Bring your vehicle's title (or proof of ownership), keys, and any service records you have-they help document care and condition. Your driver's license and insurance information are also handy. If you still owe money on the car, bring recent loan statements. Having these ready speeds up the appraisal and paperwork process. If you're unsure what you need or have questions about your specific situation, call (847) 593-4700 and our team will guide you on exactly what to bring.
