Brimmers License Service

Came here from Reading for renewal since the DMV here is closed Monday’s. Quick in and out (5 minutes total) and the people were very nice. I will be going here every 4 years for renewals.

Quite a stellar score for what’s essentially the DMV… from what I can understand, Brimmer’s is basically a subsidiary of PennDoT licencing centers, and as such has been empowered with full faith and credit of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. To put it simply, Brimmer’s establishments (littered throughout the commonwealth apparently) have been given the authority to distribute Pennsylvania drivers’ licenses and (possibly) other forms of identification.
I’ve had to make two trips here in the past seven months: once in late February/​early March to replace a stolen driver’s licence (technically my wallet was stolen)… and just recently this past weekend to renew my licence. This begs the question, could I have just gone the past seven months roughing it, not buying booze or drinking at bars/​lounges/​clubs? As a paragon of self control (when sober), I’d say it could have been done (could have saved me from embarrassing situations, and even quite possibly prevented a pretty disastrous outing a couple weeks back… confessions/​professions of yada yada, whatever, I guess I wasn’t good enough; I wasn’t exactly in the greatest condition, yet I nary had the opportunity to advocate for myself concerning my actions. I guess this barrister doesn’t have the luxury of a hearing).
Again with these non sequiturs… I’m not taking it out (the concerned party probably won’t even read these).
Nevertheless, Brimmers is quick, efficient, and friendly. Not what you’d expect from what is pretty much the functional equivalent of the DMV. I must say though, people are starting to catch on, so my advice is to show up a half hour or more prior to the start of business hours; Better to be first in and first out… but even if you’re not the absolute first, you’ll still be in and out faster than you ever expected at an establishment such as this one.
