More than one vehicle?
one visit, one contact, one settlement
Two vehicles or twenty. Scheduling them individually is the slow way to do this, and the paperwork multiplies for no reason.
- One appointment
- One point of contact
- Consolidated paperwork
- Licensed Ohio dealer
Most of what's on this site assumes one person selling one car. Fleet is the other shape: a business retiring vehicles, a company changing its policy, a contractor downsizing, or a household with three cars and two drivers. The work is the same per vehicle. What changes is the coordination, and that's the part worth getting right.
What counts as a fleet here
There's no threshold you have to hit. If it's more than one vehicle and you'd rather deal with it once, this is the right page.
- Business vehicles being retired. Service vans, work trucks, pool cars. Cycling out on schedule or all at once.
- A company changing its vehicle policy. Moving to allowances, to leasing, or out of company cars entirely.
- A contractor or trade downsizing. Fewer crews, fewer trucks.
- An estate or a business closing. Several vehicles to resolve alongside everything else.
- A household with more cars than drivers. Two or three, and nobody's driven one of them since spring.
What changes when it's several vehicles
Not the appraisal — each vehicle still gets the full inspection, the lift, the diagnostic scan and its own condition report. What changes is everything around it.
- One appointment. We schedule for the whole set rather than making you book five times.
- One point of contact. The same person from first call to settlement, so nobody re-explains the situation.
- We'll come to you. Usually easier than moving several vehicles across town, and there's no charge for it.
- Itemized, then totalled. A number per vehicle so you can see the reasoning on each, and a total for the set. You can sell some and keep others.
- Consolidated paperwork. One settlement rather than five separate transactions to reconcile.
Work vehicles are priced differently, and often better
There's a persistent assumption that a work vehicle is worth less because it's been worked. That's frequently wrong and it's worth correcting.
A fleet-maintained vehicle with complete service records often appraises higher than a privately owned equivalent without them. Fleets service on schedule because downtime costs money, and that discipline shows up in the mechanicals.
Ladder rack holes, toolbox mounts, shelving and plow prep don't disqualify a vehicle. They narrow the buyer pool, which we price, but they're not the disaster owners expect. Tell us up front so it's priced correctly the first time rather than revised after the inspection.
Livery and decals are usually straightforward to remove and we'd rather you left them than damaged the paint getting them off.
The paperwork side of a business sale
More involved than a personal sale, and worth sorting before the appointment rather than during it.
- Who signs. If the title is in a company name, whoever signs needs authority to do it. Bring whatever documents that, and check it before the day.
- Titles for every vehicle. Missing ones need duplicates from an Ohio Clerk of Courts, and that's days, so audit them early.
- Liens per vehicle. Some fleets have loans on some units and not others. We handle each lender separately and it doesn't hold up the rest.
- Plates. In Ohio the registration belongs to you, not the vehicle. Every plate comes off.
- Your accountant will want the itemization. Which is why we provide it per vehicle rather than only as a total.
What we can't take
The same two limits apply to every vehicle in a fleet, and they're worth auditing before we come out.
Clean titles only. Salvage, rebuilt and reconstructed are outside what we buy. On a mixed fleet that occasionally rules out one or two units, and it's better identified from the VINs beforehand than discovered in your yard.
Every vehicle has to run and drive. If one of them hasn't started since last year, say so — it's often a battery, and a cheap fix on a unit that's otherwise sound is worth doing before we arrive.
Send the VIN list and we'll check the whole set for title status before anyone schedules anything.
Common questions
How many vehicles do I need for this to apply?
More than one. There's no threshold — if you'd rather handle it in a single appointment than book separately for each, this is the right route. It works the same for a household with three cars as for a business retiring a dozen service vans.
Are work vehicles worth less because they've been used hard?
Often less than owners expect, and sometimes more than an equivalent private vehicle. A fleet-maintained truck with complete service records frequently appraises higher than a privately owned one without them, because fleets service on schedule. Ladder rack holes, toolbox mounts and plow prep narrow the buyer pool and get priced, but they don't disqualify anything.
Can you come to our yard or lot?
Yes, and it's usually easier than moving several vehicles across town. There's no charge for it and nothing is deducted from your offer. Send the VIN list beforehand and we'll have the title and history checks done before anyone arrives, so the visit is spent on the vehicles rather than on paperwork.
Do I have to sell all of them?
No. Each vehicle is appraised and priced individually, so you get a number per unit and a total for the set. Sell all of them, some of them, or none. People regularly keep two and sell four once they can see the numbers side by side.
What if some vehicles have loans and others don't?
That's normal on a fleet and it doesn't complicate things much. We handle each lender separately, and a slow payoff on one unit doesn't hold up the rest of the settlement. Tell us which vehicles have liens when you send the list so we can start those requests early.
Who needs to sign if the titles are in the company name?
Whoever signs needs authority to sell on the company's behalf, and you should bring whatever documents that. It varies by how the business is structured, so it's worth checking before the appointment rather than on the day — it's the most common thing that turns one visit into two.
