Delivery day is exciting! Here's what to expect so you feel confident and ready.

**Paperwork & Finance**

Our Finance team will review and finalize all loan or lease documents. This typically takes 30-45 minutes. You'll sign the purchase agreement, financing paperwork, and warranty documents. Ask any questions-this is not the time to rush. Bring your ID and proof of insurance.

**Vehicle Inspection**

Our team will walk you through the vehicle's features: how to use climate controls, infotainment, safety systems, and storage. We'll show you where everything is and answer questions. It's your car-get comfortable with it.

**Keys & Fluids**

You'll receive all keys, fobs, and documentation (owner's manual, warranty info). We'll confirm fluid levels and tire pressure are good to go.

**Final Steps**

Take photos of the odometer and exterior condition for your records. We'll provide a summary of your purchase and next service appointment. Then you drive off the lot-congratulations!

**Total Time**

Plan on 1-2 hours from start to finish.

**Next Step**

Schedule your delivery at (847) 593-4700. Our team will make sure your day is smooth and memorable.
