Instructor Noel really makes a difference compared to other instructors. He is kind, helpful, and very professional. He does his job with a great attitude, a quality that is hard to find at the DMV.
It’s a DMV. I was in an out in 20 min, but I had made my appt and uploaded documents online. The gentleman who took my photo was gracious enough to let me know if I needed a retake or not. Parking could be better.
Great experience here. The reps were very friendly and helpful and got all of my complicated stuff done right away in one visit. I expected to have to come back a couple of times as I had four different things to take care of but they were able to get me through quickly and after a couple of hours, I had everything done. Thanks for such a streamlined process and for being so personable
I was super worried that this would be an all day event. However, I made an appointment for my real ID. My appointment was at 9:10. I was done by 9:15. I didn’t even have to wait in line. I highly suggest that people make appointments Through the app. It’s super easy and it was so stress-free. The lady was nice. The picture lady was kind of flat affect, but whatever. It was an overall great experience.
Great experience, passed behind the wheel driving test. The examiner was very calm and nice and explained any further minor improvements that can be made for daily driving. There is a public restroom to use, not super clean but DMV clean. Overall good experience!
I like this DMV. But there are a lot of people, so it's not worth showing up without an appointment. I showed up at the appointment time and they took my documents in 30 minutes.
Wendy at Winnetka DMV Driving Test Counter 26 is the nicest person behind the counter at any establishment, let alone a crowded DMV. Thank you for being friendly, smiley and helpful! You are a gem! We appreciate you.
If you have an appointment it goes pretty fast. It wasn't too crowded when I went. Took an Uber as I don't drive, needed a Real IDCard before the dead line
If you have to visit the DMV, this office is actually pretty decent. It was a relief to see that they've organized it so you aren't queuing outside any longer. As crowded as it is, people are called up in a reasonable timeframe, and the employees are generally pleasant. I imagine this can be a difficult job for the staff, so having some understanding helps.
DO NOT go there without making an appointment beforehand. You will be sorry, I warned you! Anyway, with my appointment I arrived 10 - 15 minutes before. I was checked in, called on, and everything taken care of within 30 minutes. Although I didn't have to take any tests except for Vision.
I've had to visit twice in the past few years and the people I've worked with have been pleasant and very helpful. It always helps to make an appointment ahead of time if you can. I was in and out within 10 min for everything I had to do
DL renewal- Everything was smooth. Booked appointment priorly. Came exactly in time. I was let in immediately. Provided documents. Waited 3-4 minutes and was called to the window. Ladies were very friendly and procedure was smooth. In and out smoothly.
Got my DL! well i'm glad i can drive here in LA now but the waits are too long here. Luckily i went when it was raining back in Feb but it still took 2 hrs to get out of there. The staff is super sweet though and they do work their hardest to get done as soon as they can.
I had an amazing experience here. They had a kind lady come out before opening to help guide you in the right direction and advise on what forms you need. Once you enter the gentleman helping you get your number was very pleasant. The gentleman that helped me with my registration was so kind and made me laugh and put a huge smile on my face leaving there. I really wish I remembered everyone's name.
I made an appointment to renew my license for 2:40 pm, for when I got off work at 2:00 pm. I was there a little early, but got in the line for Appointments Only. I was pleased with how everything went so smoothly for mid-afternoon, even though it was very busy. From the very start, and each station I went, each employee was very nice and pleasant.
I expected to come here , stay in line forever , and stay in more lines , and go to a bunch of windows that don't really want to help me like every other dmv but that didn't happen. Had an appointment and was in and out in 30 mins to get a real id. The people who helped me were very nice as well and they all listened closely and got me through what I needed.
