Shipping

How Shipping Works

While we are not a shipping company ourselves, we work with a network of trusted, fully insured third-party transporters.

  1. Get a Quote: Once you’ve selected your vehicle, we can help you get an estimated shipping quote based on your zip code.

  2. Detailed Paperwork: We handle the bill of sale and title documentation via overnight mail to ensure everything is legal and ready before the truck arrives.

  3. Vehicle Preparation: We perform a final inspection and take "Departure Photos" of your vehicle before it is loaded onto the transport truck.

  4. Delivery: The driver will contact you to coordinate a drop-off time at your home or a nearby accessible parking lot.


Buying "Sight-Unseen" with Confidence

We understand that buying a car over the internet can be a big step. To make it easier, we offer:

  • Virtual Walk-Arounds: Request a high-definition video of the vehicle, including the engine running and a detailed look at the rust-free undercarriage.

  • Third-Party Inspections: You are welcome to hire a mobile mechanic to come to our lot and inspect the vehicle for you before you pay.

  • Transparent Disclosures: We highlight any imperfections upfront so there are no surprises when the car rolls off the trailer.


The "Fly & Drive" Option

Prefer to drive your new car home? We love meeting our customers!

  • Airport Pickup: If you fly into Indianapolis International Airport (IND), let us know your flight details. We are happy to arrange a shuttle or pickup to bring you straight to our dealership.

  • Temporary Tags: We can provide temporary plates so you can legally drive your new purchase back to your home state.
