I highly recommend La Casita! I recently visited to register my out-of-state vehicle and was greeted by Fran. She was friendly, knowledgeable, and very helpful through the whole process. She even responded to a follow-up question I sent via email within the hour. Excellent customer service from start to finish! read more

Recently I was transferring my registration to California from out-of-state, and rather than attempting the DMV which didn't have an available appointment for the next 6 weeks, I decided to give La Casita a shot. Fran was incredibly helpful and walked me through the entire process and everything that I'd need to do. At one point, I thought I'd need to drive back to the dealer to get an emissions sticker, but Fran went out of her way to help me track it down and save me a frustrating (and likely costly) trip. She actively worked to make my experience more seamless, and that's not something I'd normally think I'd say having left the DMV! Highly recommended! read more

Fran is a superstar. I was clueless about my vehicle registration process and she helped me SO much and always with a smile. This is an amazing place and saves so much trouble. The hours are friendly to those that work office hours so I went after work (after 6pm) on three different evenings! Highly recommend Fran if you're local and value customer service and your time since it was sooooo much quicker! Thank you, Fran. read more

Thank you Francesca for everything! Your services helped save everyone time, money and a headache. You're an angel!

Beats the DMV any day of the week. Close, fast, friendly. An effortless exchange. Well worth the small service fee to renew my registration. Thank you La Casita! read more

Fran is AMAZING!!! I've never had such a great experience at the DMV before. I had to get some paperwork done in-order to sell my car. There was no wait at all and she made it super easy. She TRULY has your best interest in mind if you're clueless when it comes to selling cars and the process. Her advice saved me so much time. read more

Best vehicle registration ever! Small fee to avoid the huge headache of going to the DMV. They changed my address and gave me my registration papers and sticker on the spot. Wonderful customer service. Brilliant! read more

The most painless visit to transfer plates from out of state. We are ruined for life - never standing in line at the DMV again. Why do that when you can get fast, courteous, painless service with a smile? Love this place! read more

This place is the best. They helped with a title transfer and registration and is so much faster than the DMV. 15 min out the door with new tags in hand. Thank you! read more

I recently moved out of state and Fran made the entire process of title transfer & registration such a breeze! She is a breath of fresh air. I highly recommend this place and I'm so lucky I found it. read more

Easy parking. Fran seemed really knowledgeable. Way better than DMV. Call ahead to get details on documentation. Also, cash only so trip to ATM at 7 eleven in the same shopping center. Total time for title transfer. Less than 10 min. So worth it. They have a system direct to DMV. read more

I loved the weekend convenience of this place. My son and I had some registration/plate issues and the gal who waited on us was INCREDIBLE. Old school customer service, like it used to be. She was so patient with us, so knowledgeable and just plain nice and funny too. LOVE this place. read more

Just dont waste a day from work or your life let this company help you fast! no kidding...Out of state ? No problem ... read more

La Casita - Business Financing Near Me - Encinitas, California

So happy to find La Casita DMV in Leucadia! Before finding them, I searched available DMV appointment times (now 2 weeks out) and saw DMV's published wait times of more than 1 1/2 hrs at all local branches if no appointment. There had to be a better way... At La Casita, my transaction was smooth and easy. I can't imagine the challenges if I had gone to the DMV. I needed to transfer the title from out of state to California which required a vehicle verification inspection and lots of I's dotted and T's crossed. They did it all. I was walked through the process with ease. You pay for the service but there is no DMV hassle, return trips or exasperated looks from the counter agents. Thank you La Casita DMV! read more

Had a tricky registration issue that AAA told me I would have to go to the dreaded DMV to get handled. So I called La Casita and was told "no problem". Went over to their office it was taken care of in a matter of minutes! Great friendly service! A side note, it is cash only, which is fine but just be prepared to hit the ATM read more

This place saved my life! My registration was overdue due to the fact I just moved into town on the 1st I hadn't gotten around to doing my registration and title transfer from out of state until 10 days later. Francisca was BEYOND helpful. I went on a Saturday afternoon and had my new plates and and tags in hand in about 20 minutes. No line and very friendly and helpful! I will be coming back here next year when it is time to renew! CASH ONLY so bring enough with you or there conveniently is a 711 ATM right next door. 5 stars! read more

Incredibly fast and painless way to avoid the DMV. Great customer service to boot! I highly recommend La Casita. They helped me transfer title on a classic car and did it without the hassle and fear of the DMV...definitely will use them again. read more

Simply put Francisca made the whole process so smooth and easy! I highly recommend anyone who needs a title, registration and all of the other services that La Casita DMV Vehicle Registration offers, to go here. Francisca is very helpful and friendly! read more

This sure beats the DMV! I didn't have to wait for anyone and they were super friendly and efficient. All i needed was the title and smog test. It was fast and efficient. read more

For all of your registration needs come here! No lines and the sweetest staff. No need to go deal with the DMV. They are beyond helpful and even got in contact with the DMV for me so I did not have to wait on the phone. Highly recommend!!!!!! read more

I will get him a two and a half if I could but I'll throw a three in there. I got my truck registered there and I thank her for doing a service while this covid-19 is going around, I was also doing a transfer of title and the registered was paid by the previous owner but it expired on the 31st of March and today is April 7th. Not until after all the transaction was done I asked for this sticker which she even said would have been free if I would have told her, this isn't my job I don't know these things I guess you can only put it in one registration claim per vehicle per day so I'd have to come back tomorrow and pay her $75 charge for doing anything for the DMV just to get a replacement sticker. I mean I did my service is through her she could have been cool and let me come back and get it the next day or you know have gone back in the room where they have piles of them in an envelope and given it to me and acted like it happen the way it was supposed to. But no she wants her $75 for a sticker that was supposed to be free you know a car that's out of registration you think a question would be do you need a sticker once again the consumer is punished for the sellers mistake. read more

Buying a new car is expensive and painful but fortunately going to La Casita takes all the worries out of the registration process. There is an extra fee ($50-100 depending on in state or out of state I believe), but for the time and effort you save waiting in line around all of the frustrated people at the DMV, it's worth it. Bring whatever cash you need (they only take cash), and just pass your forms over the counter, and what would be a multi-hour, depressing trip to the DMV is all taken care of in minutes -- plates, stickers, everything. If you're dreading a trip to the DMV and don't have time to deal with all of those headaches, La Casita is for you. read more

We were in the middle of moving and had to transfer our car registrations from my partner's parents to us. We thought we were in for a long & exhausting wait at the DMV but we found this place online. The lady who helped us was efficient and polite and we had no issues getting our paperwork done. She explained things clearly and we were done in less than twenty minutes. Way better than the hours-long DMV wait we were anticipating. There is an additional fee but compared to the money we would have lost skipping work or the time we would have wasted waiting, it felt like a steal. Definitely recommend this place. :) read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. The woman that helped me has the upmost best customer service. IF YOU WANT TO STAY AWAY FROM LINES AT THE DMV GO HERE!!! Quick & easy! I was in and out. Thank you for tending to my needs and being so understanding. I cannot express the gratitude I have for this place. Extremely helpful. I will be coming back every year. Thank you so much read more

Super easy, no line, and Francisca is very helpful and kind. You do pay for the convenience, but if you're in a tight spot, I think it's worth it. read more

Amazingly fast and courteous. Thank you so much for making getting a renewed registration painless.

For anyone whose schedule conflicts with DMV hours, or would just rather not subject themselves to the monotony of waiting in line, La Casita is a convenient and super efficient way for registering your vehicle. I came here to transfer/register a new vehicle and was in and out in less than 15 minutes. I was also able to come here on a weekend; their schedule is very accommodating to anyone who works during normal business hours. Highly recommended! read more

I was in and out of there within 5 minutes. I wasn't able to renew my car registration online so I went here to avoid the dmv. So easy, so kind. Highly recommended. read more

Super easy way to register your car!!! I needed to renew my late registration and was confused when this location came up (because of the name) but I gave it a try and am soooo happy I did! I walked right up and they helped me out with NO WAIT! Just make sure to bring cash :) read more

I came to La Casita based on their great Yelp reputation and general good vibe from this local small business. I was looking to register my new vehicle and had gotten some bad/misleading information from the dealership. Francisca at La Casita was a godsend. She patiently explained what I did (and didn't need to do) set me straight ... basically gave me friendly, sound advice that the dealership should have provided. I left without spending any money with La Casita. But thanks to this experience, I'm going to do all my future registration and renewal business with Francisca and La Casita - which should be a good bit with teenage daughters coming of age :-/ ... I highly recommend La Casita. Excellent service. Honest, sound, local small business. read more

If like all persons of average sensibilities you view a visit to the DMV office as more demeaning than a digital rectal exam, then this is the place for you. It will cost you an extra $30. For that, you will walk out the door with your renewed registration four minutes after you walked in. read more
