Park & Sell

You may be familiar with the idea of consignment. People consign all sorts of items. It is really no different with us, as long as it is on wheels, we will try to get you a consignment deal! We consign Cars, Trucks, SUVs, Motorhomes, Travel Trailers, Cargo Trailers, Motorcycles, Side-by-Side’s, Snowmachines.   Consignment is a process whereby we help you sell your vehicle. We have far more resources and support than most individuals have, and we help people, like you, get your vehicle sold, with very little effort on your part.     So how does this whole process work?  

Valuation of Your Vehicle

Bring your vehicle to Car Pros Alaska and will conduct an appraisal. Our sales and management staff evaluate your car, based on its history, current market value and any other pertinent information and present you with a current market value assessment.  

Marketing Your Vehicle

Most people have a hard time marketing their own vehicle.  It takes time, effort, and knowledge. At Car Pros Alaska we have a professional customer service team, a safe and well-lit lot, and an attractive website that all help advertise and sell your vehicle. We take care to professionally photograph and list your car on Craigslist, Cars.com and other popular sites frequented by car buyers. We also offer cleaning and detailing services to get your vehicle showroom-ready before it is photographed and marketed to potential buyers. We leverage the power of a professional team, a good name, and proven marketing strategies to help clients, like you, match vehicles to potential buyers, taking the weight off of your shoulders.  

The Process

For many, the process of actually selling a car, along with all the paperwork involved, can be daunting.  This is a huge benefit to consigning with us.  We take care of all the paperwork and documentation.  We take care of buyer inquiries, test drives and client support, and all the pertinent paperwork, such as bill of sales and DMV paperwork. This process, when done through consignment, also keeps the parties anonymous, freeing you to do the things you need to do in your busy life, without having to worry.  

Even More Value

Many consigners may not think of the fact that this is a huge benefit to sellers, but it really is.  Sellers benefit from time saved and professionals working for them, while buyers can benefit from services and products they cannot get in the private market setting.  Buyers can get used vehicle financing through our professional services.  They can also get extended warranties or service agreements, giving both you and them peace of mind.  We can also help transport vehicles, when needed for clients out of our local service area. These services are something most sellers cannot provide.  It ensures the transactions are professional and supports both parties.  This can help maximize your sale price, save you time, and keep everyone confident in the process.   Cost to you Our services are available to you with zero upfront cost. We operate on a straightforward fee structure to facilitate the sale of your vehicle. For vehicles consigned under $30,000, we charge a flat fee of $1,495. For vehicles with a selling price above $30,000, our selling fee is calculated at 5% of the selling price. You determine the desired sale price, and we simply append our fee to that price, proceeding to diligently work on the sale of your vehicle. Contrary to many other companies that charge a commission of 10-20% to sell your car, we operate differently. If the car doesn't sell, you owe us nothing, thereby ensuring fairness and equality in every transaction. Please note that the flat fee of $1,495 or the flat percentage of 5% will be charged once the vehicle is sold. Showroom Placement In addition to our transparent and straightforward fee structure for the sale of your vehicle, we provide an exclusive opportunity for consignors.
