I made the appointment and visited this facility glitch free. No problems
The website says that you close at 2:00 on Saturday but you actually close at 12:00. That needs to be corrected.
Went to Lake Zurich facility, by appointment, twice and met with three different representatives. I have a unique situation as I purchased/financed an automobile in AZ and need IL license plates. I brought tons of documents but was told that unless the bank sent my title to IL Secretary of State that they could not/would not help me. Nobody offered me any alternative solutions. Conversely, I went to the Woodstock facility twice last week in one day AND Rob and Anna were wonderful and could not have been more helpful, offering me a temporary solution, including temporary plates, giving me time to research and remedy the situation.
What an amazing experience with these folks. Special thanks to Rob and Anna as I was there twice yesterday. I went to another office twice before deciding to go to Woodstock. First office not very helpful. Without going into a lot of detail, these two individuals were beyond helpful. Suffice to say, I would not be driving my car today without their care and assistance.
My wife and I visited the DMV office in Galesburg to get our state ID's. This was the nicest, friendliest DMV we have ever been too. The staff was excellent and made the process almost enjoyable! Thank you for a great experience.
