Which one has the more incompetent , dumbest , laziest motherfuckers working there ?

Emissions testing has been pretty painless the last few times, so DMV.

The DMV isn't great, but they also are constrained by the people in line being idiots too.

DMV and it's not even close.

i do like that at least at the Markham one, they have a side scam where you can go get your plate tag right then and there at the building next door...for like a 15$ service fee . Fuck that shit

Waukegan does the same thing. I'm a fan.

you like giving the SOS 15$ for no reason ?

Not sure how it works there but for emissions , watch out - if you have your check engine light on it fails automatically.

Wow. Thanks for the heads up. I guess this is why you are the Observer.

You can get plate stickers at a currency exchange for a fee, but its less than $15.

You can also renew online via electronic check for $0 in fees.

True. I laugh at the people who show up with none of the required documents or IDs. One guy in front of me said his boss gave him his truck as a bonus and he needed to change the title....yet had no proof of sale (or "bonus"), no title, nothing. The clerk asked him for an ID, he had none. She finally asked if he had any proof he worked for the company, such as a business card. He had nothing.

renewal online takes like 2 minutes
and i think the fee (for credit card) might be like 2 or something . Vs. 15
The only reason i could see going somewhere to get it instantly is if you cannot wait the 2 weeks or so for it be mailed to you if it is danger of expiring. Or already expired.

I brought in a previously salvaged vehicle that had a lien on it and the previous title was out of state.

Yeah the DMV is a disaster mostly because of the patrons. it always seems if you have your shit together, the people behind the counter are very nice and glad you are there.

Ours now has kind of a goalie. she will not let you in a line unless you have everything you need.

I brought in a previously salvaged vehicle that had a lien on it and the previous title was out of state. There wasn't room on the online form for all the information and she had to whip out the carbon copy form and mail it to the state. it took a while but everyone I worked with was very nice. We laughed at the whole ridiculousness of what we were doing. she said she hadn't filled one of these out in 5 years.

Also the amount of old people failing written tests is just unbelievable to me.
