Here's the typical path: first, you'll find the vehicle you want (new GMC, used vehicle, or something from our ~82-vehicle inventory). Next, you'll work with our sales team to discuss price and options.

Then you'll meet with our Finance Department. They'll:
- Review your credit and income
- Present loan and lease options with your personalized rates
- Walk you through terms, monthly payments, and any incentives
- Handle all paperwork (your payment schedule, insurance requirements, contract)

Bring a valid driver's license, proof of income (recent pay stub or tax return), proof of insurance, and any trade-in documents. If you have a co-signer, they'll need to bring ID and income proof too.

The whole process usually takes a few hours. Our Finance Department aims to make it straightforward so you understand every step.
