Bring your vehicle title, current registration, and keys-those are the essentials. If you have service records handy, they help show your car's maintenance history and can support its value.

If you're still financing your current vehicle, no worries; we'll work with your lender to handle the payoff as part of the trade-in. Our finance team takes care of all the details so you don't have to juggle multiple lenders.

For a complete checklist and any questions about your specific situation, call (630) 598-9950. We make the paperwork process smooth and straightforward.
