Amazing you say? I have the opposite opinion and think they're quite trash. The ones I visit almost always have a long wait, multiple display TVs with non-stop advertising on them, the employees are frequently cantankerous, and being a for-profit entity, the amenities are always as sparse as possible or in need of repair.

Overall a rather soul-sucking example of a captive market optimizing for profit.

Also have the same experience with MO DMVs being slow like DMVs commonly are. I think being for profit also makes the quality of the locations inconsistent [1] and that is mostly due to no state funding.

For most common purposes the CA DMV experience has really improved. Most things can be done online quite easily and they actually have a decent website
Yea they have made great strides here. I have only had to go a single time in the past ~8 years and that was to provide documentation for the Real ID.
