If you could rate this office with a minus rating it would be too generous. Horrible service representative, no people skills, employees with attitudes. In short, employees are curt, rude, obnoxious, ostentatiously bossy, arrogance and high minded. It would take to long to share my situation. In short, wasted an afternoon trying to complete many tasks in regard to many vehicles only to be yelled at by a service rep who clearly had no patience, people skills, nor an ethic to care about others. I'm 66 and I think I deserve respect from young people. The employee was young, impatient, rude, high-minded, and found it difficult to communicate to others in way in which I could understand. Imagine an ADD teenager trying to explain to his grandmother how to download a phone app on a cell phone for the first time.b After, going back and forth many times with the employee I was frustrated, she was ballistic and was asked to leave if I didn't get off the phone with my wife when I called her to ask a question about how she wanted the title to read on one of the many vehicles I was titling that day. In short, a one minute call and a two word answer. I left disgusted. Wasted an afternoon and have to go back to do what should been done right the first time. In summary, the worst people experience I've had. Be prepared for incompetency, rude behavior, impatience, and possibly having to go back twice to do that which should have been done correctly the first time.

They have no chairs. I suffer from degenerative disc disease, so I was trying to lean up against the wall for support, I was then asked to move and stand in the middle Of the room. I was number 590, and they were on number 545. I think I should contact people about ADA Issues with the office.

Since the opening of the citizens service center in my experience/opinion the services provided have become much easier for citizens of El Paso county to get handled and more efficiently carried out by the employees. Wait times have become shorter than they used to be and the environment or waiting areas are much more comfortable also . The facility is well maintained and laid out in a common sense fashion that is easily navigated by patrons. Everyone is friendly and well trained at their job duties. I'm a tough critic and not afraid to express any opinions I may have in regards to the allocation of our tax dollars. I'll point it out if I notice inefficient or misused or abused funding . And I can't say much negative about the center.

I had a question about recording a document and the Clerk I spoke with was kind and very knowledgeable. I deal with a lot of government employees through my work and this was a good and refreshing experience. Excellent job!!
