I got there at 9:10 and was expecting to stand in a long line you would do at any other location. (This also wasn't my first time here, I believe I've gone here three times now and all were good experiences). So this time there was no line at all. I walked in and straight to a staff member who helped me. The lady who helped me was excellent. Nice attitude and very efficient. Like I said I've been here I think three times now. One time on a Saturday there was a line bit that time I did my tabs online so I got to skip in front because I was just picking them up. I would tell anyone to do the renewal online if they can then pick them up. That way if there is a line you can jump ahead.

I strongly recommend everyone to make an appointment way ahead of time because it will save you so much time! My appointment was at 3:30pm. Arrived at 3:15pm for a ticket. What I noticed was that, people who came after me but had an appointment prior mine still get the priority. My number was called at 3:28pm and got my visit wrapped by 3:35pm. A week prior, I tried to walk in hoping to get an appointment. But the staff told me it will take me at least an hour to 1.5 hours wait. So I ended up leaving and stuck with my originally scheduled appointment.

Thank you for having such a competent staff. PS this is a family owned business. For 57 years. Amazing value for the time.

If you do your tabs online and pick them up here it's great. If you have to do it in person it's also great.

Also, let's remember to follow instructions at the location, bring all your Paperwork and know the person's helping you is there to help you so let's not get angry at them because of something that is not their fault as they are just doing their job.
