Common Questions
Do I need an appointment?
Nope, just walk in. But if you want to make sure we’re not busy, you can call ahead.
How much does it cost?
We charge a small service fee on top of the DMV fees. Way worth it to avoid the DMV lines. Call us for specific pricing.
How long does it take?
Most transactions take 15-30 minutes. Way faster than the DMV.
Can you handle out-of-state transfers?
Yes! If you’re moving to California from another state, we can help you register your vehicle here.
What if I don’t have insurance yet?
No problem – we sell insurance too. We’ll get you insured first, then handle your DMV stuff right after. One-stop shop.

Yes, we accept cash, credit cards, and debit cards.
What if I have tickets or unpaid fees?
We can look that up for you and let you know what needs to be paid before we can process your registration.
Registration Renewal – What You Need to Know
When to Renew
You can renew up to 60 days before your expiration date. Don’t wait until the last minute – if your registration expires, you could get a ticket.
Smog Check
Most vehicles need a smog check every 2 years. If your renewal notice says you need one, get it done first. We can recommend local smog shops.
Fees
Registration fees vary based on your vehicle’s value, weight, and type. We’ll tell you exactly what you owe.
Late Fees
If your registration is already expired, there are late fees. The longer you wait, the more it costs. Get it done ASAP.
Title Transfers – What You Need
Buying From a Private Party
- Signed title from seller
- Bill of sale with price and date
- Smog certificate (unless exempt)
- Your insurance info
- Payment for transfer and registration fees
Selling Your Car
- Sign over the title to the buyer
- Give them a bill of sale
- File a Notice of Transfer and Release of Liability (we can do this for you so you’re not liable if they don’t register it)
Gift or Family Transfer
Different rules apply if you’re gifting a car to family. Sometimes you can save on fees. Let us know and we’ll walk you through it.
Out-of-State Vehicle Registration
Moving to California? Here’s what you need to register your out-of-state vehicle:
- Out-of-state title
- VIN verification (we can do this or you can get it done at a CHP office)
- Smog certificate
- Insurance
- Payment for California registration
You have 20 days from when you become a California resident to register your vehicle. Don’t wait – penalties add up.
Commercial Vehicle Registration
Got a work truck or commercial vehicle? We handle those too. Requirements are a bit different so give us a call and we’ll tell you what you need.
Tips to Make It Easy
Bring Everything
Check what documents you need and bring them all. Missing one thing means you’ll have to come back.
Get Smog Done First
If you need a smog check, do that before coming in. We can’t process your registration without it.
Have Your Insurance Info
We need proof of insurance for most transactions. If you don’t have insurance yet, we’ll set that up first.
Know Your VIN
If you don’t have your registration card, at least know your VIN. We can look up your vehicle with that.
Pay Your Tickets
If you have unpaid tickets or violations, those need to be cleared before we can renew your registration.
