Yes, as part of our professional appraisal, we'll review your vehicle's history to understand its background. A clean history supports your trade-in value, while accidents, major repairs, or title issues can affect the final number. Our appraisers take all of this into account alongside the physical inspection and test drive. We're transparent about how these factors influence value, and our team will explain what we find. The goal is to give you a fair, honest appraisal that reflects your car's true market value. If you have questions about your vehicle's history or how it might impact your trade, call us at (630) 864-6683 and we'll walk through it with you.
