Wow! How does this place stay open? First off there was plenty of parking. Then I had to wait five whole minutes in line. When it was my turn, the staff member greeted me with a smile. I was out of the place in less than 15 minutes! What wrong with this place and its good service? Why can't they be like a real DMV like the ones in California. Where the lines can go around the block and it can take hours? read more

Sold vehicle to somebody and did transfer/re-registration to buyer easypeasy. Great customer service and parking lot was handy for sale.

I love this place! The friendly people thst work here make my day. It's also very conveniently ' located in a good spot!

Rude and un-engaged employees. The goal appears to make people pay more in fees and jump through hoops.

Not good., save your money they get to do a little work. And have a bad attitude. They treated me like they don't care about the extra service fee they get to pay their wages. read more

Oddly enough this location is almost and in-and-out process. They have a person at every window and they seem to be working efficiently to get people in-and-out as quickly as possible. I have never had any trouble getting my licensing completed here and they are always really good about answering any and all questions asked. I will continue to come here to get my licensing as long as I am in the area. read more

This place came highly recommended. For some reason the person I spoke to was very condescending. It's too bad, considering I'm new to the state, I was hoping this would be easier than the hassle previous DMV offices have been all about. No one is going to read this, but if one does, coming in with questions is not uncommon. Especially since I had all the required information. Any questions I had regarding the process should not be met with such attitude. It's your job, after all. read more

What a helpful group of people. I'm out of state and Ms. McKenzie was diligent about making sure I had the correct paperwork after I sent in the wrong one. The whole team is just great! read more

All my registrations expire at the same time, 6 of them. Went there on a Saturday morning, because the online DOL website is such a pain in the ...anyhow, in and out in ten minutes, with all the paperwork and everything perfect. read more

In this pandemic time I have to give a shout out to all the worker in Parkland Auto Licensing they are doing a great Job keep it up!

Place is a joke, bought a Harley from a guy. The signature on file was not identical to the one on the signed title. She claimed I signed it. (aka Fraud) after calling Olympia to report fraud on my newly purchased motorcycle. I contacted the previous owner and asked him to come to the licensing office. He gladly obliged, after showing his ID and telling the teller that people signatures change after 10 years, she was unimpressed and wanted to continue this ordeal. Wasting a good 30-45 minutes of my life. She was completely unapologetic and seemed like she got her jollies off messing with people. Bad experiences run amok at this place. I got the last laugh, first off I have never committed fraud in my life. I don't steal, cheat or whatever else happens in Parkland clearly too often. read more

A+++ Really EXCELLENT to deal with past four years! Truly awesome even though MED problems and deaths. Always quick, kind, efficient & supportive. Best licensing place ever! read more

See all

Fast and friendly service. I got all of my questions answered and was out of the door in less than 15 mins! We will come back here for my fiancé's vehicle next time. read more

Knowledgeable people, attentive and nice! Much better than in the past! Knows what they're talking about. I had stopped coming to this location because of the workers but they were 100% different now, which is great since they're conveniently local. read more

Spelled name wrong on title and then wanted me to pay to have them do a new title. Acknowledge they messed up but wouldn't fix it for free

The best choice for auto licensing in the area. Friendly and knowledgeable service. Always willing to discuss what is necessary to change a title or renew license tabs. At the beginning and end of the month, the lines can be long but move along quickly. Parking can be challenging at times as the lot is small. read more

I have been coming here for many years since I was a young girl I recently came and everyone was all smiles and very welcoming. As always it felt as if nothing had changed. It's always been a nice friendly environment with excellent customer service. If you want fast and convenient make sure you stop here. They will take good care if you. Keep up the great work everyone, thanks for being so nice. read more

Don't trust the website. Whatever hours it says they're open is a flat out lie. I got there an hour and a half after they claim to be open only to find the door locked and a parking lot full of equally outraged drivers. And I don't mean they were out to lunch or whatever, lights were off and not an employee in sight. read more

We had been using a different licensing agency that was closer to the office but after getting bad information on 3 separate visits (which ended up with us wasting multiple company written checks) we ended up going to Parking Auto Licensing mainly because they took credit cards. Not only was this more convenient but April was more knowledgeable, helpful and friendly than anyone I've ever dealt with at any licensing agency. Not only did she process our title transfers very quickly she gave us her contact information and offered to let us send her paperwork in advance to get everything prepared ahead of time. Top notch customer service!!! read more

I would go here for your tabs, you'll be presently surprised how fast you in and out with in five minutes. The folks here are really nice! Accepts cash or check. Has an ATM at this location. Don't waste your time going to the Lakewood location. read more

Kinda fast, went in and out. Also gave some tips and the website we needed for good and fast service. Walked in and was treated with a warm, welcome. read more

This is likely the fastest service I've ever experienced with regards to re-registering my vehicle. Everyone is extremely nice and experienced. Great customer service. I was in and out in 5 mins. read more

This a fair size office. The staff is friendly and fast. Parking can be a bit tight when busy. Weekends are the busiest. You can also pay by card here. read more

I love it when I have to go to the Parkland Auto Licensing office. The staff there is fantastic!!

I don't understand the negative reviews here. I've come here during lunch (very busy) and around 5 (right after work - super long line) and have been in and out within 20 minutes. I live in Yelm and still go here to get my tabs done. They are professional, friendly, and always do what I need right and the first time. I've called before and Ive never not been answered. Final comment, try going to the location in South Hill if you think this place is bad, you will end up wanting to rip your hair out and buying a bike so you never have to deal with them. read more

Renewing my tabs. I had an awful experience with the front staff member that also turned out to be one of the owners. She was extremely rude. I just don't understand why some people open businesses and have zero customer interface abilities. Free government money make some people lethargic and rude sometimes. read more

I used to like this place a lot but recently their customer service got worse. Very bad experience today that I am not sure if I will come back to this place again. read more

The Staff in this licensing office were extremely professional and the most customer friendly group of any I have yet encountered. The young lady who served me today was helpful, friendly, courteous and kind! She gave the impression that she enjoyed serving the public and she gave me first class service. Unlike my recent experience at the licensing office on E. Main Street in Puyallup, where the clerk was not friendly, courteous or kind, the Parkland office is very well managed and the staff has their act together. I highly recommend doing all your vehicle licensing needs with the Parkland office and avoid the Puyallup office unless you enjoy the rude & condescending treatment. read more

Place is a complete joke. Won't ever get anything from these tools. They make everything beyond complicated.

I have just tried calling this establishment. I attempted to call several times however no one answers and it goes straight to an answering machine. I feel the state should reconsider how they do business in regards to auto/ vessel registration. read more

Best experience I've had registering my vehicle, I just PCSd here and didn't expect to be out of there within 10 min with my new plates on hand. The employees there were very friendly and helped me out tremendously. Definitely a 5/5 read more

So friendly, knowledgeable, quick, and a really clean operation! By the way, they are Seahawks fans, and there was one 12th-man flag on the wall. There were five ladies there waiting and asking if I needed help! I'd go here any time. If I'm in a hurry, or if I'm leisurely getting my tabs... read more

I've been going to Parkland licensing for ever over 35 years. I've never had a bad experience. They have always tried to help me even when it's difficult. I bought a French vehicle once. It was hard to license. This is a great group of people there. I just wrote this to say thank you read more

I went in to get my license tabs & was told I needed an emissions check even though I had to get one last year! Apparently if you go in after the 365 days you have to pay for another emissions fee. I thought it was every other year. So much for storing your vehicle and missing by a few weeks. The next problem came when she told me if I got back before 1:00(closing), I could still get the the tabs. Got there a 12:50 and was going to pay with a credit card as I was told I could earlier but was denied because she said they do not take cards after 12:30. I left upset but came back in asking if there was another licensing agency open on Saturday after 1:00pm. She told me they all close at 1:00. I felt she was lying to me and decided to Google other agencies in the area. Glad I did! There were a number agencies open until 2:00, 3:00 and 5:00 close by! Will not go back to Parkland Auto Licensing read more

No t really five star service but to counter the one star rating I have to do it. If they were slow helping someone then how could that same whinny person say the upside was short lines? Contradiction. I like that I can order on line and then pick up when I drive by this office. Sometimes months later. There is a line to pick up internet orders and you are out the door. read more

They are generally fast and helpful. The couple issues I've had here were very small and easy to fix! Awesome to have a place like this to go get your tabs renewed! read more

I spoke to Jenna on the phone and was passed on to another lady there. No one helped me or even tried to. They offered excuses as to why they couldn't help and complained about how difficult there job was. I quote "well I was on the phone with customer service for 3 hours yesterday" and "you are not understanding my dilemma." It seemed to be all about how difficult there job was. They gave me 0 information and no help whatsoever. When she got frustrated on the phone SHE HUNG UP ON ME! read more

Went in today with my grandparents in order to put in for a title on a 62 Chevy that my Grandfather has owned since 73 but the title was lost in a flood before they moved to Washington. They told my grandparents to come in with all the paperwork on the car they possessed in order to put in for a new title. A gentleman called us forward and without even looking at the paperwork told us that we had to present a title for him to help us. After explaining what we had been told over the phone he again told us we needed a title (This is what we are trying to put in for at the DMV!). When we explained the company sold the car was no longer in business and we had been told to bring this paperwork he responded with "well you better get in contact with next of kin" from a car sold in 72 in South Dakota. Do not know what is wrong with this DMV and its condescending Employees but I would never recommend going here as we easily had the licence issue taken care of at the Yakima Ave location. read more
