Who handles the title transfer?
Title transfers are managed directly between the buyer and the seller. Garage does not play a role in this process, so it’s important that you confirm details with the seller before moving forward.
What buyers should do before purchasing:
Ask the seller if they have the title in their name/entity.
Request a copy of the title or confirmation of the current title holder to ensure there are no surprises later.
How title transfers typically happen:
After the purchase is confirmed, discuss with the seller how you’ll receive the title. There are two common methods:
In the vehicle – The seller places the signed title in the glove compartment. You’ll receive it when you take delivery of the vehicle.
By mail – The seller mails the signed title directly to your address after the sale.
👉 Tip: Make sure you and the seller are clear on which option will be used, and follow up promptly if you don’t receive the title as expected.
