I went to the DMV in Santa Maria today to finish the process to renew my driver's license. I was blown away by their excellent customer service and efficiency! I was in and out of there in less than 15 minutes (having an appointment definitely helped). Everyone was helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. Well done, DMV team! Keep up the great work!

Honestly probably my best experience with the DMV ever. While going to the DMV is never particularly pleasant just due to the sheer massive people crammed into it at any given time. This location made the whole experience bearable. The people working there were nice and got me in and out fairly quickly.

The dmv has changed so much and is way more efficient than ever before! Go online do as much as you possibly can on the dmv website before making your appointment and be sure to make an appointment before you go and it will be a good experience at the dmv I promise you

We visited this office on 12/3, we did not have an appointment. I am amazed at the speed and efficiency these employees work at given the extremely cramped conditions of this facility. And everyone had a good attitude! They have perfected an imperfect situation and everyone who works there should be congratulated on doing a fantastic job.

What a big improvement. Workers were very respectful and very attentive to your needs. The lines went fairly quick. People were in and out at a very good pace. I Was very impressed. what a big difference in just a month since I have to visit every month for my granddaughters needs there. Very well done.

I made an appointment online for 1:40 PM, checked in at 1:35 PM, and was seen by the agent at 1:45 PM. She was very efficient and polite and I was able to get my real ID completed in about 10 minutes. The office is clean, and everyone I dealt with was professional.

Just noted that previous reviewers complain about quick service with appointments here. I have made 4 visits using appointments in the last 3 years at this DMV. In every case, I showed up about 15 min before my appointment time and was served and actually finished and out the door before my appointment time. There always is a lot of people standing in line that don't have appointments and it makes me feel a little guilty walking out the door in such a short time.
