nothing short of a good time. It started off as most visits do - no appointment, take a number. 87 and on 83, not bad for a Thursday afternoon. The employees at the windows were friendly, helpful, patient and yes, smiling & joking. Then there was the person at the front - acted like an office manager as she kept things moving along and when she knew why I was there (registration renewal that was late), she said no need to wait and that she'd help me. What?! I had only been there 10 minutes and was 2 numbers away. Talk about service!! I told her I didn't have my paperwork and my registration had expired (was driving by and just stopped in). She asked when, I told her the 20th and with a smile and laugh she said " it's still April so no worries"! I told her I really appreciated how she was keeping things moving along and what a good mood everyone was in. We both agreed life is too short not to enjoy what we do and to treat others with kindness and respect. Without an appointment, I was in and out within 20 minutes. First sunny warm day in awhile might have helped lift the mood but after years of avoiding the DMV, if needed, I won't hesitate coming back to this location.

I've been to a lot of DMVs across the country, I hate them. Parking was so easy, tons of street…read moreparking, appointments were easy online, walk-ins look super easy/20 min wait max. Self check in on a kiosk. They took me exactly when it was my appointment. I'm here afternoon on a Thursday. People are nice, knowledgeable and helpful. They're efficient. Even the guy next to me said that's the fastest registration he's ever done. It's clean. And downtown! Gotta say I'm impressed.
