I think this was our third or forth visit to this shop - we hate dealing with the MVA and this alternative is the way to go. No lines, people who are nice and professional. Far cry from dealing with the MVA ! Any time I need ANYTHING related to auto tags, titles,, what ever - I'd go back to them. Thank you for the service !

If there is one place that deserves more than 5 stars, this is it. I have used this place twice and have been in and out in less than 10 mins each time. If you value your time, this service is worth it. Yes it costs more than just going to the MVA, you are paying for your life back! I just showed up with a signed title, inspection, and a bill of sale and handed to the nice lady. She told me to sign in two spots, I paid, they handed me my tags. What you pay for is them filling out all the paperwork, and the zero wait time. For me, it is a small price to pay to have an hour of my life back and not

This is the second time Ive went to motor car tag and title. They make the process actually enjoyable. They are quick and efficient. Everyone is so professional and knowledgeable. Especially with the pandemic, not having to stand in line or make an appointment at the MVA is worth so much to me as a stay at home mom, knowing I can be in and out and not having to cart my kids to sit around for hours. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Everything others have said about customer service here is true. One of the cashiers gave me some wrong information--she was new, everyone makes mistakes--and the manager was very generous and considerate in making it right. I realize not everyone can afford an extra fee for services, but I found the convenience, speed, and personal attention to be worth it.
