Thank you
They got it down to $143.
My dad just did it today at our local notary place.
Thats a lot in fees on top of the $58.
Could it have been done at the DMV?

Yes at the dmv it would have only cost the 58 bucks

Is $143 still high for a simple title transfer?

No I think with the class of vehicle, state fees, notary fees and processing fees, this is a fair price! If you buy from a dealer they include in the processing fees!

I am not sure if $58 is the final dollar amount, but maybe! We have always used title business due to DVM hours and wait lines are nightmare!🤷♀️

I don't think the DMV does anything for titles, only licensing, as far as I know it's only notaries that handle title and license plates in PA.

Damn, i would have waited in line for 20 minutes to save $90. Thats an insane markup for doing nothing basically. Fuck

PA doesn’t have a “DMV” like you’re thinking that most other states have

20 minutes? It's always been half a day for me.

PA is fucked up because they’re all private businesses that run notaries. Consult multiple notaries. You can go to 3 different locations and get 3 different quotes.

Unfortunately, three different results, too.

Does AAA do this?
cheelbsey t1_j5hfkbs wrote
Yes. Probably cheaper if you have AAA membership but it was pretty cheap without membership.

If you wanted to pay $58, you would have to go to PennDOT in Harrisburg. Driver license centers don't do tag and title. Going to a local independent tag and title gives you convenience and, therefore, you pay for it.

Sorry for your loss! Dealing with your mother estate can be challenging, just speaking from experience! Call a few title places! Shop around, it’s a business! Each business charges different fees! You will need a death certificate and title when you go! Ask what documents you need to complete the process!
