BREAKING: The newly opened Garland Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is experiencing overwhelming demand just days after its launch last Monday. Residents from across Sampson County and beyond are flocking to the office, seeking efficient service and lower wait times.
The DMV has quickly become a preferred destination for many, including Sreeja Kandukuri from Cary, who found the office while searching online with her father, Janardhan Kandukuri. “We were just looking for a DMV that’s open with a low wait time, and we found Garland,” Sreeja said. Her experience reflects the urgent need for accessible DMV services, as she noted, “It was very nice to find this place.”
Residents are praising the convenience of having a DMV in their hometown. Brian Short, a Garland local originally from New Jersey, expressed relief at the new facility. “I was in need of an ID, and it was a lot easier here. Driving to Clinton was difficult for those without a license,” he stated. This new office represents a significant improvement in local services, with Short declaring it “a big step up for our community.”
Local business owner Carolyn Parker visited the DMV to obtain her Real ID for travel. “I’m very excited about the DMV,” she said. “We don’t have to go to Clinton or Elizabethtown; it’s right here in our hometown.” Parker’s enthusiasm highlights the positive impact the DMV has on local residents’ lives.
The Garland DMV is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., and will be closed on New Year’s Day, January 1. For further inquiries, residents are encouraged to visit the NCDOT website for online services.
As the community rallies around this new facility, the Garland DMV is set to transform the way residents access essential services. With its focus on reducing wait times and improving access, the office is quickly becoming a vital part of the fabric of Garland. Expect more updates as the community continues to embrace this much-needed service.
