Department of Motor Vehicles

Horrible! Not a pleasant or friendly place. Not one cracked smile from any employees. Why would they want to come to work unhappy? I’m so confused on how they could go on living daily like this at work. Makes me sad for them. I hope this isn’t how it is daily and it was an off day. I wouldn’t recommend this DMV to anyone. Go to Temecula and be sure to make an appointment online before you come. The line for non appointments was around the corner.

I’m from Murrieta and drove all the way to the hemet DMV because I thought there wasn’t gonna be a long line; Which there wasn’t! Make sure you have an appointment so things go by faster!
Everyone that talked to me was nice and calm which made me feel comfortable (says a person who has social anxiety). I was always greeted with a smile.
Definitely recommend this DMV!

Very very long line. I am sure all DMV offices are like this. The line is ridiculously long and not moving at all. I’ve been in line for 20 minutes and no show of movements. They need more employees here. I tried making appointment and the next available is in a month. WOW. This is too much.

Hemet DMV has got to be the worst establishment I’ve stepped into. These employee’s have a chip on their shoulder every time I go there. I’ve went there and registered 10 or more golf carts. which is a requirement to transport across the border. Each and every time I’ve been there they tell me they don’t do that. Well I guess we’ll go through this for the 15^th time. After an hour later they are finally got the message. Also I don’t think I seen one employee smile once, let alone give a customer a hello or acknowledge them. I believe that they need to purge that entire office. There are a ton of good people looking for work.

Overall this is still the best department of motor vehicles in the area. They are not always crabby but can get frustrated with people that don’t listen. The worst days to go are Monday, Tuesday and Friday. The lines are super long and you could wait up to 4 hours for your number to get called. Make sure you give yourself enough time (I usually take the day off).

Absolutely the worst place ever. rude bitch behind the front desk. longest wait ever. nasty people. Don’t come here

Super quick the wait was probably an hour an a half without an appointment. They only had one lady directing people where to go and passing out the numbers. She was super quick when people were trying to tell her stories she kept asking them what were they here for and made them cut to the chase straight up. She made my visit very quick and easy

Wow! I am so impressed by the staff here. I went to the Temecula dmv about a month or so ago and left in tears. I was treated terribly. This time was excellent. I made an appointment and before I could even sit down, my number was called. I registered my vehicle from out of state and renewed my license within 45 minutes. Monique was the absolute best. Big shout out to her!!! You made my day. Thank you so much for everything.

An uneventful trip to the DMV is a good trip to the DMV… if such a thing is even possible.
Had to take care of some business at a local DMV, thanks to my procrastination issues. The closest ones are in Temecula and Hemet. I decided to utilize Unilocal to help make my decision. Didn’t help much… both DMV’s overall ratings were identical; 3-​stars. So I took a chance and chose the closest one; Hemet.
Not a large parking lot, but lots of open spaces. A good sign? Came in, took a deep breath, and waited in the «Start Here» line, with about half-​a-​dozen people in front of me. Took maybe 5 minutes maximum to get my number. Took a seat and about 5 minutes later my number was called. The transaction took about 3 minutes and I was on my way out of there.
The most exciting action at the Hemet DMV were the dozen or so unattended obstreperous kids running around like free-​range cattle, upsetting chairs and causing an overall ruckus. Where were their parents? Did their parents drop them off at the DMV while they go to work… like a free day care? Weird.
Anyway, in and out in about 15 minutes. I don’t know if Guinness keeps records on such things, but if they did, this trip would have been a world record.
PS — I didn’t even have an appointment. Still… could not bring myself to rate a DMV with 5-​stars… too many bad memories…

With the temporary closure in Temecula, this seems to be the closest DMV to me… I thought it’d be super packed, but I was able to get in and out without an appointment in under an hour!
Service is still so-​so depending on who you get and what you’re there for, but most folks are friendly enough.
Parking lot wasn’t too bad but I’m sure it can definitely get packed on a busy day.
My tip if you don’t have an appointment? Try to go Wednesday or Thursday around noon because it’s typically died down a bit by then!

This place suck. They are slow compared to Temecula. Been here since 730. Got in at 840, took a look around the office and only 7 counters are open. Got my ticket at 851 and its now 956. Then its flies all over the place. Invest in more workers or a bigger building to handle the volume of people. I guess I have to give 1 start for yep. I wish i could give them no stars.
