To move through financing smoothly, bring a government-issued ID, proof of income (recent pay stubs or tax returns), proof of residence (utility bill or lease agreement), and your Social Security number. If you have a trade-in, bring its keys and registration.

Our finance team will walk you through the application once you're in the showroom. They ask questions about employment, income stability, and debts-it's all standard and helps them find the best lender match for you.

The more organized you are, the faster the process. Everything is kept secure and confidential.

**Ready to start?** Bring your documents to Castle Chevrolet McHenry at 1107 State Route 31, or call (779) 600-2956 to ask what else might help speed things along.
