When checking out...
The check-out procedure takes time, much like at a regular DMV/MVA office If you are only purchasing one vehicle, it is a good idea to proceed directly to the main counter after you leave your payment (???) at the auction office to start the check-out process. Our friendly staff tries very hard to accommodate everyone as fast as they can and thank you in advance for your patience! Again, the check-out procedure takes time.
If there are any questions to any of these policies,
Only the office or general manager may provide the correct answers.
Thank You
