Maria and Dorothy were the best. Maria helped me to get in at my appointment time. She really was nice to me. Dorothy was so kind to my mom when she was getting her license renewed. She explained everything in precise detail of what we had to do to get her vision checked by the doctor since mom did not pass the eye exam. Turlock DMV has been nice every time to me and my family read more

I came in for an M1 permit test, and the two people that helped me were super nice and friendly. I don't know what's up bad reviews unless I just got them on a good day but they were really nice. read more

This place is awful Canceling my test because the passenger seat recliner didn't work is absolutely ridiculous read more

If I could give 0 stars I would!!! The workers are extremely rude and unprofessional, especially the drivers instrcutors. I do NOT recommend coming here for any sort of appointment!!! read more

My mother came into the dmv to renew her license and the lady helping her was rude and disrespectful making rude comments and asking her for her residence card. My mom had all her information to renew her license but she refused to help her.. we even completed the form online and she said it was not her problem. Where is the customer service? You guys need to do better at the way you treat and help others. The dmv is already stressful enough. read more

I never write reviews like this, but I came here recently. Be aware of who you get. Just go somewhere else. I wanted to give this DMV a chance, but, the examiner for the drivers test is a total B!tch. Her name is Maria, even my parents had a off vibe with her. I knew from these other reviews about her, but believe them guys, she will fail you for such a small thing and does not give chances. I like to give people chances, she looks mean, so i wanted to give hera chance and hope she isnt rude. WRONG! She probably isnt married with the way she speaks or acts. She needs some good dih and maybe she'll start passing people on their first test. read more

Best DMV for sure fast easy everyone is nice . No issues ! Ask for Denise she is the sweetest

When I took my driving test, the examiner, a woman, seemed truly fed up with life--unhappy and expressionless. She spoke in a very commanding tone and, despite not making any mistakes, she kept instructing me to turn right , repeatedly for about two minutes. At the end of those two minutes, she claimed I didn't check my mirrors, even though I've been a licensed driver for six years. As someone who is new to the U.S., it was clear from my appearance, accent, and foreign status that I was being discriminated against. I've tried this DMV three times, and each time, they've failed me for completely unreasonable reasons. The employees are careless, unqualified, and, frankly, racist. To understand this, you'd need evidence, but unfortunately, you're not allowed to use any cameras or recording devices during the driving test. While I can't provide proof, I can confidently say this: if you're a foreigner like me, with an accent and less conventional looks, you're almost guaranteed to fail. Before my test, I even saw them pass a 17-year-old who couldn't park straight. No further comment. This is truly a terrible local DMV with unprofessional staff. Save your time and take your driving test elsewhere. read more

Was talked to like a 3rd grader right off the bat. The lady was rude, loud, obnoxious, and impatient. This DMV has a goal to make sure nothing gets done. I'm pretty sure out of the 40 people I watched walk out, maybe 2 had their issues resolved. This place needs a re-staff or a better system. read more

Excellant! I have a mild handicap and the gentleman who checked me was so kind. When I was called who waited on me explained I needed a different copy of our marriage license to get my real ID. read more

Everytime I visit this dmv I am reminded why I avoid it. I have lived in Turlock all my life but avoid this location like the plague because of the terrible customer service. The employees here clearly know they are the only game in town and boy do they act like it. read more

I went here to take my driving test and the instructor, Maria, who everyone complained about was my instructor. I was thinking "oh I know how to drive this will be easy", No, Maria does not know how to give clear instructions on the road and seems like she hates her life and everyone around her. She's a terrible instructor and she doesn't know what she's doing. Now I gotta do my whole entire process over again. Don't even bother going to Turlock DMV, Maria is going to fail you. read more

I remember taking my DMV driving exam months prior before writing this and keep in mind I'm experienced for my age of a young adult, I was driving an SUV and failed because I supposedly made "wide turns" when I was positive I would for sure hit parked cars on the side if I made them any tighter!! But for the final blow and what got under my skin was my examiner staff purposely failing me because I was literally making sure to look both ways once the light had turned green and she said I took too long when my vehicle was at a halt less than 1 second after it turned green!! It was bizarre because my friend told me his encounter of doing the exact same thing at this DMV to every single one of his stop lights similarly just to show caution and somehow he passed but I didn't!! Then immediately as I got into the parking gap my instructor was shouting and sounded extremely rude over the way she seemed to not have a bad day!! These staff can be very picky and too strict based on what I have been told and I literally passed immediately as I took my business elsewhere! read more

I went in to get a real id, no appointment, the gentleman behind the counter was so polite and helpful. When you're prepared for a long grueling wait and it turns into a quick pleasant experience, that's some grade A customer service. I wish I knew his name but thank you sir! read more

I do not recommend this DMV for driving tests. Everyone else was great apon check-in. However, Maria, I believe, was miserable. She was down right rude, not helpful at all. My daughter was extremely happy and prepared for her behind the wheel exam. Maria, if you care or read these things, you are in a position to make this a positive experience, failure or not, and from our experience today you failed miserable. I hope this DMV looks at all the negative comments about her and rethinks the position of this employee. read more

Veronica lives up to the terrible customer service CA DMV is famous for. But being that it's Californias DMV she'll probably get a promotion. read more

Whoever works the appointment line that handicapped can use when my friend went today was completely disrespectful and rude ! She accused my friend of not being handicapped cuz they "didn't look handicapped". Not all disabilities are easy to see! Can't believe they were so disrespected here! Absolutely horrible person! read more

4/02 @4pm. The Beezy with greyed Karen cut at the non appointment line was super rude and not helpful. Turned away when I asked questions then proceeded to call the next person, completely ignoring me. I got back in line and she barely helps with any information to my questions. read more

Never take behind the wheel test here !!!!!! NEVER!!! The lady who tested me was so rude and hating, she lie about my test saying I did not turn my head BUT I SWEAR I DID !!!!! My friend got her before and he said she was very unprofesional and love the fail people, if you see Maria is testing you, just go home since she is lie to make you fail. It will be better to have camera and record inside and outside so MARIA will not able to lie !!!!!! read more

Very disappointed in Turlock dmv!! My husband went to tag our Tahoe and we had called dmv prior to going to dmv and talk to a representative who told us to ask for a hardship because he was out of work for awhile and we didn't get the notices for awhile and soon as he asked the lady automatically was very rude he she says you knew better and made him pay almost 800$ don't even wanna hear what he had to say!! This happened this morning Turlock dmv.He was the very first person in line in the rain since 8am and for her to act that way. read more

i am unsure of any names but every single employee i've encountered here is extremely and unnecessarily rude. i took my behind the wheel test today (8/26) and there was only one examiner. i never got her name but she failed me for something i wasn't at fault for & had the audacity to say she 'had to intervene' when it wasn't the case at all. when me and my dad went inside to finish, we asked the lady with the grey hair at the non appointment line where we were supposed to go, because honestly the layout is confusing and overwhelming. she had the audacity to make a mean and extremely unnecessary comment towards my dad to another person in line. very unprofessional. read more

Maria the driving instructor needs to be fired. She has failed my son 3 times on his behind the wheel test for the most ridiculous reasons. I decided to do some research on this woman and wasn't surprised to find numerous reviews about her online saying she is notorious for failing people, not to mention how horrible she makes people feel afterwards. I will not subject my son to take another road test with her as the instructor. Turlock dmv I hope you are reading the many reviews people have left about how horrible this woman is. I don't like leaving negative reviews but, in this case, I had to. Please do something about this. I get some people aren't going to pass their test, but to nit-pick about things so you can fail them is NOT ok. All the reviews I have read about this woman are spot on. read more

rude very rude and they seem to not care about anything but going home. if they dont want to work they should not be there plain & simple. very disappointed in the service me and my family experienced. read more

Updated building. Usually long lines wrapped around the building. This office ia pretty busy. Came here to apply and take tests for my drivers license. Limited parking spots. Gets busy here after standard work hours and during summer as kids get their licenses. Turlock needs more DMV offices l to reduce wait times and congestion. read more

Everybody hates going to the DMV, we all know that. That makes for cranky people, which, as a DMV employee, has to be difficult to deal with. I had an appointment for the following day, but I went in a day early and in the afternoon to see if I could get it done. When I got there, I was able to check in online, which was faster than checking in with the lady at the information spot. I only waited about 20 minutes before my number was called. I wish I got the name of the guy who helped me because he was awesome! He was super friendly, had a great sense of humor and kept me laughing! He made the experience painless. I hope I see him the next time I have to go in there. read more

I had an appointment. The entire process was less than 30 minutes. The service reps were friendly and professional.

Do not take your driving test here. She Failed my son after 5 mins because he refused to speed around vehicles going slower than 45mph. He was going with the flow of traffic. She only made 2 marks on his sheets and told home to go back. She made him turn around after the first right turn. Maria is cold hearted and craps on peoples hopes and dreams. She should be ashamed of herself. read more

Today Shanna help me, she was super nice and helpful, DMV need more employees like her. Thank you Shanna read more

I had the best experience here this past week and was in and out so quickly I almost forgot I was in a DMV. Yes I had an appointment but I showed up early by accident two hours early explained that once they couldn't find me in their appointment system and the kind gentleman helped me anyway. I've been at the mercy of other DMV employees before who have shown no empathy or compassion and who have behaved poorly turning me or another away for such a mistake. As a matter of fact my number was called so fast that when I got up to use the restroom super fast my number was called so when I appeared at the front desk I lucked out and got the manager. I explained to her about the number being called and the restroom fiasco and she immediately directed me to an unbelievably kind employee who was pleasant and so helpful she assisted me above and beyond what I came in for. Now truth be told I did have to wait over 1 month for this appointment but now I see it was worth waiting for. P S: They have an overhead announcement speaker system in place that announces even outdoors the number being served. Streetside and parking lot parking available and free. read more

DMV Turlock - Departments of Motor Vehicles Near Me - Turlock, California

Went for title transfer. It took 20 minutes from when I got there to when I left. They were very helpful.

Don't ever go here lol. Manager is SUPER rude and so are the driving instructors! They just want you to fail!!! Worst place to go to.

Today I had occasion to go to the DMV Turlock and found that my experience was amazing. I had a somewhat complex issue to be solved, and found that my wait time was only a few minutes (in fact, using the "get in line" feature on their website caused me to be second in line, faster than I could drive there! I drove to the office, re-entered the line and found that my wait was but a few minutes. Observing others in the place, it seemed like few if any took advantage of the online resources to cut their time. My previous visits to this office, years ago were also good, so I ranked as I did. I did take one star for the lack of supervision of those going over to the testing area, as I watched one guy walk by in front of several clerks, holding TWO cell phones in one hand (wish I had that much coordination). He was with another man, and both went up to the computer terminal and may have been using these to take the test. (there was a sign above said no cell phones and no resources allowed. Clearly these guys were collaborating. Oh well, I am sure it's not the first time (that hour/day/week/month...) read more

Veronica was very helpful. There was a miscommunication the first time my mom came in with my son, but she clarified all documents needed and got everything processed the same day, including my license renewal. Would prefer to see all employees approachable and friendly since it is serving customer because most employees look like they don't even wanna be there. A simple smile and how are you goes a long way! read more

The last two times I've had to go into the Turlock DMV office have been surprisingly painless. Both gentlemen who helped me on those occasions were kind, personable and professional. My attitude has been forever changed towards the DMV! read more

Veronica on window number 4 is a very rude person. She has discriminated against me multiple times and has no respect at all. She asked for some documents on my phone which I pulled up and handed to her as she was returning my phone She purposely dropped my phone and gave me a nasty look. She became more aggressive in her speech as I was leaving. Just a rude person who has no self respect . read more

Yes friendly clean and much quicker than the one in modesto. Just miss how it use too be a hidden gem. Still can get out rather quickly though. read more

I've been to this DMV location for three times for my behind the wheel exam. The first examiner was unkind and appeared like she hated her job. The second examiner was very helpful and helped me fix minor errors. This third time I had Michelle as my examiner. I had previously read on Yelp that Michelle was a bitch and I was a bit hesitant to somehow get whoever Michelle was. My first encounter with Michelle was nothing but great. You can tell she enjoys what she does and isn't out to fail but rather put the driver at ease. Bitch Michelle as some of the reviews have mentioned is the best examiner at this DMV. read more

I went in for a behind-the-wheel test and got examiner #22, Maria. She seemed like she was having a bad day and/or just hates her job. Very panicky/stress-inducing when giving instructions as well. Not calm at all. Made an unnecessary intervention after I attempted to follow an instruction she had abruptly directed me to do. Failed me for it. At the end of the test in the parking lot, she proceeded to deduct additional points to my evaluation even though we had stopped the test already. Seems like she wanted insurance in case I contested her unnecessary intervention / poor instructions. The whole of California DMV has around ~68% pass rate for behind-the-wheel test, but Turlock DMV has ~51%. The examiners are the reason for this. Go to a different DMV to get a calm instructor who knows what they're doing. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. DO NOT TAKE YOUR BEHIND THE WHEEL TEST HERE THEY WILL FAIL YOU ON PURPOSE JUST FOR THE LAUGHTER AND ENJOYMENT. The lady was extremely rude she never told me her name. But she wasn't paying attention or instructing me correctly at all. There all unprofessional and rude asf. & about the window thing it's only 2 windows you gotta roll down not 4 they make there own rules. read more

Out of all the nearby DMVs, this one is the WORST. Long wait times, always packed, equipment is old and malfunctions constantly, and it smells. Also with the Real ID, make sure there are no smudges at all on your documents because you will get screwed on how strict they are. Try another DMV and make the drive. read more
