As I'm getting out my wallet, she looks at my arm and asks "what's that about"? I explain and she says "oh, ok, come back when it's healed. I'll make a note in our system." Huh???

I stood by the wall opposite from her window, holding the next-in-line ticket, waiting calmly & patiently, in her direct line of sight. After about 5 minutes she got off the phone, glanced briefly at me & looked away, & said "next". I stepped up. Another client had just entered - a young man. The representative looked at me & said "I believe he was here first". The young man looked surprised & said "no, she (pointing at me) was" & I stepped forwarded & sat down. I commented that perhaps she hadn't seen me...& the representative said, "oh, I saw you..." in a not-very-pleasant tone. She did take care of what I needed, but she clearly had taken an immediate dislike to me & did not want to help me. I have no idea why, as I was polite, pleasant, smiled, & did not complain about having to wait - didn't act impatient (I had plenty of time & was relaxed) - just puzzled by her attitude! I have never gotten that kind of reaction from a business before!!!!! That young woman clearly did not want to help me! She made it very clear....& I'd love to know why! I am a neatly dressed, 60+ local gal, Very average & generally easy-going & pleasant. I'm not used to having anyone take such an instant dislike to me! She did help me with what I needed, which is good, however.

I have received consistently terrible service at this business…read more The employees at this location are unfriendly ('Maria' the manager in particular), and unprofessional. I have spent many years working with the public and I am surprised that a local business would hire employees that do not have basic customer service skills. As I was waiting (for nearly 45 minutes) I watched as an elderly lady entered (obviously lost) needing assistance and another customer had to help her because she was ignored by staff. I watched another customer wait nearly as long as me, to be told they were in the wrong place/wrong line. There are no signs posted anywhere to explain queue processes. Staff will not speak to you until your number is called. The drive through 'tab' line was wrapped around the building and there were at least ten people waiting inside with only two employees. When I inquired about the wait times, I was told by Maria 'Everybody has to wait in lines, even at Starbucks.' And she rolled her eyes. No smiles and no apologies for long wait times. Worst service I've received in a long time.

Poor over the phone encounter. Hopefully better in person, at which point I will revise my review.read more

I go yesterday, get paid, and I made sure my motorcycle endorsement stays in place. Nope, he marked it as I volunteered to waive it. My bike is my main mode of transportation. Why would I waive it? I was on my bike when I was there yesterday and he even saw me. Calling this place is impossible. You can't get a person. Three times I have left my number to hold my spot and it never calls me back. Now I have to leave work for a third time, and watch, his mistake will cost me more money. If I have to reendorse to ride my bike, just so I can go see my wife three hours away in a home, which will really throw things off, I'm gonna be irrate! Absolutely ridiculous.

Today, I purchased a pop up travel trailer that had it's pop up compartment removed making it a flatbed trailer.

Long story short, I ended up having to get my vehicle weighed with and without the trailer by a certified weight scale (used king city trucking's scale) and gave the dmv the papers.

We bought a car in Idaho and drove it all the way here from Boise with no plates. (For those who don't know, in Idaho the plates don't go with the car when it's sold; they stay with the original owner). We found out that Westside is open until 7:00 pm on Saturday! Score! The ladies here are really great - they tried to help us transfer the title but couldn't do it because our car needed an emissions test. But they did help us by giving us a trip permit AND printing and certifying our title transfer paperwork so both of us didn't have to show up at the title office to sign paperwork in Ballard. Awesome! The office also wasn't busy when we walked in about an hour before closing. Yes! Before this review becomes a full-fledged 80's cartoon, I will just say that it was a great all-around experience for a very niche need. Fantastic!
