Most people DREAD a visit to the DMV, and usually for good reason. I've been to this location a handful of times over the past year and almost always have managed to get in and out in a very timely manner. Get in, take a number, have a seat, wait for the number to be called, take care of business and get out - usually 20 minutes or less, unless it's a school vacation day or around the holidays - then it gets time consuming.
My secret has always been to get to this location as the place is just opening up, and never try to do my business during or after lunch. The folks who work here are no-nonsense, not chatty, not unfriendly, just all business and wanting to get things done just as much as the next person. They exhibit a great deal of patience and take a lot of abuse from mouthy, know-it-all, rude people.
The building is aged and the waiting area isn't necessarily comfortable - hard chairs and no frills. There is a TV screen but I don't pay much attention to it except to see when the next number is called. The atmosphere is not supposed to be something to make one want to stay here anyway. read more
