Went in to get international drivers permit. (AAA membership is NOT required for IDP). Helpful staff. 5min wait, filled 1 form.
15min to issue IDP, including getting picture getting taken and printed.

20$fee and you just have to show your US driving license. It's faster if you bring 2 passport photos of yourself.
Total time taken about 25 min.

Policyholder Review №10

Very friendly and professional. I needed to renew my car registration. I was in and out in under 5 minutes.

Policyholder Review №11

Avoid at all costs, worse than the DMV

Policyholder Review №12

Very friendly and efficient staff.

Policyholder Review №13

AAA was great !

Policyholder Review №14

Friendly, genuine, AND efficient service?? I haven’t had a car-related interaction that made me smile this much since winning a modest sum in small claims court in 2005

The manager demonstrated expertise at handling difficult customer situations (one featuring a particularly ornery young Karen who through she could get her passport photos taken for free and was going to escalate all the way to AAA HQ lol) such that her team doesn’t get “excuse me, dinged by corporate.”

Please note if you’re getting new passport photos to go with your IDP, it’s $20 for non members and $10 if you’re a member. You get two passport photos, some of the best handwriting I’ve seen in someone else filling out my application form for me, and service with a real smile.

Policyholder Review №15

Fast, friendly, knowledgeable. Great service. Thank you Daniel for the excellent assistance.

Policyholder Review №16

Excelente servicio muy hamables y hablan Español

Policyholder Review №17

Good staff, quick service, no problems!

Showed up at 5 pm on a weekday and expected long wait times, but I was in and out in about 20 minutes. My international drivers permit cost $20 + an additional $25 for the 2 small passport photos which is overpriced. If you want to save money, go to a Walgreens or something before to get pictures.

Very fast, professional, and friendly service. It's always pleasant to get my International Driving Permit here. I think they can print the required photos also, but I just bring my own + my Driver License and never have any problems.

Policyholder Review №24

Efficient, warm and personable DMV services every time I've used them.

Policyholder Review №25

They forced my really sick mom had to come in person to pick up the registration stickers ans they have no other methods to prevent this from happening, shame on them.

Policyholder Review №26

Avoid this location at all costs. Confidently told us that they can help us with a certain title transfer (details omitted in review) but when we walked in, they said we need to go to the DMV.

This significantly impacted our relocation timeline/efforts.

Employees here are wicked rude as well and won’t take accountability for something they’ve done wrong for customer. Zero sense of customer service. They need to be re-educated.

Policyholder Review №27

They messed up my brothers international driver’s license and omitted his motorcycle endorsement. Consequently we had to pay a $300 bribe in Vietnam to avoid having his bike impounded. Good job guys 👍

Policyholder Review №28

Personal regular, en mi caso a pesar que estoy afiliado 3 años con 73 años, con buen récord no se preocupan por dar ofertas a los de la tercera edad

Policyholder Review №29

Excellent location and the full gamut of services offered. But what is best here is the staff. We are talking stellar attitude and remarkable problem-solving thinking. Five stars all around.

Policyholder Review №38

Professional and helpfull staff

Policyholder Review №39

They are racist against anyone who isn't Latin or Hispanic. We went to make a payment for my tags, and the agent made the payment on my insurance instead. Even tho he stated that it was my tags that I was paying for. If you can't read you should not be at the job. If you are Latin or of Hispanic looking, you will get great help.

Policyholder Review №44

Terrible service was told they didn’t have the forms I needed despite the fact I had called 20 min earlier. Acted like I was a bother to tell me were I could go for what I needed. This AAA branch certainly puts the “A” in LAAAzy.

They help with everything from adjusting premium rates to road service DMV Services travel discounts, lost key reimbursement and more. When my Auto Liability policy was cancelled because the bank card was declined as is policy if a security threat is detected by the bank. My policy did not lapse during this time, and then it was brought up to date. I appreciate that they are very helpful.

AAA was a surprise for me. When I walked in the doors I felt disappointed. Disappointed that I'd never walked in this place before. It was a bustling office with a 'Wolf on Wallstreet' energy, minus the party. The service was fast, straight to the point and the a/c was on full blast.

Policyholder Review №148

It is always a pleasure to work with Chandra. She is very professional and great customer service.

Horrible service, unprofessional, and poor responsive, I went in to renewal the registration on our car but was treated very unprofessional and the service was so poor. The staff names Marvin was so slow and he did not know what he was doing and he was so unprofessional the way he talked to us. AAA really need to have a better customer service training for it's staffs. Btw, we have been a AAA Plus member for over 30 years. We will not go back to this branch and will start going to a different branch.

El trato del personal pedante se les olvida que son trabajadores y dependen de un sueldo el cual nosotros los clientes ayudamos a pagar con nuestras membresias son muy pedantes como que los servicios fuesen gratis oh ellos los pagarán por nosotros por mi parte jamás vuelvo. A ir a esa sucursal prefiero la de Daly city

Policyholder Review №198

Big waste of time verified the business that was to be taken care of but when I got there all the information that I got on the phone was incorrect the person didn't know what they were talking about or how to handle that business yet they were answering the phone and giving information big waste of time.

Policyholder Review №199

Policyholder Review №200

Went in here today to add my fiancé’s new to her 2002 Infinity to my insurance plan. All I got from the agent was a big NO, because I personally was not on the DMV registration they couldn’t do it. No other options or alternatives were given, aside from she had to come in and get her own completely separate insurance plan.
So I left and called AAA, I got an insurance agent on the phone that actually knew what they were doing and had coverage with proof of insurance in less than 10 minutes.
This AAA office is a big waste of time, don’t bother going in there. They do not know what they’re doing.
