A little preparation can make an appraisal much simpler. Before you visit, call our team to confirm the documents needed for your specific ownership situation.
Your photo ID and ownership information.
Bring a valid government-issued photo ID and your vehicle registration. If you hold the title, bring it. If another person is listed as an owner, ask whether both owners need to attend and sign.
Your keys—and the spares.
Bring all available keys, fobs and accessories. Maintenance records and relevant warranty information can also help explain your vehicle’s history.
Loan, lease, or electronic title details.
If your lender or leasing company holds an interest in the vehicle, bring its contact and account information so the team can review a current payoff. For electronic titles or special ownership arrangements, confirm the required process before visiting.
An honest picture of the vehicle.
Tell the appraiser about damage, warning lights, modifications or known issues. The final offer follows vehicle inspection and document verification—not an online estimate alone.
General preparation guidance, not legal or financial advice. Requirements vary by title, lender and ownership circumstances. Confirm the details with the dealership and your lender.
