Towing and pickup in Chesapeake
The car does not need to run to request an offer. Describe whether it starts, rolls or steers, and confirm the pickup arrangements when you accept.
Pickup in Chesapeake is arranged after you accept an offer; timing depends on local tow-operator availability.
Tell us where the car actually sits before the truck rolls. Describe tight access, low clearance, fences or other obstacles so the pickup team can assess access. Confirm who needs to be present and which documents to bring.
Virginia title and paperwork rules
Chesapeake sellers follow Virginia state law, and the agency of record is Virginia DMV. The clean route is a title in your name: sign it at pickup, never hand over a title with the buyer's section left blank, and photograph it before it changes hands.
Replacing a lost title: VSA 66 (Application for Replacement Title). Virginia uses a bonded (surety) title when the chain of ownership is broken: you post a surety bond — typically 1.5× the vehicle's appraised value — and the Virginia DMV issues a title you can sign over.
Plates: Remove the plate — Virginia plates stay with the owner and are transferable.
Reporting the sale: Notify the Virginia DMV of the sale and keep the bill of sale for your records. That filing is what ends your liability for the vehicle — do it even though the car is already gone.
No title? What Chesapeake sellers can do
Virginia replacement titles use VSA 66 and can usually be requested online or at a customer service center. Virginia licenses salvage dealers and demolishers and requires them to report vehicles they acquire, so expect the buyer to log the VIN.
Licensed VA salvage buyers and dismantlers can generally purchase a vehicle for recycling with less than a full title, provided you present ID and the right documentation — typically starting with the VSA 66 (Application for Replacement Title).
Form numbers, fees, and year cutoffs change, so verify the current process with Virginia DMV before you commit. We deliberately don't state a VA legal requirement more precisely than we can stand behind.

Chesapeake seller checklist
Title in your name or your Virginia DMV replacement paperwork under way, photo ID, and a lien release if the car was ever financed.
Car emptied — glovebox, console, trunk, under the seats, spare-tire well — a photo of the VIN and odometer, and plates handled per Virginia rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Virginia sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
