Department of Motor Vehicles

This is a great DMV! They’re bigger and I’m telling you I maybe spent about 30 – 40 min in here including waiting in line. The only thing I have to say is that parking is bad. So you will spend some time looking for a parking spot. Way better than Compton! I may have to suck it up to drive here to the DMV!

This is the fastest DMV I’ve ever been to. Granted, your wait may vary depending on what you need to take care of for the day. I just needed to get a replacement license because I misplaced my original. Showed up at 8:00am without an appointment, and was pulling out of the parking lot by 9:05am.
The staff was very polite. For any DMV services I need that I can’t resolve through AAA, this will be my go to location.

Lol. I have no clue how this DMV has so many positive reviews. I’ve been coming here for years. The employees are so rude no matter how nice you are. I’m sure they deal with a lot and their job isn’t always pleasant, but isn’t being professional that hard?
I’ve learned to come later to avoid waiting as long. People always think coming earlier is the key but that’s exactly why the lines are so long. ;)

My husband and I are New Yorkers, we had been putting off getting our CA license because they make you take a written exam. C’mon California, most other states simply swap out your license for a fee!
It’s hard for my husband to take time off from work during the week, so we found out that this DMV takes appointments on Saturday. It was helpful to get a weekend appointment. I would say we scheduled the appointment about 3 weeks in advance and set it up online.
We had previously been to 2 CA DMV offices in Silicon Valley (w/​o appointments) for our license plates. As usual, it was a pretty awful customer service experience in NorCal, but it was better down here.
My husband’s appointment was at 8:30 AM, but we arrived a few minutes after 8. The DMV was fairly empty because it was mainly people with appointments. My husband had to fill out a form to apply for the new license, take it to a clerk, pay the $ 33, have his photo taken, take the written test on the computer and we were out of there by about 8:50.
Not bad overall! Customer service was about average, the clerk who helped us was friendly.
Remember, if you are swapping out your license from another state, to bring your birth certificate or passport!

first off get here early. then trying to ask for help from some umper lumper, napolionic complexed lady, was like trying to get blood from a stone. secondary inspection NEXT like cattle. no eye contact no nothing, waiting for number to be called.

Made an appointment for 3:30, got here early, and began the driving test minutes before 3:30. Yolanda, Vehicle Examiner, was very useful in assisting with the appointment process and keeping everything on time!

Fastest DMV ever! I had 1:40p appt and thought I would have to take written test but awesome Michelle Jones said my renewal notice probably got lost so only had to fill out application and take picture! I was out of there in less than 30 minutes!

I had to wait but that’s at all DMV’s, I walked right in and there was no line unlike the DMV office in Hawthorne. (I was there yesterday and the restroom had either vomit or food that clogged the sink… NASTY!!!) The workers I dealt with were helpful and polite! Once my number was called I was done in no time! Thank you INGLEWOOD!!! I was in and out in less than a hour. The Hawthorne office needs a major overhaul!!!

Could I please give this place –5 stars? I am appalled at the way the employees speak to the people who come here. If it wasn’t for OUR business, where would they be employed? I came in today (Saturday, September 12^th 2015) and the black lady working window 21 had my blood boiling! As I sat waiting for my boyfriend to finish his written test, I had to witness this mean, insensitive «woman» talk to people like they have no worth. I wanted to give her a piece of my mind, but I didn’t want to embarrass my boyfriend and be escorted out by security. She was yelling at an elderly man to cover his eye while taking the vision test and then slammed the machine they use for the test on her desk. Then she was yelling at another elderly couple because they didn’t check in at the desk before approaching her station. I understand it must be frustrating to deal with people all day long, some who have attitudes to match hers, but you should always treat people the way you would want yourself and your loved ones to be treated!!! I am so disgusted by these employees!!! Please save yourself a headache and go somewhere ELSE!!!

I was surprise that this dmv was not so bad. Although there was a long line and I came to pay registration without a appointment the line went very quickly and expedient! They called number very quickly and it was very clean inside (as most dmvs are not). HOWEVER, The customer service is terrible from the security to the reps. They do not speak, barely want to answer your questions and all have attitudes and look miserable being at work. So if ur looking for a place that is quick and will get you in and about under a hour I would say this would be a great place. If ur looking for quality customer service absolutely not! Also no food and drinks allowed inside

Fastest DMV I’ve been to. I go here whenever I need to get something updated for my car.
If you hate the long lines, cranky employees, and anxiety associated with DMVs, go to this one. You’ll still need to wait, but even without an appointment it’s fairly reasonable.
And yes, it does smell like pot throughout the building…

First I come to use the machine to renew my registration. The machine has a sign on it — rather than at the front entrance to let people know prior to walking in — that it only accepts cash or check. After walking outside to get a checkbook, and going through the system again, it refuses to read my check and I have to wait in line for over an hour. They need a better system here and supervisors who don’t have chips on their shoulders.

Took my little bro to the dmv for behind the wheel test! That place was his 3^rd time. Anyway nothing to do with how my bro drives but this dmv has the most disgusting restrooms ever! I mean it. So before you come here please make sure you don’t need to use the rest room! Again. I mean it!
I can’t believe I am writing a review for the dmv? Huh

Yes, there was a line outside in order to go inside & another line to be directed to the proper window. They had a computer glitch. So, instead of receiving the tickets numbers, there weren’t any. Employees tried very hard to move up the line whIle there were many complainers. They did a good job. I’mn just pleased that IT was completed today. See you in 5 years!

The registry was my first experience as a Californian and it did not set a good tone. The registry was so old and dirty. Everything in it was outdated and I expected that it would be more updated. I felt like I walked into 1977. Not to mention that I was charged an obscene amount of money to transfer my Massachusetts plates. I was charged a fee and on top of that $ 600 tax on my vehicle. Despite the fact that I had already paid taxes on my vehicle in Massachusetts where I purchased it. 3 days and $ 1000 later I finally got all my tags.

Just say noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!
The employees are ghetto and take their damn time. They just do not care.

Well… what can I say. The DMV in general has a «meh» reputation that precedes itself. I am no DMV connoisseur, but here are some of my impressions and tips after having visited this place twice.
– There’s a parking lot but it does fill up; there is ample street parking in the area.
– MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. Please… just do it. I actually came to the Inglewood location because it seems to have more appointment availability, and if for some reason you don’t make an appointment, the lines seem to be slightly shorter here than at other locations. I did have to wait 10 days for the next appointment, but when I arrived, both times I was in and out in under half an hour.
– Don’t expect any luxuries. The customer service here is very lackluster. They’ll get the job done, but there isn’t any «hello, how are you today» or «be with you in just a moment». I don’t think I saw a smile from anyone. One lady who helped me was chatting with the employee in the cubicle next to her most of the time. Whatever, it’s fine, but I feel like some pleasantries would make the experience much better for everyone.
– The first time I went, I got into an argument with the lady assisting me because she refused to accept the way I wanted my name to appear on my driver license. I had just gotten married and my maiden name had become my middle name, which was clearly stated on the marriage certificate I showed her. She insisted that «we don’t do it that way» and forced me to put my maiden/​middle name in the last name spot, and she said it would show up correctly on the license when I got it… Nope. I had to go back to get it fixed, and fortunately the second lady completely understood the situation and was indeed puzzled by why the first lady gave me so much grief. Ugh.
– They didn’t let me look at my license photo to make sure I liked it :(There wasn’t even anyone waiting in line behind me. Oh well.
In summary, make an appointment to minimize your time in these doldrums! And go for a run to release some endorphins or treat yourself to ice cream to make yourself feel better afterwards.

Not really sure how you don’t give this place five stars. It’s just one man’s experience but I got here right at 8 o’clock when they open. There were three people in line ahead of me to grab a number which took a couple of minutes and my number was called within 10 to 15 minutes of me sitting down.
I had what I considered to be a somewhat complicated issue and it was handled in less than three minutes and I was on my way. Everyone was friendly and totally professional. ‚
I can imagine the experience changes by the day and who’s helping you but I like to give credit where credit was due and this was a smooth experience! Get there when they open or schedule an appointment. As I was leaving the line was starting to wind outside the door so you’ve been warned.

HELL ON EARTH. If you ever want to teach your kid a lesson and don’t want to do anything illegal, just drop him off here and somehow make sure he stays in there a few hours.
Not sure if I’d rather take a night in jail or a busy day at dmv. That’s right a BUSY day.
I don even know what to even complain about… my fingers would fall off. The 1 star is the most generous review I’ve ever given.

In n Out in 15 minutes…
(WITH AN APPOINTMENT BECAUSE WHAT NORMAL PERSON GOES TO THE DMV WITHOUT AN APPOINTMENT!) LOL
Parking:
A big private lot so no problem there!
Service:
Employees were helpful and friendly.
Hadn’t received my tags in the mail so walked in with a change of address form. Had to fill out another form to get replacement tags & registration card. All in all I was literally bakc on the road 15 mins later and there was no one in the «appointment» line however the walk in s line was out there door. :(
Make an appointment people!
