What to Expect When You Arrive

Once you arrive, park in the main aisle near the prominent Big Green Tent and inform the staff that you're here for an appraisal. Our dedicated Appraisal Manager will then come out to your vehicle and thoroughly inspect it. They will capture several photographs, take note of the VIN, and verify the registration details.

Upon completion, the Appraisal Manager will present you with a detailed and accurate appraisal, which remains valid for an entire week.
Time to Accept Your Offer!
Upon receiving your completed appraisal at Own A Car Fresno, should you agree to sell your vehicle, you'll be asked to provide your loan information, which includes the bank name and account number. Our team will promptly prepare the necessary documents for the transaction, such as the DMV 262 form, the California Release of Liability form, and the Loan Payoff Authorization form. All parties will execute and sign these contracts to finalize the sale. The payment will be divided into two portions: the loan amount, which is issued to the finance company, and the remaining balance, paid directly to you as the seller. With the transaction completed, you can enjoy the convenience of immediate payment and are free to cash your check!
