This AMA location looks new and modern, with a quick queue line and prompt service. I visited on a Saturday morning at 10 a.m., and there were at least 15 people in line. There are several self-check-in stations, so you don’t have to wait at the front desk. I only waited about 3-5 minutes before they called my name. Martha from the insurance department was very efficient and helpful throughout the process. They also have a free coffee machine with Starbucks roast beans.

Janet W made our license renewal such a smooth experience. The check-in process was quick and efficient, we barely waited at all. She was friendly, professional, and so sweet when helping me with my photo, making sure I was happy with it. Really appreciated her kindness and great service!

The only good service they provide is the contractors who actually come service your vehicle.
Internally it’s all shady practices like letting you upgrade with the click of a button but telling you to call to cancel (you can actually just send them an email telling them that it is an ethically shady business practice at best and they’ll cancel your renewal for you).
Wanna take advantage of their sweet movie deals! Well I hope there’s an AMA on the way to your theatre because digital benefits are for suckers!
