To make the trade-in process smooth, bring your vehicle's title (ownership document), current registration, and any service records you have on hand. If you're still paying off a loan, have your latest loan statement showing the payoff amount.

We'll also want your driver's license and some basic information about your vehicle's history-any accidents, recent repairs, or mechanical work help us give you an accurate appraisal. If you can't locate documents, don't worry; our team can often work around gaps and help you gather what's needed. For specifics or questions about what to bring, call (779) 601-0797 before your visit.
