Anyone had experience with the Pasadena DMV? My friend registered his and said all they look at the DMV is the VIN in the enginebay, dash, and door jam and dont even look at the engine and stuff.

My choices were Glendale DMV (yea right), Pasadena DMV (1st choice), and Arleta DMV (too far away, 2nd choice)

I have to give the DMV the papers so i can go get it smogged, then come back to get my plates.

Just wanted to know if Pasadena DMV people care at all about engine mods or anything I should look out for?

Thanks

 

go to AAA haha they dont look at any of that stuff!!! you can do tags/registration, titles a bunch of stuff there that the dmv does... and no 2hr line!!!

 

Seriously? AAA does that?

See the thing is... i have to give my papers to the DMV for me to get a smog check then with the smog paper i go back to the DMV and they register it and give me plates.

Can anyone run me through the AAA process... for a out of state non resident vehicle? AAA has to be a liscenced verifier... and i dont know if theyl let me off that easily

also.. i checked their website and its registration renewal... not sure about non resident registration.... although thatl be awsome, theres a AAA 2 minutes away from me.

 

Yes

 

Yes to what dude?

So i can straight up COMPLETLY bypass the DMV for all registration stuff (specifically non resident first time registration)?

 

not to sure on the non-resident part! but its def worth a shot!!! just call ur local AAA!!!
and if anyone wants a AAA car/home insurance quote give me a call

adam- 866-841-0143 x6234

best insurance bar none!

 

if its two minutes away from you, why dont you stop in and ask real quick?

 

Can you beat Wawanesa?

 

Because theyre closed.

 

uhh glendale passed my fc had all the same mods, but it was red and no widebody

 

pasadena Dmv, AAA both will pass . just bring the title and smoke test. and cash.

 

wawanesa.... as far as price probly not! depends if you have a home/auto package

i can tell you one thing though, AAA wont drop you for a speeding ticket like or accident like wawanesa has.

and AAA claims handling is by far better!

google them if you want! every company will have bad reviews but the type of review is important, from just costumer service to lawsuits!

give me a call it'll take 10min. and you could possible save some money if not up front def in the long run!

 

Yep. Mercury beat Wawanesa's insurance rate, at least for me being the good driver that I am

I thought Wawanesa was the lowest out there, but Mercury was able to cut the rates even lower. This was based on liability only insurance.

 

u dont even need smog papers, its all electronic. once u smog it, its sent to the dmv, so mak sure it passes. thats what i have done with all my cars. not that they are smog legal

 

I know... but in order for the smog station to let me smog my car, I have to give my regisration papers and stuff to the DMV and inspect it.... then I have to smog my car, THEN i get actual regisration/plates

 

wait... we talking bribery here?

 

go to a different station, all they need is the vins. that station is full of **** if they say u need a reg. the title too JIC

 

Turns out everything is good. Finally registrered it

 

geico ftw!
