To make the financing process smooth, bring a valid ID, proof of income (recent pay stubs or tax returns), proof of residence (utility bill or lease agreement), and details about any trade-in vehicle (title, registration). If you're pre-approved, bring that documentation too.

Our Finance Department will guide you through what's needed-every situation is slightly different, and they've seen it all. Having documents ready just speeds things up, but don't worry if you're not sure what you need.

**Call (815) 453-8566** before you visit to ask what to bring for your specific situation. You can also come in and our team will help you figure out what's needed on the spot. We're here to make it easy.
