Not familiar with current Rules, regulations or Laws. I went…read moreto the registry with my bill of sale, current insurance and inspection certificate. 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.

I got the test right away with the examiner Ken (who was also kind and knowledgeable) and got my license quickly back. Furthermore, Hable helped me to get 140$ back from the UNLIMITED REGISTERY in northeast Calgary because they didn't know the law and charged me more and put me on a wrong road test (they put me on an advanced road test! and charged me 147$!!!). thank you Hable Thank you Ken

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.

The gentleman that tested me mumbled directions at me. I told him I could not understand him and he just mumbled more. Had to parallel park on a snow bank, which you could not even see the curb. When we got back to the AMA building this gentleman told me I failed and left. No paperwork or info about what I did wrong. Weird how I could barely understand what he was saying, but he sure knew how to clearly state that I failed. After talking to AMA threw emails, they finally sent me my information. It was like dealing with government people. Take your money and go away. Robotic, rude and pathetic. Suggest never going there.

The decor is fascinating and that is important when your butt is glued to a chair for the duration. Immediately get a number from the red dispenser on the right. Ideally someone would tell you that when you arrive - but if not - understanding will dawn as numbers are called :P This place is BUSY with a myriad of services, and I did notice them make a visible effort to track 'who's on first'. More importantly, the people I dealt with were knowledgeable and efficient (and kind). Load your phone with a good game before you come, make sure you have all your paperwork, a treasure chest of gold, and a delicious coffee :P

The other reviews are coming from people who should only be upset with themselves for failing the exams, not the teachers. I had Michelle for my drivers test and she was great. She made me feel very comfortable behind the wheel, when it can be a little nerve racking. We even had a bit of small chit chat. My 2 sisters also ended up having her for their tests and they loved her as well. Thank you Michelle.. I also had Darryl when getting off of my GDL and he was great too. Very friendly and also made me feel comfortable with some light chit chat throughout the exam.

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!

He spoke way too quietly to hear and gave directions both too early and too late. Despite that, I was able to follow them for the most part. Please reevaluate him because he told me to cut a pedestrian despite there being a stop sign and them having the right of way. He's old and bitter and should not be working in that position. He was only there to get my money and had the audacity to say see you next time like he didn't just fail me. No manners whatsoever, harsh criticism that makes you feel insignificant, and an attitude that rivals a toddler. When he entered before my exam he came in alone because he failed the person before me. If you are going to take the road test don't go here. Two of my brothers came here to test and both got failed, mind you they both now have full licenses and have had no accidents. We thought the same guy might've already retired but he's still taking people's money. On a final note he spoke horrid English. He struggled to tell me what went wrong and his grammar was subpar. I'd expect better eloquence from someone in a position with such authority.
