I have lived in many states, and have had negative experiences with privatized tag agencies…read moreelsewhere. I was relieved to find this process straightforward and relatively painless. The process here seemed quite effecient. (it is odd that in Washington, the actual state DMV offices do driver licenses, but you have to go to private tag agencies for tags...or tabs...whatever we call them here) Everyone here was friendly. The line was out the door in the a.m. on a Sat., but it moved along pretty quickly. Please do everyone a favor and do as much research as you can before showing up. And just be cool while you wait. Bring your best energy. We're all in this together, people. No joke, there was a guy ahead of me who was selling like 2 boats and a motorcycle the next day ( a Sunday) and he couldn't find the titles...and he was making it their problem. Seriously, dude? Eariler in the week, I called ahead to get an estimate on what I needed to pay. I did as much research online as I could also. A real person answered the phone and gave me a pretty high number. They quoted a vehicle with a higher trim level than mine, just to be on the safe side. If I recall, I kinda got a little prickly on the phone because Washington taxes you on the value of your vehicle (excise tax), even though you paid for it already a long time ago. What the hell? it's basically as sales tax you pay over and over again. Doesn't matter what you call it. Even though I was noticeably irritated, the person at Rainier was cool about it and didn't push back, which is the usual response in any other context. I brought cash, which seems to be the way to go. I've heard there is an extra charge for credit cards ( but don't know that for a fact). I ended up paying less than what they estimated earlier. in conclusion, do the research, call ahead if you have questions, go on Sat. a.m., and chillax while you wait. The kind and professional folks at Rainier Vehicle and Vessel Licensing will take care of you. Just remember...it could be much, much worse.

Best experience in all my years of driving. Customer service was beyond expectations. The lady that…read morehelped me was so nice and answered all my questions, without hesitation.

EASTSIDE AUTO LICENSING @ KIRKLAND…read more Parking is available right out front, and it doesn't get too packed, so you'll be able to find a spot pretty easily. My dad and I came around 10:30 AM, and since the line didn't look too long, we assumed we'd be helped pretty quickly. To check in, there's only one entrance and two screens where you put your name and phone number, then sit and wait. They also have a TV that shows your estimated wait time. My dad's estimate was about nine minutes, but 15 minutes went by and we noticed some of the staff just standing around or going into the break room without returning for a while. The place suddenly got very busy, and there were only two workers handling everyone. Once it was finally our turn, the guy who helped us was nice, but he took a long time assisting other people, which slowed everything down even more. Overall, I'd recommend coming really early in the morning or going to a different location if you have the option. My dad didn't enjoy his experience, the workers weren't very kind, and the service was extremely slow. The ticket for renewing your car license was about $238!

Awesome service and efficient process here! I was tired of going to the Bel-Red Auto License in the…read morecrossroads mall as it's always a slow process and they are extremely rude for no reason and reading reviews they are closed a lot during open business hours so I wasn't wasting my time or gas with that hassle. Eastside Auto Licensing is easy to get to off the freeway with a free large parking lot offering even a drive thru pick up window if you renewed tabs online! Upon entering a large sign directs you to the two computers for check in process putting you in line or checking into your appointment. You enter name, phone number, and the reason for your visit. I got there an hour after opening on a Monday and it was empty. I waited 2 minutes in the comfy seating admiring the clean and well organized lobby. My name and phone number was called out on a speaker directing me to a desk with available employee. Elijah helped me and was quick, kind, helpful, clear, and well spoken. I appreciated getting my tabs in less than 5 minutes and receiving tips on tab application process. :) I highly recommend Eastside Auto Licensing and would most definitely return here!
