6-18-24 Yes that's…read moreright I am reviewing the DMV. A government agency that in the end wasn't as painful as you would expect. Thus the review to share my experience. First off I just moved to South Carolina. You have 45 days to change your license, registration and title. This is no easy feat on top of moving and unpacking. So you start at the Ridgeland Court House and you have to pay them tax to have your car here. You bring your license registration bills in your new address and a passport on your name. All names need to match. You pay them they give you receipt they send you a bill to pay the tax annually. Next you head here to the location for everything else. So we start with the drivers license you fill out a form, show you paid the tax and they have you take an eye exam. Now this is why they earned four stars as they were very patient as I tried to figure out what was in the view master. Let's just say that the glasses I wear are only needed for reading not driving thankfully. You then get your photo taken and they take your old license after you sign a release. Next up and visit, I have to bring my title and they take it and send you a South Carolina title in the mail. Now they need the actual title so you can get the car registered and they give you your new license plate. Note a couple of important items both license and registration is done at this location. Also bring a check or cash to avoid additional fees. Yes they will take your out of state check from where you just moved from. Limited photos in my review, as I didn't want to get thrown out for taking pictures in a government building. Wait times here are very little in and out in 30 minutes no appointment needed

From the moment I walked in, everything felt organized and efficient. The clerk who helped me was incredibly kind, patient, and genuinely helpful. She walked me through the process, answered my questions without making me feel rushed, and made what could have been a stressful errand surprisingly easy. It's not every day you leave a tag office in a good mood, but the customer service here really made the difference. Big shoutout to the staff for being so welcoming and professional. If you need anything title or tag related in Savannah, this office made the process smooth and painless.

I have seen SCDMV go through many iterations and locations and I believe this location at this time is doing a great job. You start waiting in a line to learn which line you should be in. I know. At this point though they have it worked out pretty well and today the person at this first line was able to help me (turn in plates of a sold vehicle) so I don't have to wait in another line!

If there is one place on this earth worse than hell, it's the DMV. For a little background I've…read morelived in Kansas City Kansas, Charlotte NC and most recently Austin TX and of course I've had to deal with vehicle issues in all those states. With that in mind and giving away the ending up front, Summerville DMV is the worst in many ways. First off, the people there are fairly nice so I have no issue with them however that's where the pleasantries cease. In Texas the DMV takes max 30 minutes. My 3 times at the Summerville DMV has taken an average of over 2 hours. In fact, besides Weds, they open at 8:30 am and I get there 30 minutes early to a line already wrapped around the building. That's right, 30 minutes early and you're late. Next up a small tip, before going visit the website and print/fill out all your paperwork up front. I will say this process could be sped up if this part was automated and could be finished online, but I digress. After finally getting a number, be prepared to sit or stand as seating can be limited. This will take at least another hour. The next issue I have is the state nickel and diming us everyway they can (vote wisely people). For context, a license in SC cost $25 where as TX is $10. After moving here I had to switch my plates out. Plates in TX are $20 when I moved there, here it's $350. I asked the lady, what the heck the costs are for and she explained to me: This supports freeway infrastructure (FREE way?), the plate, the county and sales tax. That is by far the most expensive I've had in the other 3 states I have lived in. Also note Texas doesn't have state income taxes..... Next up two of my visits the agents had computer crashes, in fact the last time I went the lady told me her computer crashed twice before it crashed on me, thus having to redo the process. This was another slowdown that should be addressed and considering they get so much money for services they don't provide new computers should be a no brainer. Finally, I think they have a staffing issue as they have approximately 30 stations and they're never more than 2/3 filled. In my opinion put a body at each terminal and get more people in and out quickly. Overall, I don't think it's fair for me to grade SC DMV vs other states b/c, and I'm going to be brutally honest here, SC processes and standards have always stunk (lived here before I moved to other states). But what I can judge on are inefficiencies and price gouging that occur. While there are other DMV options I feel it will be much the same so we're kind of stuck as this is what was voted for. I'm not saying anything new so I'll end up with this; I hate the SC DMV.

However, the downside was that the line at the DMV was very long. What contributed to the long queues is that folks came in unprepared, holding up the line. While I understand that that is the nature of the DMV, it doesn't mean it has to be this way! I hope that staff will look into optimizing their operations like how the DMV in Ladson did, which is asking each person in line what they need assistance with before they ever reach their seats or stations.

Plus I'm already familiar with this location so I drove a little further to come here. I did end up waiting 20 minutes or so for my turn, put the numbers were moving quickly.
