Very well organized. I had an appointment and only waited 10 minutes. You're assigned a code. When it's your turn, your code is announced and illuminated on the main board, where it is visible by all. The board also indicates which window to go to for service. I was very impressed.

I don't live in San Luis Obispo any longer, but I grew up here. If I need to do business with the DMV, I will make an appointment for when I know I'm in town because everyone who works here is so nice and efficient. I had an appointment for 9 am this morning, and my problem was solved and I was out the door by 9:02.

Everyone here was super friendly and helpful. Only issue I had was a VIN verification wasn't done correctly, so it had to be done twice. Otherwise, smooth process for getting registration and ID in order. The option to get in line from the DMV website is a life saver and worked well!

I went to the SLO DMV for the second time yesterday, and my experience was just the same as the first. It was an organized process with a friendly staff. I used to dread going to the DMV, but not any more. It was quick and painless.

Very pleasant experience at the DMV this afternoon. I did as much as I could online prior to coming in to make their job easier when I arrived. Everyone was very kind and helpful. Probably the quickest and easiest trip to the DMV I have ever had.

Despite their infamy for obtuse service, they helped me without sending me back and forth or being annoying at all tbh. They gave me all the paperwork I needed when I came up to them and asked.

DMV gets a bad wrap. No likes the process of dealing with all the problems we must go to DMV for. I have to say, huge props to these over-worked employees. SLO DMV workers have always been courteous and expert in any matter I've had. Thank you for all of your outstanding patience and help.

I have been here multiple times with my family and the staff has always worked very hard to be efficient and to get things right the first time. I realize they sometimes get a bad rap, but the nature of the work is really quite difficult and they do a great job. I really appreciate their services.

This DMV office is one of the best I've ever been to. The people are extremely nice and they do the best they can to process people as efficiently as possible. There was a disabled man in emotional distress while I was in there and the staff handled him with patience and kindness - I was impressed.

I went here today to get my Real ID. They are open on Saturday, which is convenient. Parking is easy. The woman helping me was so nice. The staff were smiley. I usually have terrible experiences at the DMV, but this was different. I was there about an hour total, but I arrived shortly after they opened, which probably helped. I'll be back!
