Horrible service. Inaccurate pricing on website. What I saw was $10 they said is $85 and told me tough luck even though they saw that their website did not say that price.

In line at 8:30AM, done before 9AM. Impressive does not even begin to describe how effective and organized they were. This happens every time I go, my helper was a little cold but I did get her to laugh, score.

Madison is excellent at customer service and very knowledgeable. She went above and beyond to ensure I had a good experience. She was attentive, listened to my concerns and provided great service.

If I could give negative stars I would. I’ve called ten times today alone and countless other times trying to speak to someone about my registration and have been hung up on every single time while being on hold for at least 15 minutes each time. What a joke.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

My son is buying a car for the first time. I have a tag that expired yrs ago.. Can he use that tag ? I never turned it in. I still have it . And if he cant use it what will it cost him to get tag and transfer title

Wonderful Planked (WonderfulPlanked) | Aug 27, 2019
Mark Clifford | Aug 27, 2019

No, since he will be purchasing his own car he will need to get his own plate. The initial plate fee is going to run around $225.00, then he will be paying 85.75 for the title transfer plus the registration for the year [which the price depends on the weight of the vehicle]. So a bit over $300 for everything, without seeing the exactly paperwork, weight, etc, That's at least an estimate
