Dealer Services Network, a technology-enabled provider of title and registration services for mobility customers, recently acquired Terry's Tag and Title Service.

The strategic move combines DSN’s expansive network and expertise with Terry’s Tag and Title Service’s deep-rooted reputation in Maryland. DSN now has 32 locations across seven states.

Terry’s Tag and Title was founded in 2003 and offers an alternative to the state agency process for Maryland dealers and consumers.

“We are excited to welcome Terry’s Tag and Title Service to the DSN family,” said Joe Palumbo, Chief Executive Officer, Dealer Services Network. “Our shared values and dedication to delivering high quality services make this partnership a natural progression. Together, we aim to build upon Terry’s legacy and further enhance our presence in the Northeastern market. We look forward to servicing the state of Maryland.”

Dealer Services Network’s track record in Florida, Georgia, Louisiana and Pennsylvania underscores the organization’s commitment to its vehicle tag and title services, which will now extend across Maryland.

“I am enthusiastic about the potential this partnership brings,” said Terry Smack, founder of Terry’s Tag and Title Service. “Joining forces with the Dealer Services Network provides the opportunity to further enhance service offerings to the Maryland community.”
