AAA Garden City: Reviews
Fantastic experience: The AAA office runs a tight operation and you definitely need an appointment to get in the door for most things, but you should check with them on what most things are. I got an international license last year without an appointment. But I needed an appointment to get a enhanced license so I’m going back tomorrow.
Fantastic experience: Fast and easy, in and out. Very friendly and helpful staff. 5 stars ❤️
Fantastic experience: The nicest people, so worth it.
Fantastic experience: I love this
Fantastic experience: Had a seamless experience returning my plates as a walk-in customer. Thank you to Pam and Courtney for accommodating me without an appointment!
Negative experience: DO NOT BUY THIS SERVICE, trashest in the world, this company sucks so much that they had me wait 7 hours freezing in a car, waiting for the stupid tow truck. Bad service DO NOT RECOMMEND
Hi Santiago. We are so sorry to hear about this. Please send us an email at [email protected] and include your AAA Membership number and contact information. We’ll review what happened and give you a call. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: For me, learning that I could take care of some of my DMV business at AAA was actually kind of exciting, for lack of a better word. I mean, DMV has gotten better over the past few years with wait times, but likelihood is, you're still not getting out of there in under an hour, no matter what... AAA was easy-peasy! I did only have to turn in plates, but I have a coworker who took his daughter there for her permit test, and it was also a great experience. My experience was quick and painless. The young lady who greeted me was super friendly and helpful, as was the woman next to her. I was probably in there longer asking questions and chatting a bit than my appointment took. I learned about other things they can help with, including travel! Can you tell I'm a new-ish member of AAA?? I'm definitely going to explore all the benefits! Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I went to upgrade my license and was in and out. Staff was extremely helpful and taken care of with a smile!!! It was definitely an amazing experience! Keep up the good work!
Fantastic experience: Very customer friendly!!
Fantastic experience: Came in this morning on a Saturday. Had a 9:00 am appointment and was seen at 8:59 am. Came in to upgrade our driver’s licenses for the family. The staff was all too friendly and helpful. So much easier and quicker than going to the dmv office. Thanks again for actually making a dmv experience pleasant.
Fantastic experience: They are very helpful there
Fantastic experience: Wonderful people work here. Grateful for them every time I go.
Fantastic experience: Grateful and blessed. Treated with a smile and great care in renewing my license and upgrading to EDL. Kevin was kind and efficient (which is the perfect combination) and his supervisor who processed the payment cinched the deal. So much better than going to the DMV, which is oft too crowded and it's impossible to get an appointment! Thank you so much.
Fantastic experience: I found it very quick
Fantastic experience: Update: I had a previous issue pertaining to their online defensive course which to my surprise was expeditiously addressed. Great customer service responsiveness.
Negative experience: I had worst experience at this AAA. Try to register the car for someone else with power of attorney form signed with authorization. My ID and all DMV forms have been signed. Other AAA takes it. But not this one. And I ask them to call dmv in front of me. They called at DMV parting person who never see my paper work and rejected to take me as client on the phone. And they push me to DMV to complete the application. If I know they won’t take it I won’t drive 1 hour for this appointment and I really thought all AAA are the same. I guess not this unique one. Good luck to all you who come here for DMV service.
Hi DIUDIU . We’re very disappointed to hear about your experience and we’d like to look into what happened. Please email us your AAA Membership number and contact information to [email protected]. We’ll follow up. Thanks.
Fantastic experience: Awesome staff well organized
Fantastic experience: What a great experience. Clean, comfortable, fast! Courtney helped us and was just fantastic. Knowledgeable, friendly, and very courteous. If you have AAA skip the trip to the DMV. Be sure ro make an appointment. It's a must.
Fantastic experience: Great service, wonderful, helpful staff. They're so efficient, I'm rarely in there for more than 15 minutes for any kind of services, whether it's DMV related, for passport renewals or most recently for an international driver's permit. A great perk for being a AAA member.
Negative experience: This company is total garbage, the reason I said that they charge me for my membership fee a month before the due date,I called the customer service three times and spoke to them about it, they said they will pay me my money back, besides I never authorized the payment now it been over a week and I never got my money, and other payments has bounced because of their stupidity and greed, it takes one person to make the company look like garbage ,in my case I spoke to three of them and a supervisor and my problem never solved, I never trust this stupid company they steal your money and can’t do anything about it, so I contacted the bank to solve it for me . Never trust AAA their is better company than them , they are money hungry and need to update their employees and services.
Hello Faeq. We apologize for this experience. We would like to learn more. Please email us at [email protected] so we can reach out securely. Thank you!
Negative experience: This club is responsible for my damage claim. I required a tow from New York to New Jersey which is covered under my AAA membership. They seemed to have trouble finding a tow company to do the tow so they ended up hiring a suspect company that damaged my vehicle. Because I could not prove it, they denied my damage claim. After searching for the tow company online, I could only find a single 1 star review of them with a similar issue of damage. I've moved on but I hope anyone who uses them in the future researches the tow company that they send you so that hopefully no one else has to deal with the same disappointment and frustration that I dealt with. Sufficiely to say I will no longer be renewing my membership after many years of service.
Fantastic experience: Great and quick service.
Fantastic experience: Kind staff and fast service
Fantastic experience: I had to get an international driver's license. Great service. Quick and easy
Fantastic experience: Our visit to AAA Garden City was exceptional, especially considering the efficient service provided by Jeff. Despite being a group of three, we obtained our International Driving Permits in just 40 minutes on a Saturday morning. Jeff, our courteous and informative attendant, facilitated the process seamlessly. From taking our pictures to processing the permits, Jeff ensured everything ran smoothly while also accommodating our requests for maps. Thanks to Jeff's exceptional service, our experience at AAA Garden City was not only swift but also incredibly pleasant.
Hi Sean Jackson! We will relay your kudos to Jeff for the good work he is doing!

Fantastic experience: Most of all DMV services can be completed via this place and all staff and friendly and the best part rather than waiting for hour in DMV to be called this place is just 5 min in and out with what ever service you look for and open on Saturdays… This service of DMV makes AAA memberships worth.

Thank you Diana! We are grateful for your feedback and look forward to taking care of you again in the future!
Fantastic experience: I have been a AAA member for years. I consider it like an insurance policy as they offer you comfort knowing they are there when you need it. My recent visit was to do a DMV transaction instead of driving to the Department of Motor Vehicles. It was so a convenient and pleasant experience. I even picked up many travel booklets, giving me another reason to return!
Wow! We appreciate your awesome feedback!
Fantastic experience: This was a Great Place! Had to transfer plates and registration over and it only took approx 25 min from start to finish. The man was very nice and helpful. 10x better than the DMV!!!!

Fantastic experience: Outstanding. Efficient. Knowledgeable. Courteous.
Fantastic experience: Walked in and the service was great. In and out and service with a smile.
Fantastic experience: I had to go to the AAA DMV a few times to clear some stuff up and upgrade my license to an enhanced ID. I barely had to wait to be helped (you need to make an appointment before arriving) and everyone there is really pleasant and nice. It's also very clean and has plenty of parking. They are also open on Saturdays which is great because it's hard to go to the DMV during the week sometimes.
Fantastic experience: On August 2, 2022, I had reserved a cargo van from Hertz. I was driving from N.Y. to N. C. When I got to the rental location, I was informed that a cargo van was not available. I had to rent a box truck instead. Since there are restrictions regarding trucks on the parkway, I called AAA for assistance. I was lucky enough to get help from a woman named Tanisha. Tanisha could not have been more helpful! She understood my predicament and went out of her way to help me. She planned my 700 mile trip for me over the phone and then emailed me every detail. All the while she was patient with me and couldn't have been kinder. I thought about how great she was my entire trip. I wanted to call and speak to a supervisor and let them know how lucky I was to get Tanisha on the phone that day. ( I'm still going to try and call.) Today I received an opportunity to critique my experience that day and that is why I am taking the time to do so. AAA - I hope you realize how blessed you are to have this employee working for you. She is the GREATEST!
Fantastic experience: Excellent service at this location. Will visit again in the future.
Fantastic experience: Friendly staff, took only 10 minutes to get my international driver's permit!
