New York State Department of Motor Vehicles

I had a great experience at this dmv. I had a reservation and was 5 mins late. I arrived at 8:50 and was done with the entire service by 9:15! Definitely will go back. Side note: there were a few grumpy workers but I didn’t have to deal with them lol guess that just comes with the territory

Everyone was courteous and really worked to help me solve a complicated matter. It was a pleasure to work with Supervisor Lisa and Ms. Diaz today. Great work!

I know it is heresy to say anything good about a DMV, let alone award it 5 full stars. But this DMV epitomizes what it means to have a flawlessly smooth and quick motor vehicle transaction.
One of the best features about the NY DMV system is the ability to make an appointment. With an appointment, you’re given a ticket with the closest number to be called, and you’re seen right away.
I’ve been to this DMV three times, but I timed the last two times I was there:
New Drivers License: 16 minutes
New Registration: 9 minutes
These numbers are NOT A JOKE. The staff keeps things moving. They all share the same middle name and it is Efficiency.
I do not mind going to the DMV anymore because I know in Yonkers it’ll be as easy as ordering a coffee at Starbucks (if you were required to bring 5 points of proof; at the rate Starbucks is going, this isn’t far off).

This was the quickest smoothest DMV visit ever!
So i came here on ²⁄₁₇ drove from the BX. I rsvp online the night before (my 1^st dmv rsvp lol) for 830am however due to the weather that morning i arrived at 850. So im thinking ive lost my place in line and i was going to spend all morning here etc etc… WRONG! I came in was greeted by a the girl in the front entrance she made sure all my papers were in order scaned me in gave me my tix and my # was called immediately. I was out and done by 9:05am!!! I didnt even have to feed the meter out front lol. Will def come up here again. Hopefully next time im not disappointed! This is definately a big difference from the Fordham location parking was easy as well and you dont have to feed the meters until after 9am!

I had a nightmare experience @White Plains DMV. Any issue that is slightly outside the norm is too much for this office. I assumed a car lease from a previous leasee. All my paperwork was perfectly in order, but everytime I presented it, they would deem it incomplete. Finally, I went to DMV office in Brewster area. No problem. Walked out with new plates and registration in less than 1 hour!

My wife and I stopped by the Yonkers DMV this morning and were pleasantly surprised by what an enjoyably experience it was. Everyone we dealt with was very nice, and despite having to go to three different desks, we moved through pretty quickly. One word of advice is to check the DMV site beforehand and print out any forms you may need, as that really helped speed things up.

Having an appointment got me started very quickly! Angela checked my documents and took my picture, she was great! Mr Cumberberth entered the data and processed payment, he wasn’t!!! Got up and walked away for 5 mins without saying a word, came back and handed me a paper to fill out, still not speaking! During the entire process he had a scowl on his face, and was yawning. He didn’t seem to excited to have his job there… overall I’ll give 3 stars. 4 for the first half of my visit, and 2 for the second half.

3 stars, only because I was there Super early and was out pretty fast. .but Lord the employees are rude!!! Not all but most! Should have gone to White Plains! I know better next time.

Waited 3 hours to renew a license and left before I could get it done. The staff are idiots and not helpful. More tax money in yonkers down the drain. Yonkers sucks!

It may not be smart writing a review for an establishment I despise more than any other… Yet for once! I think I may have had a decent experience. They were fairly efficient. And extremely helpful.
This may have everything to do with the fact that I was at the door 15 minutes prior to opening and amongst the first 15 inside.
Please note the received 4 stars for the dmv are not comparable to 4 stars given to any other establishment by me since they are on their own level.
(Almost how a gold medal in the Olympics is different than a gold medal in the «special» Olympics)

I’ve been to Yonkers DMV several times, and I’ve never had a problem. But the 5 stars are for Wanda who was incredibly helpful and for the person who gives you your ticket number (I never got her name). I was in and out of there is ½ hour and everyone was quite pleasant. I’ve been to other dmv’s and this is by far the easiest to deal with.

Seriously I’ve been to worse. Any DMV in the Bronx is awful as is 125^th. People here are actually nice as far as DMV employees go. Things move fairly swiftly, again for the DMV, it’s cool inside and people actually smile at you and no I don’t just mean the guy who’s on line next to you. They take your picture then show it to you and ask you if you like it. Seriously how can you not like that? They even changed their hours so that they’re open later Monday through Thursday.
Alas it’s the DMV and three stars is as good as it gets.

Hate it hate it hate it!!! I could no complete my transactions in the 3 times I went back and forth because apperently my signature did not march my license. LIES! Tried a 2^nd time and nope the signature was still not consistent. What on earth do these people think there engligh grammar teachers. One person says one thing and somebody else says another thing they have you go in circles. Lines are average 45mins-​1hour for a number and another 15+ mins to see a rep at the counter… (smells like urine!!! Gross I been to greyhound bus stations that smell and are much more clean.

What is there really to say about this place! It’s a DMV! Workers wake up everyday on the wrong side of the bed and the lines are always long!

This is a neutral review… Only been here first when I got my learners permit, second when I registered my first car, third when I tried to grander ownership of vehicle and most recent to get a photo ID… Every other time Ive been in the building for over two hours… Got my photo ID in less than an hour… Would have been sooner if I got on the right line… Overall, it’s one of those places when no matter what you’re there for, your going to have to wait a while… Best time to go is first thing in the AM… Still there’s a line of at least 30 people before the doors even open… Only other advice, if you can’t stand lines and occasional crazy people, don’t drive in NYS…
