Vehicle Inspection

Once your car is prepped, you will be ready to come visit our dealership. Here, we’ll take your vehicle back into our shop and conduct an inspection, making sure that everything is in working order.

At this time, we’ll also do some research, looking into its value and desirability on the open market.

Offer

Having learned more about your vehicle, we will be able to present you with an offer.

From there, you are free to work at your own pace. Accept or decline on the spot or even head home and think about it for a bit. If you do decide to accept at any point, we’ll just need to take a look at your license as well as the title and registration for the vehicle.
