Bring your vehicle's title (or proof of ownership), current registration, and keys. If your car has an outstanding loan, bring proof of the payoff amount-we can handle that paperwork seamlessly during financing. A service history is helpful but not required. Have your driver's license ready too. If you're unsure about any documents or your title status, just call (779) 600-2956 and our team will walk you through exactly what you need. We make the paperwork easy so you can focus on finding your next car.
