I’ve had AAA membership for 20+ years, and I’m always generally happy with the service I receive. But the experience this time was exceptionally excellent and definitely worth a google review!I live in different city but was in Alhambra to visit relatives and take care of a few things, including some paperwork for DMV stuff, so decided to give this AAA a try. The staff that helped me was Araceli, and she’s the reason I’m writing this 5 star review. She was very friendly of course (which is a given with AAA staff), but what set her apart from others was how attentive she was. She was stationed at the handicap window so there was no chairs at the window and the counter surface was very low to accommodate wheelchairs. She noticed I was bending down a lot to fill out the form and before my back even started protesting and without me saying anything, she cleared out the adjacent and taller counter space for me to use! That might seem like a small gesture but I was really touched. She was also very patient and detail oriented. I ended up needing smog check before paperwork could be finalized, I somehow was able to get it done near by and made it back to AAA before 5 pm, and Araceli saw me and greeted me right away and helped me finish the paperwork without needing to check in again and waiting in line twice. She even remembered my name! Just outstanding customer service, and made my day that much better. Thank you, Araceli, and keep up with the great work!

I have been a AAA member for many years. AAA has not only auto towing service but insurance for car, home and life as well. They also offer DMV services too. Always fast and friendly service at all locations.

Very well organized in the admitting customers into facility. Once in the staff is very efficient on getting things done!It is frustrating having to wait. But, due to the limited number of persons permitted inside it is frustrating for some.

Alhambra AAA was awesome they helped when i was put in a jam by Monterey park police department getting my car towed away because of registration being expired. I didnt have to wait very long as i waited i was near by in my seat amd heard another customer getting set up for a wonderful trip to paris that was enjoyable to here next time i go into AAA it will hopefully be for a nice trip like PAris not DMV issues. Place was well set up many employees to help us customers pleasant visit recommend the yearly fee for all the services you could get with cordial respect.

Aside from the 40 minute wait to see a person to get a replacement handicap placard, the service person was fast and efficient.

So convenient to have this AAA branch office located in Alhambra. I got my DMV renewal done in minutes, instead of having to drive back to West Covina to get it done. Great customer service too. Also, within the parking lot area of this AAA, there are places to eat, a So Cal Gas office, and a 99 Ranch supermarket. Terrific!!!

Total joke thinking of non renewal after 33 years. Waited outside in the hot sun. No chairs. No shade. Im 80yrs old. No provisions made for three of us of the about the same age. AAA did a crummy job . No thought for their clients.

I went to Alhambra location and tried to get a registration extension for my wife. Paul told me to make an account for my wife so I did. After when I tried to pay, he told me then that I could not use my card to pay for her. She was at work and I spent so long doing this only to be told that it was a waste of time? Worst service ever.

I went to transfer an out-of-state car title and register the car. Angelique and Paul helped me and they were amazingly helpful and so so so kind! They came across some paperwork that required more of their attention but they never got frustrated. The process took some time but it was a good opportunity for me to exercise my patience as well, and I didnt find it difficult to do with the energy of everyone being so relaxed. It was 100x better than going to the DMV!

I had the absolute best experience with this AAA branch. I came with a challenging situation due to my relocation between CA and VA and then back to CA in a matter of a year and a half and a need to re-register my vehicle back in CA. Zita Lefort did an excellent job helping me out and avoiding a trip to the DMV. She went above and beyond from what I expected. She made all necessarily calls to get my situation corrected and did everything with a welcoming and friendly demeanor. I cant say enough about what a great experience I had. Highly recommend!

This is, by far the nicest most organized AAA I have ever been to. This woman Zita was so kind and helpful. They only take cash or checks and since registration was almost due AND I had 3 old tickets, it was $425.00!DID NOT have to wait in line again.What a pleasurable experience. Zita, You ROCK!

O took my Son Jesse Jr to get his first vac for the Covid-19 the second vac to follow.. See he works for of Walgreens North San Gabriel Store. Hes a SFL shift manager. Been with the company for going on 13 years. He was called and asked if he wanted to get the vaccine, so we went to the So. Lake/ Del Mar Walgreens. So walked in and were greeted very well. I enjoy walking in to other Walgreens stores to see their set up. Which means where things are located and the different mark downs they have. That was our stop in Pasadena CA today.

Wait was long, they didnt page me like they said they would, and wont do any DMV transactions if there was any DMV activity on the account within last 30 days. The only good thing was you check in and then you can wait in your car, they are supposed to page you (they didnt page me).

Generally, I like AAA. They are efficient, friendly, informative, and provide a wonderful service. The reason that I settled with 4 stars is because of the experience I had during the last visit. I called ahead on the number listed for Alhambra office to check if fast track transponders are available at the location. I was told its available but when I arrived, the receptionist said that they were out for couple of weeks. I had to drive to Pasadena to get one. On a side note, Alhambra office should have Google fix the driving directions as it directs the entrance from Almansor St.

This is the best place to pay tags for your car and get quotes for insurance and get great deals on vacation. Thats why my wife and I also go to AAA.

Ce
Review №72

Ive used many services offered at AAA and have been impressed by the friendliness and attentiveness of employees. However, Im not very happy with their DMV services. It used to be AAA was more convenient than going to the DMV because of shorter wait time and the person handling your inquiry was a bit more personable and on the ball. My last 2 (2019 and 2020)experiences to simply renew my cars registration was no different than going to the DMV. With the exception of wait time being fast the two employees who helped me with DMV services were inept. I will probably start going to a different branch because overall AAA is great!

Ok... Insurance is helpful but the DMV services are very difficult. You need cash or check.... Really checks that go along with the fax machine. I was told to bring $22 by the front desk to change my address. Fyi...No Atm...so need to walk and get cash back. I get $30 and wait in the DMV line... After waiting, I am told it is $36 because my car is newer? So no love and I needed to leave and come back.... Take cards or have an ATM in the office... You guys are very difficult
