Bring your vehicle's title (proof of ownership), keys, and a valid photo ID. If you have recent service records, those help show your car has been maintained-and can positively influence its value. If your vehicle has a lien (outstanding loan), don't worry; our finance team handles that paperwork and pays off the loan from your trade-in credit. Having everything ready speeds up the process. Call **(779) 600-2956** if you have questions about what you need, or just come in-our team is great at walking you through it.
