(EL PASO COUNTY, Colo.) — The El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Office reopened the Dealer’s Desk on Monday, Aug. 12 after it was closed for four years.

The Dealer’s Desk is a specific DMV office that allows more than 140 car dealerships in El Paso County to file vehicle title and registration paperwork. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the desk was closed for years for safety precautions.

“We are thrilled to open this state-of-the-art DMV office, designed to streamline processes and enhance the efficiency of dealer transactions,” said El Paso County Clerk and Recorder Steve Schleiker. “With dedicated staff and tailored services, we aim to make your experience smoother and more convenient.”

For the past four years, dealers had to go to the DMV office and wait for a specific clerk to help them. Typically, dealer transactions can take multiple hours. The reopening of the Dealer’s Desk gives dealerships an exclusive office, staffed with multiple specialized clerks, to file complicated transactions and paperwork more quickly.

“Dealers in Colorado Springs promote a lot of money towards El Paso County and we would like to be able to increase that,” said Anne Patterson of BML Dealer Supplies and Title Service. “This Dealer’s Desk helps our customers and (county) customers process their paperwork in a more efficient way.”
