Questions
About title, registration & DMV paperwork.
Can you register the car for me?
We prepare and check the paperwork and can coordinate with a licensed registration service. Some steps, like VIN verification, require the vehicle to be present.
How long does an auction title take to arrive?
Many titles arrive within one to three weeks after payment. Some states and sellers take longer, and we chase every delay.
Is my information kept private?
Yes. Documents are used only for your transaction and are not shared beyond the auction, carrier and agencies involved.
