Yes, we evaluate vehicles in all conditions. If your car needs work-mechanical repairs, body damage, or cosmetic touches-we factor that into the appraisal. You won't get top dollar for a car needing major repairs, but we'll still give you a fair offer that reflects its current state. This actually makes trading in easier: you don't have to pay for repairs yourself before selling. Bring it as-is, and we'll handle it from there. Want to know what your car is worth in its current condition? Bring it by 2020 Ogden Ave or call (630) 598-9986 to schedule your free appraisal.
