Department of Motor Vehicles

What a sh*thole! Took 3 hours to finally be called. Only 4 people working at 22 desks! Never will come back to this dump again!!!

A laughable farce. This dmv is even worse than the one in Whitestone. Person at info counter can give info as she hasn’t a clue. Second woman that was working info line knew even less.
This agency personifies the reason people think New York is a shit hole.
What’s the point of having a self service machine that craps put every other transaction?

Typical dmv like all the rest. The waiting takes forever just went to get a new I’d and literally been waiting for a good hour and half and still got like 5 people ahead of me. Either the people that came didn’t have the right papers and making the process take longer or if the small employees are just takin their time.

The worst experience in a DMV in my life! Terrible service broken machines dirty room was so full people were standing around and no movement what so ever on the lines! When spoke to a worker she told me «then go to amityville!»

I normally don’t have such a good experience at the DMV much like everyone else but I made my reservation online and was in and out in no time. I came here on a Monday afternoon. The greeter was very friendly and checked me in. I got my number and I was next they had me out of there 15 minutes max.

If there was one place I would rather not spend an eternity other than hell, it would be here.
That is all.

Lets start by saying almost every Motor vehicle is terrible.
Long lines, Too get on longer lines.
I have been to most of the Motor Vehicle offices in the area at one time or another.
I have always found the clerks to be helpful and friendly.
I had to change my address on my license and renew it at the same time.
I was going to be in the area so i figured it was the best bet.
Big big big mistake.
Out of all Motor Vehicle offices this is by far the worst.
The Motor Vehicles is located inside a state building, Which means you have to go threw a metal detector no weapons of any kind, I always carry a leatherman and a box cutter on my belt for work.
They do not allow you to even bring a mini pocket knife with a scissor.
I will never make that mistake again going there.
Stay away from this Motor Vehicle like the plague

Be prepared to wait. I went here on a weekday afternoon and the line twists and turns and went out of the door (think Disney World, except not fun). I spent about and 1.5 hours waiting. However, the staff is nice and they do keep the line moving.

Wonderful.
How in the hell is it possible for registration fees to be subject to 148.3% inflation? Isn’t the rest of the world working on something like 3% annual inflation?
My freakin’ raise at work this year was 3.75%. I was told that was the best in the company of anyone who didn’t get a promotion (even heard of a guy getting promoted without a raise at all).
And this is how the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles responds to a state in crisis. Charging me $ 110 to renew the reg on my car, which just two short years ago ONLY COST $ 50. Thieves.
Not only that, but you’re not even getting the cool new retro plates with that $ 110. Oh no, if you want those plates, you have to pay $ 135. And if you want to keep your same license plate number on the new plates? $ 150. Let’s keep in mind that the $ 110 I’ve decided to spend is JUST FOR A GODDAMN PIECE OF PAPER.
Oh and the Hauppauge branch of the DMV is an abomination. You are much better off waiting 1.5 hours for pretty much any basic service at the Huntington branch.
