    The DMV a a study in people with a little power It appears…read moreto me the goal of these people that work here is How can we make this the most difficult for the people coming for help We moved to Pittsburgh we love Pittsburgh except for the folks at this DMV They will clearly look through all your paper work trying really hard to find something wrong which from seeing the people on the line they usually do They take great pride in finding something wrong or something they can't read And with a sick smile they will say we can't process this

    i Just moved from NY and went to the closest DMV which was 708 Smithfield…read more I walked in and was greeted very friendly by two guards or ticket persons that asked why i was here and gave me a ticket. The office is tiny in comparison to New York DMV's. There were 3 people working behind the counter. They were moving like turtles and there was only literarily about 10 people before me and i sat and waited about 90 minutes. After that wait I went up to the counter only to be greeted by the rudest gentlman ever. I already had all my papers filled out and had passport and old drivers license. Then there were two issues and the guy was not nice about either of the two problems. here is the question hat is on the form Other than the one you are surrendering, are you in possession of any valid Driver's License/Photo ID from any other state or licensing jurisdiction? I took that to mean do you have any other photo id that you are not turning in other than drivers license. I have other picture id not related to drivers license. The guy was very rude and said you answered yes and you have to mark it as no??? i explained i understood it to mean any other sort of photo id. He said he did not care what I thought only what it meant to him. So I crossed out the yes and changed to a no. Second issue I have had the same Social Security card for 50 some odd years, when I was young my parents laminated it and at some point I took possession of it when I was older. The guy at the DMV said thiis is no good and can not be accepted can't you read the form says no laminated ss cards. To be honest i never looked at form but the website just says social security card does not say must be unlamented????. I then after almost 2 hours had to leave and then go to the Social Security office to get a new social security card. What a waste i would never go back to that DMV again the person was a real jerk and could of been nice about the issues instead of being a total jerk. Do not go to this location unless you want to be treated like crap. One star is to much to give this location unfortunately I have to give them something, But they deserve negative stars.

    I came to renew my driver's license (real id) with a new picture…read more I came prepared with my camera card. Parking here is a cinch with a huge shopping center parking lot available. There was one person ahead of me for the first line. I was waited on by a friendly gentleman, given a number and instructions where to wait. I waited maybe 15 minutes until my number was called then sat for my photo. I was asked if it was ok. It was (well, ya know, good enuff for a mug shot). I signed something before or after, I don't recall which. The gentleman taking the photo explained that because it was a real id renewal, it would come by mail in about 15 days and, in the meantime, he gave a receipt and my camera card back to use in the meantime. That was it. In and out in under half an hour. This location has always served me well, especially the time it takes and everyone who works here has always been pleasant.

    This office is the busiest PennDOT customer service center in the state of Pennsylvania, according…read moreto PennDOT. It is a large facility, but all of the staff that we met were extremely helpful, courteous, knowledgeable, efficient, and professional. Despite there being a lot of customers in front of us when we arrived, the waiting time was shorter than we expected. The waiting area is clean and fairly comfortable and the restrooms were very clean. Also, there are a lot of restaurants and other businesses nearby if one wishes to access other services in the area before or after visiting this PennDOT customer service center. Compared to other PennDOT customer service centers in Pennsylvania that I have visited, this office far exceeded my expectations.

    While I think PA is NUTS for privatizing government-required services like car registration,…read moretitling and emissions -- given the private sector fattens their wallets by more than doubling the actual costs (while in other states the cost is the cost -- no fat), Jack Maggs is one of the least expensive options among the ones I called. Note that most don't publicly advertise their price, which seems to be part of the big hoax -- making it a lot of work to research a more viable option. But when I'm feeling scammed like PA makes me feel as a transplant who has lived in five other states, I do my homework. Jack Maggs was a bit lower than the one that claims to price match (but was closer so -- mileage saved). They were a ten spot or so lower than AAA if you pay in cash, and significantly less than the place right near Bridgeville Licensing. At $222 for a new title, registration and plate, the amount still caught me off guard but I was more comfortable knowing they were less greedy than some of there others -- and super fast and thorough with great customer service to boot, Bottom line: Stick with the one that balances great service with a competitive price. Oh, and write your dang legislators so they take the private middle people out of government required services so you aren't gouged so deeply and in such a regressive manner. Other states charge by the value of your car... which is progressive. Get on board with what's fair! [the rant continues] Also emissions -- many states have seen the impact of these wane, and again, this cost is regressive and, when it costs twice as much here as Philly, wtf is going on. Calling around I got a range of $38 to $107 so far, and no one bats an eye -- but you should. For a "cheap" city per internet research, the costs are mighty high compared to "expensive" states like WA that even the score with salaries that are higher and state income tax that is non-existent.

    The location of Jack Maggs Agency is off the beaten path. Despite having an appointment, we had to…read morewait, only to find out we didn't have all the necessary paperwork. The services took too long to be completed.
