Really stupid subject to discuss, but I am amazed how efficient they have become. The last three visits I have made to motor vehicle were shorter and shorter each time. I went in today to do an address change,license renewal,registration renewal and another registration renewal for my trailer that I haven't registered since '05. To my amazement I was actually greeted nicely in he front by someone who actually knew what she was doing and checked my credentials and gave me the proper forms and instruction. Went to the next station where the lady was very happy and in a great mood where I guess she double checked my stuff and gave me a "serving" number while she laughed and said you're up and pointed to yet another nice lady who processed the rest of my stay there. She too was in a great talkative mood. She did my license and asked me to check it over. There was an error so she deleted it and did it over with no hesitation.

That stupid six point system was a joke too. It was a piece of cake. the only thing with it is you have to know what you are bringing. You can't just say to yourself Im in the area so I'll pop in and do my business in a moment's notice. I don't know anybody who would have the six points on their person all the time.

Sorry if I bored you with this, but I am still shocked. I was actually in and out of there in 20 minutes (no exaggeration)even including the time to fill out the form. I remember when I sat in there for anywhere from an hour or to with probably a hundred or so people waiting to do one simple reregistration. Glad those days are over.

I have no complaints at all with the new MVC. I live right near the South Jersey Regional Center (in Deptford).

I bought a used truck 3 weeks ago and went in for new title, registration and plates, and was in and out the door in 8 minutes total. There were lots of lines, but lots of employees and they moved very very fast.
 
Yeah, I don't know who fixed the computer setup that the DMV uses, but they oughta win a medal or something. Almost painless, although I hate having to go there to renew my license.
 
I still hate the inspection station.They think they are gods or something. Too much reserve in the parking brake my @!^&

I just had both my cars go thru inspection. As usual there were two people working the line. The guy in the front was fast smooth and a professional.

The second gentleman (the one who actually drove your car) could care less about being there, was more concerned about people using their $10 radio shack cell phones in the waiting area, and stood around waving his arms at the first guy for piling up all the cars waiting.

There were four of us standing in the waiting area and every single person was cursing/swearing our luck at getting stuck with this dude. He REFUSED to budge and went about his business at a snail's pace. Then claimed the gasoline cap seal test was not working and just stood around waiting for a supervisor. One guy actualy started arguing that he wasn't making a call but checking his text messages... ::) After he finished he didn't even bother giving me the paperwork to evidence what he did. Overall time was 40 minutes or something like that just standing there staring at the same 3 dang cars.

The second time around I got the same exact lane but this time different people - whole process was 10 minutes.
 
exactly the reason I hate the Inspection station. They think you owe them something. I mean come on they have a pretty decent/easy job if you ask me. no "real" responsibilities
