Frequently Asked Questions

Everything You Need to Know

Do I need insurance to test drive a vehicle?

Please bring proof of active auto insurance along with a valid driver’s license.

Do I need every single document listed on this page?

No. What you need depends on your appointment. Trade-in paperwork is only needed if you’re trading in a vehicle. If you’re financing through us, certain documents, such as proof of income or proof of residence, may only be required if applicable. If you have these items available, it’s best to bring them with you so you’re prepared if they’re needed.

Why is unfreezing all three credit bureaus important?

Lenders query different credit bureaus depending on the financing institution. Having all three bureaus temporarily unfrozen prevents approval stalls or financing delays.
