Open Saturdays till 5pm. Need I say more. Go later as the mornings are nuts
Quick service despite being pretty busy. Ginger is fantastic! The best DMV to go to in the area no doubt! (People, even employees, can frequently be spotted smiling, laughing no less. This is a special kind of DMV.)
Good place to shop for travel related gear all consolidated in 1 place especially luggage, bags and backpacks for more upscale travel.
They are open on Saturday. Awesome!
I'm not sure what everyone is complaining about. My friend recommended this one to me for my vehicle needs. I used to go to the DMV on Chicago ave in Minneapolis, or the one in the government center, and they both take forever. After one visit to this location, I will NEVER, EVER, set foot in either one of those again!!! At this location, everyone, very clearly and plainly, speaks english. There are no communication problems, so the line moves quickly. I've never had to wait more than 10 minutes. The staff is courtious to me. Like most customer service people, they're only rude to you if you're rude to them first. If you think this one takes too long, try the two that I used to go to and you'll come back to AAA kissing their feet.
Great personalized service.
Queue system sucks. Sat for an hour and thirty minutes while at least 20 people who arrived AFTER me went ahead of me. Queue system does NOT take into account length of wait.
Why don't they have more people working at the counters? Why? There are multiple stations so it only makes sense that you actually have people at those stations.
I just got off the phone with Carrin L. From AAA and she was AMAZING! My husband forgot his international license in the US and we are in Italy for our honeymoon at a very secluded resort were having a rental car is important to go see the nearby towns, etc.. we tried having the license mailed to us but the postal service in Italy is not very reliable. Cari went through several files to find his hard copy for his application and approval, photo copied it and waited patiently on the phone until it went through via email and text message! Thank you so much Cari!!
They will try to show effort to work with you, but it is so busy that they just would rather go to the next customer. Go to the DMV in Golden valley. So much more friendlier service and it is faster!
I get my tags for my car there and this service is fast.. I was in and out 15 minutes
The concept of time disappears as soon as you walk in the door. I waited a half hour and didn't hear my queue move one number forward. Please figure out how to streamline things a little bit smoother/quicker. I wish I would have realized I could have ordered them online sooner.
This place is awful. Even though the people are nice, the wait is always close to an hour. When I called for information they also misinformed me so I ended up waiting an hour in the wrong department for nothing. Never going back after that experience.
Super fast.
BY FAR THE WORST EXPERIENCE IVE EVER HAD. After placing my call for help at 1:45pn I've been sitting at Ridgedale Mall for a battery jump - going on: Now 6 HOURS! My initial quote time was one hour. After not receiveing a call as promised or ETA text message from the driver I proceeded to call and follow up. After 70 minutes of multiple call hold times and disconnections I was able to get a lady on the phone who after saying there was nothing they could do then suggested They were hiring so if I wanted to help the problem I should apply. Couldn't even believe the customer service treatment. Blew me away. Thanks for nothing.
Good place to get tabs and license renewal.
My experience was very bad. They had a huge crowd and very few people working. I decided to leave and go elsewhere. I would see if you have other options.
Inclusive services to members and non members include insurance, a travel agency, DMV and a fabulous travel store with unique accessories including a huge inventory of Baggallinis.
Absolutely the worst DMV ever!!! I come here consistently because it is so close to where I live and I'm too busy to go anywhere else, but I swear EVERY time I come here I get rude service and misinformation. The misinformation leads to wasted time and the rude service make me want to kick myself in the ass every time I return, cause I know I'll always leave in a very bad mood. I vow this time I will not be back! I'd rather spend more gas and time going farther just to get good customer service. You will never get that here!
DMV functions seem friendly, responsive and capable. Travel Store service and deals are great!
You could be the only person in the room and it would take an hour to get a license. Go DT.
Hidden Gem. Most people don't know this is a DMV, so it's rarely busy. I was in and out in record time (during the afternoon though). Friendly staff, clean facility. Very satisfied
Great experience! Staff were friendly and very helpful.
I was there for a class and most everyone was pleasant
Good service. Quick. i like it.
Terrible experience. Misinformation from teller and manager led to wasted time, energy and money! Avoid this place at all cost! All you will get from this place is terrible service and a bunch of incompetent employees.
Lots of people but they were surprisingly fast ! Very polite staff
I have come to this DMV many times but today I had the BEST experience with Ginger. She was such a great person to talk to and was extremely knowledgeable. It was actually a great experience coming in today.
0 Stars! The worst customer service I have ever experienced from Loretta at the service desk. Seriously laughable!
Exceptional service from international agent Susan!
Extremely long wait times, waited over 2.5 hrs for a simple license renewal.
Got there before it opened. Waited 45 minutes before leaving; they hadn't processed the very first license renewal of the day and I had to do other things. They had free water and cookies, which, along with the quirky location, gets them one more star than they would've otherwise.
Went there on the 30th at 11:30 and waited 30 minutes for the renewal line to move 3 people with more than 20 ahead of me. So I left. They also co/mingle the lines so impossible to judge how long you have to wait. Similar situation several months ago for another transaction in terms of an hour to 1.5 wait time.
Mediocre experience, faster than molasses, slower than a hare though. Average in the most average way for a license service.
I have been here a few times and have always waited 30-45 minutes in line. The staff is slowwww.
Great facility, nice travel store and efficient dmv too!
Very helpful location. Ginger and a younger gentleman who was newer were fast and proficient. While the wait was long, it was much shorter then other locations in the metro. Will be going back for to this location for sure.
Found the DVM very helpful. I had a complicated situation and they assisted me to get it taken care of. The employee wrote down step by step what I needed to do to get my situation resolved, contacted the state to confirm some information, and then told me that if I came back that day with the information I needed, I would walk right up to her and she'd get it completed. When I returned the employee was on break but the person who sat next to her remembered me and took me right away. She completed the process. Though there was a bit of a wait initially, it was more than made up for in the knowledge and helpfulness of the employee's working there. I would highly recommend this office for DMV needs. They were way faster than Ridgedale and far more helpful.
this place is slow as hell..... you will die before you get out of here
Why is there not zero stars? This place generally has 4 people working and still only manages to serve one customer approximately every ten minutes no matter what time of the day you come here. And don't get me started on their nonsensical numbering system....
Staff was great both times I’ve been. Wait times can be long but I appreciate them not turning me away when I came 2 minutes before closing! Clean and quiet.
I had to renew my tabs around 11am on a Saturday and it was busy but the staff was helpful and moved as quickly as possible.
The best DMV I've been to.
Great place to get tabs... Quick and easy
I waited more than 3 hours for them to help me because my flat tire wasn't a "top priority" for them, without any updates from the company. The last 30 minutes were spent waiting after they said a truck had been discharged from a service station less than a mile away, so apparently it hadn't been.
More pleasant place to go get your license tabs or ID, even if it isn't necessarily quicker than the DMV's offices
If you're looking to wait here for 2 hours to get tabs for your car, your in the right place.
Usually as speedy and efficient as they can be in this situation. This time I sat there and watched as the gal clocked out for her 30 min lunch break and just left her whole line waiting there until she got back. That was rough.
They flat out do not care to help you. I understand being a clerk at the DMV is a stressful job. I understand people are not always kind of pleasant. That is not enough reason to justify treating people with such a blatant lack of respect and care. This is the kind of place that gives government workers a bad reputation.
I know this is hard to believe, but pretty efficient.
Waited in line for a half hour and they couldn't help me with my new license request since I'm from wi. I understand they can't predict everything but they could do something. Like have an attendant at the DMV area entrance to help with questions or explain what they can't do better on their Google listing or site. But, the service behind the counter was really friendly and apologetic.
Great customer service experience.
This place is very friendly, helpful and efficient. You can sit and chill while waiting instead of standing in long lines. By far the best place for auto reg. and license services.
Absolute garbage. Never spent so much time sitting in a DMV office. Over 2 hours for a license renewal. No sense of urgency on the part of any of the employees. I sympathize with them because it must be a terrible job, no one wants to be here, but my god. You’ve got to do better. Fill all the stations instead of only running half of them and pick up the pace.
Got my car registered in less than 20 minutes. Say that for a state DMV.
Wait time was extremely long and their ticket service had no rhyme or reason. Every employee had their own station serving a Letter say B and that would be driver licence renewals. Same for next and next letter would be for tabs and so on, from my observation i if an employee didn't have anyone at their window they didn't offer to help out with another letter they just waited for someone else to come in so they can help out with the letter that they were working with that day
The worst experience I’ve had renewing my license. I waited over an hour on a Tuesday. they called letter number combinations at random so you never knew when you were going to be called. Avoid this place if possible!
Slowest place on earth 2.5 hours to get tabs
I've been a member with AAA for 12 years and I called to get service today and they said they aren't taking service calls. I'm now stuck at the airport w/o a ride. Very very disappointing
Went in Saturday, around 10, place was packed, I was updating tabs. Understood the wait. Nothing to do but observe, and the team I watched was amazing, behind the desk. Smooth processing , calm, professional associates. The associate I ended up with my transaction, allowed a gentlemen to go back out to his car and retrieve needed documentation and come back to her station, without falling back in line, same individual ran out to return left items personally to a customer, she was above and beyond. When my turn came, she thanked on all forms being completed, I commented “what a crazy busy day”, she replied “this is not bad at all”. Did not catch her name, she hates spiders, and rocks her job!
Expect to wait over an hour for anyone to talk to you. Save yourself the time and make the drive to a different DMV location.
Friendliest place I've ever been to get license tabs, and you can buy travel gear at the same time!
The Google page isn't very clear, nor does the AAA website list this as a branch so I was a little confused. To clarify, 1/3 of the building is a DMV center filled with ornery people and the remainder is a AAA branch with the usual services, a travel shop, and helpful, friendly staff.
I came in the middle of a snow storm and I still had to wait for an hour and a half to renew my license. I read the reviews of this place but didn't expect the wait to be much more than any other DMV that I've been to. It was.
Webiste says they close at 5:30 PM, but, they don't pickup phone at 5:05 PM lol. Are we on Thai time in USA?
Extremely quick service, friendly employees, beautiful building! Found my new license renewal location!
Great place to waste an afternoon. If you have a cdl do not go here. It will also take all freaking day to get f ing tabs. Worthless.
Long wait times lately. Waited an hour and a half to renew a license
Been three different times because it’s close.... Never again. Always over an hour wait 0900AM, Lunchtime, Or 3pm.....plus they charge fee to use debit card...
Got in and out real fast. 1045 arrived out by 1105 for license renewal. Very professional and worked fast.
I'm a long standing AAA member, and will NOT return until their service improves. A simple title transfer took 55 minutes. They used to be quicker than a government bureau, but no more. Disappointing.
Fantastic service with employees that treat you with respect unlike government DVS locations. Although the wait was long (due to increased traffic with the new Real IDs), all employees were kind and were clearly working hard. I will never go anywhere for license services but this location.
License renewal, 2 counter people and all the chairs are full what the hell
I just use the license center. It's busy all the time so be prepared for an hour long wait, But the service is good.
Currently on hour 3 here to renew a License, no sense of urgency in the slightest the numbers are called at complete random , I understand it’s a dmv but when 2 of the very understaffed department here go out for lunch and return 45 minutes later to a full room of waiting people is annoying as all hell. Never ever go here drive to some other place and save time
Brian Skillingstad. DO NOT work with him if your time is of any value for you. Had everything set up, once it got down to getting paperwork from him. No answers to calls, to e-mail nothing! Called days later and asked for someone else to help me and no one wanted to get involved said they will have him call me back. Called again said they would have a manager reach out to me and nothing. Don't waste your time! I got a better quote going directly through the insurance company.
Morrissa who was assisting me at the DMV, HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. I WOULD NOT COME TO THIS DMV AS I WAITED ALMOST 2 HOURS TO BE ASSISTED.
Absolutely the SLOWEST place I've ever been. Doesn't matter if there's 5 or 50 people there your wait will always be at least an hour. I would avoid this place if you can, the DMV is much quicker.
Long wait times and no one smiles but it's convenient because they are open on saturdays
Worst place to be if you have a CDL
Way Understaffed 1.5 hrs to renew DL on Tues AM. 3 staff members for every service needed. 50+ people waiting....lol
Extremely rude staff in license services, and waited over an hour
If I could rate it 0 I would. Waiting here for the 3rd time to get a plate. The staff is rude and unknowledable. Be prepared to wait an hour or longer than be greeted with a snarl by staff that looks at how NOT to help you. The worst part is they don't know what they are doing and I have to come back for the 3rd time with less insurance than we actually have because they don't understand what 5 million combined single unit means.
I heard great things about the licensing bureau here and how quick it went. I needed to get my license switched over from another state and knew I needed to take the knowledge test. I checked the website and it said they issued licenses and permits. I then sat in the waiting room for two hours staring at a TV displaying informational slides. It wasn't until I had been here for two hours that I saw a slide saying that they do not offer testing. This was very disappointing. However, upon a return to this location (after passing my test at the Plymouth location), the excellent customer service I received from Christie at the front desk has greatly improved my perspective on this location.
This licensing division is much better than others. The employees are very helpful and friendly. I have had nothing but good experiences and they are actually open later on Saturdays. Highly recommend.
Quick, easy & informational.
AAA Member for many years. Very nice facility. Just driving is a bit tricky though.
My grandma asked for service today and the guy was very rude. Very disappointing. The guy put her car down our driveway and now we can't get it back up the driveway because of the ice/snow. The guy just shrugged his shoulders and left.
Very helpful
I never experienced long lines as the other reviews however I very much agree on the lack of knowledge from the employees as well as rudeness.
Busy place to go get your car registered, plenty of seating
They've got a great system in place for getting what you need for travel.
great place for auto licenses
Service wait time depends on time of day, whether during week, or weekend. Also depends if last weekend if the month due to procrastinaters renewing their tabs, etc. before expiration, typical of any service center. I received exceptional service regarding a passport photo. Recommend for that particular service.
Nicer than a DMV, but just as slow as one. Typically under-staffed for the volume of customers they see daily.
I visited this AAA branch to get a triptik and maps. It is summer and peak travel time, so I expected a long wait. However, I waited no more than 10 minutes from check-in to the time I was assisted for my triptik. Everyone I encountered was very courteous and knowledgeable, from the person who checked me in at the Welcome Desk, to Daphne, who assisted me with my TripTik. I received excellent service, and would highly recommend this AAA location.
Nice place great services offered there
Fast and friendly
This is NOT a full service DMV. Don't be fooled. They offer a very select few services, and often even then they'll just give you a list of other places to go to. You won't be renewing your license here, or taking your written test, but you 'might' be able to get new plates if you bring sixteen documents you wouldn't otherwise need to bring to a real DMV.
Wait time is horrible
Bill was so rude not helpful at all
The wait here (anytime of day) is aweful. No sense of urgency. Avoid at all costs, drive away. Your time is better spent finding another facility.
Oh my god two hours waiting for a tow. This is so much bull****.
This place is awesome! The lady at counter #3 is amazing! You do your job well and have great customer service skills. Thank you for being awesome! Saturday June, 15 12:30pm
Was a life saver to get tabs late afternoon on a Saturday for my car in need. Lines were pretty long. I went in, grabbed a number, sat down. B.F. parked suv, came in and after 12 mins. Grabbed a number. Believe it or not. His number was called before mine! Easy access off hwy 100.
License center is very very slow. No sense of urgency
Good and quality traveler staff
I want to travel more so I can shop in their store. Great staff, friendly.
This place actually made me want to die. I had a stressful day and I really wanted to get everything over with, but I waited for over two hours.
This is by far the most convenient DMV that I've ever been to. It can be busy and their ticket system may seem odd but Adam was a true professional at his job, kind, understanding, funny and just all around awesome. Thanks for making my experience positive.
This place is awesome. People who complain about waiting time, need to get a life. The amount of people that use this place is huge. Happy to have them here.
The wait has never been more than 20 minutes while sitting.
Giving a license and registration the stats is as good as it gets. Friendly staff make the best of a place no one wants to be. Better than any of the state ran facilities.
I renew my license and wanted my military on it. I had a copy of my military DD 214. They said I needed the original. I went to the Southdale branch and I had know problem. It would of cost me $80.00 if I got a original. They did not know what they were doing. Totally disgusted.
They have many things to offer there. Great travel agency.
Long wait ,lazier and rude dmv rep.
They have a travel store here to where you can get anything you need for traveling
I have so far waited an hour and a half for a license renewal. They have 6 stations, but only 3 open and the lobby is full. I have been here since 3:00 pm.
Look nobody likes the DMV and only boring people like work. However, AAA made my title transfer easier and faster than any DMV prior and Linda my amazing teller gave me the information i really needed without any BS and did that withouth making me feel like just another person to cross her desk which i almost expected with the number of people there during my visit. Value comes from getting more than you expect. And while AAA is better that the run of the mill DMV a teller like Linda is what let me leave with exceeded expectations.
Always fast friendly service with longer hours than other licensing locations. I've never waited for more than 5 minutes. And, you can call ahead to make sure you bring the right stuff with you to get it done right the first time.
i just went this morning best service ever. Ginger have excellent customer service.
Rude and demeaning service staff. I ask a simple question and was rebuked as if I was a child taking candy
Wonderful and friendly staff and a very short wait time.
I had a good and quick experience arriving a few minutes before they opened. Note they cannot do written tests for drivers license here. You will have to go to another location.
AAA Insurance review only. Other services good!: SLP AAAinsurance agents are very professionally sounding on the phone, gave me a quick low verbal quote, but never followed up with a written quote as promissed. Took 2-3 call backs trying to ger a written quote on home, kept running me through hoops, copy of last roof invoice, roof warrenty, furnace inspections records, table of all rooms sizes, finished and unfinished, etc. Home quotes got higher and higher, starting out as very good rate, ending up average. After 2 weeks of work, they wanted me to sign, cancelling my current insurance; BUT COULD NOT GIVE ME A FIRM RATE. Said rates may go up after under-writting. Checked and found their claim payment reviews were very bad. Walked away after a lot of work. This quote was for AAA insurance. They also, sell other companies products. Called in Dec 2018 got quick auto quote, great price. Promised to finish auto and home and email written quote next day, NEVER HAPPENED... I am a AAA Auto Club member, thought I would try them for insurance. Just wasted my time.
Always so slow! And the staff are always sassy and and talk down to you. Really annoying.
Called at noon - told me I would be picked up within the hour. Received a call at 12:55pm telling me it would be another 30 since it was raining. Very disappointed in the service that I'm paying for!!!
Long lines and only two people taking people when there are 6 stations. They only have one line for drivers license related things. Do not come here around 10:30am to 12pm. You'll regret it.
Nice, helpful people, especially in Travel and the Driving School. Plus, once you've been there for tabs or licensing, you'll never go to the DMV again.
Great service but too long wait , almost 2 hours waiting for just 5 min service, just 3 people working even they can 6 spots and they took care of people in between without number
I've gone here several times, and I have had good experiences! The location is great, the people are friendly and knowledgeable. I love the store, they have awesome stuff for traveling, too!
I've had AAA for years, for my 4 wheelers and two wheelers, and when I've needed roadside assistance they've been there in a timely fashion and with appropriate equipment. Once after a holiday party on a cold snowy night we were side-lined with what turned out to be a transmission issue on my four-wheel drive vehicle. We called AAA and they were within 40 minutes with a flat bed truck and hauled the truck, my wife, and I home. After doing some research, we ended up having it towed a couple days later by AAA to the Lexus dealer. On 4 July 2014 we were on a motorcycle trip that landed us in Alliance, NE for a night. Our bike started acting up and needed expert attention. We call AAA the morning of 5 July and within 30 minutes a flat-bed truck was there! The driver was very friendly and friends with the Bauerkemper Honda dealership in Chadron, NE. He called ahead to the service manager to alert them to our issue. The tow distance was 75 miles and was totally covered. When we arrived the Bauerkemper techs dove in immediately to assess and correct what was wrong, topped off the oil, topped off the coolant, checked the tire pressure, and hand us back on the road within an hour. Stellar!! We're sold on AAA!
I showed up to renew my tabs and update my driver's license on a Tuesday at 4:45 pm. I waited for less than five minutes and I was out of there by 5:10. Faster than any DMV I've been to, maybe I got lucky with the time I went!
Convenient days and hours of operation. Smooth processing.
Very helpful in getting license tabs, slow service to get a trip tick.
I love this place.. My experience is always good when i visit AAA.. They are really nice people and help you when they can.. It can be busy on some days but you can't rush nobody to do their job.. They get paid by the hour not by how many people they see in a day.. They are the best
My daughter took her drivers ed here. They did a wonderful job!
I was so decrimiated by the old lady..at clerk 5 around 10:20 am on 2-25-17. as soon as she saw me she ask me for US issued papers and said I won't be able to pay with my debit card/check ( just because I'm latino )
They really have no clue.
I use the DMV here. Its usually not too busy, and the employees are always friendly and helpful.
The agent who sold me cheap insurance from other insurance beside their AAA
If you are in a Emergency , you will die on the road waiting 1 hour for them to pick up the phone , to then request service to help you out.
Worst DMV. They have the worst customer service ever and expect people to know how it works when themselves don’t have a clue. A girl call ginger is the worst in this place don’t know how she keeps her job.
Service could be a bit faster.. Otherwise ppl are helpful.
Lots of helpful things, but using their DMV-like service has been a nightmare. Unlike the real DMV, this place doesn't update the post office or register your address with voting. It's been almost a year of import mail not reaching my new address before I figured it out.
Always a long wait for license tabs, misinformation from the teller led to two unnecessary trips to St Paul to get a title transferred.
Advice and tips... Don't follow the popular times, this place is ALWAYS hopping. Make sure you make no other plans for the day or expect to come in on a lunch break. If you do come, consider packing breakfast, lunch, AND dinner! I mean at this point, I'd maybe bring a tent. Granted, the staff seems efficient, although I haven't seen anyone smile. Every time I've come here it's been over a 1.5 hrs wait. I'm sure i'll have nightmares about this place for at least a month.
Always fast and friendly
December 30th I was driving in my F150 to my cabin in Pine City, had a blow out at the confluence of 35W and 35E, couldn't get the spare tire bumper lock to release. So at 9:30 pm I called AAA (I am a Premier Member) to get some help, at 10:30 pm I received a call from AAA letting me know that I wouldn't see help before 1:10 am. As a 66 year old guy that has a bad back and needs a new knee, I was forced to break off the bumper lock and crawl under the truck to fix the tire all the time worrying about someone slamming into me. There wasn't a snow emergency or any logical reason for the almost 4 hour wait for service. I have been a AAA member for decades, I am looking for a new service now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best kept secret in town regarding drivers license renewals, titles, and such. Got my license renewed and only waited an hour instead of 3 hours at the Southdale location.
Oh my god. Avoid this place. I waited an hour and 20 minutes (!!!) before I got to the counter and was then told I had to fill out a form and because I didn't fill out the form ahead of time (this was totally my fault but the signage was not very clear) I would have to take another number and wait. Plus she yelled at me in front of the 40 plus people waiting to be helped and called me "young lady". Ugh. I walked out and will go to different location.
I transferred a vehicle at St Louis Park AAA they sold my information and now I've had all kinds of people calling me and sending me mail. Transfer your vehicle at a normal DMV. You will not have this problem.
Had to wait just a bit short of 2 hours to get a temporary handicapped plaquard. Unbelievable!
Well ran and lines go fast!!
I went to the AAA DMV for tabs for a pop-up camper. It was on a Friday and at about 1PM. The was about an hour and 45 minutes. Seating was full capacity with a stack of chairs set in the corner. In watching the Queue flow, it took an average of about 5 minutes for each person to be processed with an average of 3 of the 5 lines being open. I am giving less stars because watching the employees, there was zero attention paid to the large amount of people waiting and they never had the counters 5 slots all operating at the same time.
The worst! Waiting over 3 1/2 hours to get extension on DL papers because haven't received in mail yet.
Wasn't too busy and had better hours of operation than most DMVs, especially during weekends
The dispatcher, who answered my frantic call , about locked keys in my car was most helpful and caring. She said she would flag my call to receive priority help. She was a true customer service champion. Thank you!
