Decent DMV, staff here always got some attitude for no reason though, be prepared to deal with people who take out their anger on you because they have the emotional intelligence of children

The service was above any received in the past. The new lineup and organization made the experience much simpler.

My favorite DMV in the bay so far, the African American lady is so nice, the African American gentleman too, they work at camera section and they love to help everyone, especially new immigrants, elder folks etc which really touches my heart. The Hispanic lady didn't follow up for the customers, she could've done it better I mean.

Well it's a DMV. It's not the happiest place on earth but it's better than most other DMVs. The parking lot can be Troublesome sometimes. Also they are notorious for not having the paperwork you need.

This DMV did everything in their power to make sure I could make the 4:30 driving test time. I thought for sure I wouldn't make it but they opened another camera and pushed me along. Super appreciated it.

Surprisingly efficient and orderly! I was in an out to clear up my registration address that I couldn't resolve online in maybe 40 minutes just joining the virtual line at 3:30 pm. That is amazing. Folks were helpful and friendly too!

All good and the staff, very helpful. Better than Coliseum DMV. Just go! But keep in mind that it may be stressful if you aren't prepared

I was pleasantly surprised how fast it was. 40 min no appt. There was an ambulance outside blocking the way but otherwise. Really nice . The staff were very helpful. Rather jovial. We laughed . They helped me really quick with I go and the right paperwork. It was a little hard to hear . But that's because people used outside voices Inside. Not the staff . Visitors. It was a nice experience and I will go back. Definitely.

Went in on a Friday at 8:30am to transfer ownership on car. Was done in about 45 minutes (only took 10 minutes for the transaction, about 30 minute wait). No appointment. Easy Peasy. Perhaps was a quieter day than usual? Everything seemed well-organized.
