Chris Smith, President Astate-of-the-art vehicle title and registration services provider, Opus Vehicle Titling & Registration (Opus VTR) enables dealerships to directly outsource their vehicle titling and registration requirements in a time-saving and cost-efficient manner. Its Express Pro software ensures accurate fee collection, tax calculations and end-to-end vehicle documentation across 50 U.S. states.
Opus VTR provides peace of mind by elevating customer experience for various sectors, from auto auctions and power sports to motorcycles and rentals. Showcasing true flexibility, its powerful software and dedicated team also support recreational vehicles (RV), watercraft and commercial fleet dealerships.
A web-based platform, Express Pro has built-in vehicle identification number (VIN) decoding, which saves dealers several keystrokes on their device screens. Upon entering the VIN, the software automatically decodes gear, make, model, color and other necessary features before identifying the manufacturer-suggested retail price (MSRP). It also displays the pricing finalized with the buyer and calculates lease or loan payments accordingly. Express Pro essentially guides dealers through the sale of the vehicle while providing tags, titles and fees that match with the customer’s state Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
“From the buyer’s order placement to the complete vehicle tag and titling, our intelligent vehicle inspection and vast support know-how expedite a dealership’s paperwork and ensure successful automobile sales closures,” says Chris Smith, president of Opus Vehicle Titling & Registration.
One particular challenge that Smith aims to address with Express Pro is the inconsistent vehicle titling and registration knowledge across different states. In some regions, dealers have limited understanding of the landscape at large, while in others, the business owners are exclusively aware of local rules. Compounding this variability are industry shortages driven by low inventory manufacturing, rising interest rates and rapid increase in cross-state sales of automobiles.
Opus VTR addresses all tax-based complexities and reciprocity rules to equip customers with much-needed out-of-state and interstate vehicle compliance.
Maintaining certified partnerships with DMVs across the country, Opus VTR ensures its services are hassle-free and always comply with relevant regulations. Regardless of the vehicle or state of origin, Express Pro can process transactions on actual DMV terminals or through a full system integration that eliminates third-party costs, contractual commitments, auditing risks and potential vehicle delivery delays. The company acts as a middleman that connects dealerships with government systems and state agencies to deliver real-time title processing and faster sales.

A success story substantiating Opus VTR’s comprehensive capabilities is of a long-standing client whose newly joined title clerks struggled to prepare and process paperwork for their growing customer base. Express Pro guided them through the titling and registration process and educated them on ways to review software data, analyze recurring errors and develop immediate solutions. Opus VTR also defined important titling and registration terms before working with them through their dealings to ensure confidence and comfort. Ultimately, the client received cleaner and streamlined paperwork. A testament to Opus VTR’s long-term impact is its continued support after the initial engagement, allowing the dealership’s clerks to reach out for further clarification and retention of what was taught and learned.

Aiming to achieve higher success, Opus VTR recently partnered with AppOne, a state-of-the-art platform that connects dealers with lenders, to diversify its capabilities. Express Pro’s integration with AppOne enables dealers to rapidly generate accurate out-of-state transaction estimates, eliminate data duplication and reduce omissions at no additional charge. Above all, the collaboration makes Opus VTR the only out-of-state titling company that offers these competencies.
The company’s team of 50 highly experienced processors empowers this tech-enabled capability, leveraging their well-versed knowledge of every state’s vehicle registration laws. Collectively, they provide high-level service, consultation and guidance, from product installation to service delivery. This proficiency equips dealerships and their staff with superior lien-processing precision and speed.
Delivering approximately 10,000,000 title and registration transactions since 2018 at a rate of 12,000 titles per month, Opus VTR aims to develop more ongoing and long-term relationships with dealers. It strives to optimize vehicle sales across the U.S. by strengthening dealerships with an innovative vehicle titling and registration platform.
