Vehicle Prep

If you’re interested in making a trade-in, one of the first things you will want to do is prep your car. Doing so will restore the condition of the vehicle and help maximize your return.

Some simple ways to prepare your car for trade-in include:

• Cleaning and detailing the vehicle
• Providing service where needed
• Fixing body issues like scratches and dents

Once your car is ready to go, you may want to do some research, looking into its value. Tap our trade-in calculator to receive an estimate of its worth!

• Vehicle Inspection

With a new vehicle picked out, you will be ready to start moving toward completing a deal. One of the first steps in that journey will be having your old vehicle inspected in our shop. We’ll take a look under the hood and in the interior, making sure everything is in working order.

Additionally, at this time, we’ll conduct some research, looking into your vehicle’s value on the open market.

• Offer and Acceptance

Having learned more about your vehicle, we’ll be able to present you with an offer. If you would like to accept the offer and move towards completing your trade-in, we’ll just need to take a look at…

• License
• Registration
• Title

From there, we can confirm your ownership of the vehicle and move forward.

• Complete Your Trade-in

To complete your trade-in, you will just need to sort through some documents and deal points with our finance team, ultimately signing the dotted line.
