Once you're approved, our Finance team handles the paperwork-they'll prepare your loan agreement, title, and registration documents. You'll review everything, sign, and usually pick up your keys the same day or very soon after.

Bring a valid driver's license, proof of insurance, and proof of income (pay stub or tax return). If you're trading in a vehicle, bring its title and keys. Our team will guide you through each step so there are no surprises.

The whole process is designed to be smooth and quick. Call Castle Cadillac McHenry's Finance team at (779) 265-4427 with any questions before you come in. We'll make sure everything is ready when you arrive.
