I must write a review to tell you the amazing service I received from Nikki at Routt County. I work with a dealership in Illinois and we were needing assistance with title & registration paperwork I submitted to Colorado. My customer moved to Routt County since purchasing a vehicle with us. When I contacted Routt County I spoke to Nikki. She went above and beyond to help me. Nikki even reached out to office that was holding the paperwork to further help me with my issue. In short, she narrowed down the problem and I am very grateful for her help. The manager at Routt County should let Nikki know her customer service is awesome!
