Always keep your title in a safe place. Do not store the title in your vehicle. Maintain your vehicle regularly according to the owner's manual to prolong the life of the vehicle. If repairs are needed, consult the bureau's Auto Repair Rights and Repair Tips, Consumer's Guide to Collision Repairs, Consumer's Guide to Automatic Transmission Service, Consumer's Guide to Vehicle Restoration and Consumer's Guide to Brake Repair Service brochures to learn your rights and what to expect from a competent repair shop. If you have a complaint about a vehicle dealer, contact the Bureau of Automotive Regulation at the telephone number listed below.
Test drive the vehicle and, if possible, have it inspected by a mechanic.
Be sure the mileage is recorded properly on the back of your title. Make sure the owner named on the front of the title is the same person signing the back of the title. If an owner is deceased, special papers are required from the owner's legal representative or heir. The seller must enter the vehicle mileage, date, selling price and sign his or her name. If more than one owner is named on the front of the title, each person must sign.
