I have a DMV that's never busy around me too, at the cost of being further out of my way (even more so now that I've moved even farther from it). But it's worth being able to walk in and go right to a counter (without an appointment even!) instead of waiting 8+ fucking hours starting at 5am like the one in my actual city.
I've never made an appointment for the DMV, that's just bananas. I just walk in, grab a number, then my name is called within a few minutes. It takes longer to get there (like 15-20 min) than to finish my business there.
I still don't like going because it's an hour out of my way, but that also applies to most stores.
