Why Your Service Records Matter When You Sell or Trade Your Vehicle

If you've kept your service records, bring them with you when you come to Back Roads Automotive. They can help us understand how your vehicle has been cared for and can support its value.

We are always looking for quality, well-maintained local vehicles to add to our inventory and offer to the next customer. That's one of the reasons we've built our reputation for trust throughout Hampton Roads.

Regular Maintenance Matters

Oil changes, tire rotations, brake work, fluid services, and other routine maintenance tell us that you've taken care of your vehicle.

Even a few receipts can help us get a better picture of its history.

Don't Forget the Big Repairs

If you've had major work done, bring those records too. Things like new brakes, tires, batteries, cooling system work, or other major repairs can be helpful when we're evaluating your vehicle.

Digital Records Count Too

Don't have a folder full of receipts? That's okay.

Many dealerships and repair shops keep service records electronically. Bring whatever information you have available.

We Buy Cars — Even If You're Not Buying One

You don't have to purchase another vehicle from us to sell us your current one.

Back Roads Automotive buys vehicles from local customers all the time, and we're interested in clean, quality cars, trucks, and SUVs.

We'll evaluate your vehicle, show you the market research behind our offer, and explain how we arrived at the number. Our goal is to make sure you understand the value of your vehicle and feel confident about the offer.

What Should You Bring?

  • Service and maintenance records

  • Receipts for major repairs

  • Digital service history

  • Title and registration

  • Payoff information if you still have a loan

Your Vehicle Has a Story

Your service records are just one part of the evaluation. We also look at condition, mileage, equipment, vehicle history, and current market demand.
