While I think PA is NUTS for privatizing government-required services like car registration, titling and emissions -- given the private sector fattens their wallets by more than doubling the actual costs (while in other states the cost is the cost -- no fat), Jack Maggs is one of the least expensive options among the ones I called. Note that most don't publicly advertise their price, which seems to be part of the big hoax -- making it a lot of work to research a more viable option. But when I'm feeling scammed like PA makes me feel as a transplant who has lived in five other states, I do my homework. Jack Maggs was a bit lower than the one that claims to price match (but was closer so -- mileage saved). They were a ten spot or so lower than AAA if you pay in cash, and significantly less than the place right near Bridgeville Licensing. At $222 for a new title, registration and plate, the amount still caught me off guard but I was more comfortable knowing they were less greedy than some of there others -- and super fast and thorough with great customer service to boot, Bottom line: Stick with the one that balances great service with a competitive price. Oh, and write your dang legislators so they take the private middle people out of government required services so you aren't gouged so deeply and in such a regressive manner. Other states charge by the value of your car... which is progressive. Get on board with what's fair! [the rant continues] Also emissions -- many states have seen the impact of these wane, and again, this cost is regressive and, when it costs twice as much here as Philly, wtf is going on. Calling around I got a range of $38 to $107 so far, and no one bats an eye -- but you should. For a "cheap" city per internet research, the costs are mighty high compared to "expensive" states like WA that even the score with salaries that are higher and state income tax that is non-existent. read more

The location of Jack Maggs Agency is off the beaten path. Despite having an appointment, we had to wait, only to find out we didn't have all the necessary paperwork. The services took too long to be completed. read more

We just moved up here a few months ago from VA and needed to xfer our tags to PA, but it's a very odd process in this state. When I asked at the DMV, they didn't explain it at all but rather said, "Just go to Jack Maggs," and sent me on my way. I'm honestly so glad that they did, because everyone was SO friendly and SO helpful, I couldn't have been luckier. They didn't hold my hand, but they definitely made sure the whole process happened the way that it was supposed to and everything was done right. These ladies and gentlemen are professionals, and I hope I get the chance to refer someone to them soon. read more

no-nonsense, they know the exactly how to handle whatever situation, and they get the forms filled out, you just sign and pay! Super quick also read more

Had an out of state title transfer and was dreading going to DMV. Co-worker recommended this place. From the time I got up to the counter to the time I had a new registration and PA plates was only 15 minutes. Lots of staff on a Saturday to assist others. Make sure in advance you have everything required and it will be super easy. Don't be a jerk to the team trying to assist you - they don't make the rules. read more

I was shocked to see the manager talk my relative into $130 More services than were necessary. We just wanted to change the name on a title but the guy assured us that it wouldn't cost much to take care of all upcoming registration, etc. The bill was $190!! And under $100 of that went to the state. I kept saying "I can do this at home on the computer" while he convinced my older relative to order everything at once. Watch out for this guy. read more

2 months ago I came there to register my car. They refused to register because it was gifted and it was out-of-state. They said that I have to show papers that previous owner paid the tax. A tax amount was written on the title. But lady said it Will not work. She said that I have to get another paper and refused to serve me. She gave me Bull crap story about department of revenue that gonna call me that's why she can't do that. I went to AAA and that worked out just fine because tax amount was written on the title. They said it's sufficient. read more

I needed to transfer a title on a Saturday morning. The process was fairly painless, though the line was looooong. There were 4 people working and we still had to wait about 30 minutes. This is a great one stop shop. You can transfer a title, get a license plate on the spot, and sign up for insurance too. Overall, I'm very happy with Jack Maggs. read more

Easy to deal with, quick, no frills. The ladies are looking to do business not chit chat- that's fine with me. Don't forget to surrender your plates after you do the transfer. They'll ship em off for $10. Well worth it to save the hassle. read more

Would highly recommend Jack Maggs Agency. The people that work there are extremely helpful and I never felt rushed or felt I was a bother. This is how businesses should treat their customers. read more

Basically the best one stop title location in Pittsburgh, (I've lived here for 30+ years and the fact that the DMV can't handle title transfers still blows my mind). They have plenty of staff and are very professional. read more

The younger male working there was awesome and helped me a lot and I would highly Recommend seeing him read more

Everytime I've been here they have been friendly and willing to help make it an easy transaction.

I had notary work that needed attention. I waited in line for a very long time because they are under staffed and then I was given the wrong information with an insurance sales pitch attached. I ended up going to AAA where they got it done without issue. read more
