T&J Dealer Services has acquired INet Financial Services, a Texas-based innovator in dealership financing solutions.
INet was founded by the late Michael Jones in 2000. INet became the first self-funded correspondent lender in the RV industry in 2002, and facilitated finance operations for over 600 dealerships nationwide.
T&J Dealer Services said the acquisition secures INet’s legacy and opens new growth and capability through T&J Dealer Services’ backend expertise and infrastructure.
T&J Dealer Services founder and CEO Justin Stuckey said, “This partnership is not only about merging services—it is about continuing a legacy. Michael was an industry innovator who developed one of the first remote-run F&I departments and a suite of in-house solutions, including CRM and GAP products. By combining INet’s dealer-focused finance solutions with TJ’s backend technology and services, we are creating a powerhouse that helps dealerships run smarter and serve customers better.”
The merger preserves INet’s brand identity and team. INet’s Austin, Texas, operations will remain in place. The entire staff will remain with the company, including Gretchen Jones, Michael Jones’ wife and longtime business partner, and Kramer Jones, Michael Jones’ son, who has worked full-time at INet for the past eight years.
Kramer Jones said, “T&J Dealer Services brings the infrastructure, technology and coaching we need to grow. This gives us the opportunity to take what my father built and scale it without losing the values that made INet successful—honesty, innovation and a focus on getting the best deal for the customer.”
Gretchen Jones said, “From the very first conversation, it felt like this partnership was meant to be.”
