Confirm the car is ready before you book
Title in hand, payment cleared and a named contact who can release the vehicle. Most delays come from the seller, not the truck.
Use the condition report as your inspection
The bill of lading signed at pickup is your independent record of how the car looked when it left.
Auction pickups have rules
Gate passes, release forms and set hours. Give us the auction name and buyer number and we handle it.
Talk it through with a dispatcher
