The first line I got in was very long and stretched outside the building. They need to have more automated machines at this location for people to transact their business. The staff could have been friendlier as well.

Everything was normal until I went for my behind-the-wheel driving test at a previously booked time. The DMV representative couldn't find my name on the scheduled list, so after waiting for a month, I left without taking the test.
