Provided.

When it comes to vehicle registration needs in Tehachapi, one business stands out with its efficiency and customer-based model of service: 1st Priority Vehicle Registration Service. Celebrating its Grand Opening on March 14, 2018, this dedicated local service has become an integral part of the Old Town area, located conveniently at 20725 South St., Ste. 12.

Owned by Mitchel Abrego, 1st Priority Vehicle Registration Service is not just a DMV registration office, it's a hub of automotive expertise and customer-centric care. Mitchel, who took over the reins from his mother, Susan Abrego, brings a deep love for cars and classic vehicles to the business. His enthusiasm for the car community is evident in every aspect of his work and in his aspirations for the business's future.

For those who find DMV processes daunting, 1st Priority makes renewal a breeze. Simply email your renewal information or bring in your renewal letter, and the team will handle the rest. Be prepared to answer a few straightforward questions about your address, smog test needs, recalls and insurance status. The goal is to make your experience as seamless as possible, allowing you to walk away with your vehicle registration needs met, often the same day.

Under Mitch's ownership, the business is looking to expand its service offerings, with plans to add CARB Clean Truck Inspections to both their mobile and in-house services. This new feature will provide even more convenience to Tehachapi's vehicle owners. In addition to their regular services, which include same-day plate and tag issuance, 1st Priority offers mobile services to meet the needs of those who cannot make it into the office. Businesses with vehicle fleets will also benefit from 1st Priority's fleet management services, which offer early and preventative processing to keep all vehicles current on tags, thus avoiding penalties and citations.

A proud member of the Greater Tehachapi Chamber of Commerce, 1st Priority Vehicle Registration Service is also a significant supporter of local events. As the Checkered Flag Sponsor of the Thunder on the Mountain Car Show, the business is committed to growing this popular event and hopes to eventually transform it into a two-day extravaganza with additional events throughout the year, such as the recently held Spring Car Cruise.

Open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 1st Priority Vehicle Registration Service is dedicated to providing top-notch DMV services while supporting and enriching our local community.
