| - When numerous people in line in front of you give this BMV verbal props for their ability to get people in and out--you know you're in a good one!
Lets face it--no one likes going to these places. But, I asked around and heard this was the place to go if you live on the Near West Side to get your license renewed. And, well this old lady is turning the big 29 this year, so I had to get me a new one.
Everyone told me they were in and out in around 10 minutes here and that advice didn't fail me. Ten.. MAYBE twelve minutes and I was walking out with a new license, donning probably one of the worst photos of myself, ever. They offered to take another one, which was kind, but it's a license photo--I don't care.
There were at least four ladies working the counter, so at any time, four people were being helped. That's how they make this place work like a well-oiled machine. They don't take credit cards, so make sure you bring cash or check. Also--do some research or even give them a call before you stop in. Why? There are certain things they don't do here--like title work, etc. For renewing licenses and plates, you're good to go here.
The ladies themselves were kind, but quick and efficient. They might laugh or smile at one or two of your comments, but no more than that--they're trying to get you going so they can help the next person.
