Towing and pickup in Provo
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 Provo 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.
Utah title and paperwork rules
Sign the Utah title over to the buyer and complete the odometer disclosure where it applies.
For a lost Utah title, apply for a duplicate with TC-123 (Application for Duplicate Title), which can often be handled online. Where the ownership chain is broken, the Utah DMV bonded-title route is the normal path.
If a lien is recorded, contact the lienholder about the title and a lien release. A sale or scrap pickup does not erase an outstanding loan.
Remove the plates and keep them for transfer.
File a notice of sale with the Utah DMV after the sale and keep your signed sale documents.

Provo seller checklist
Title in your name or your Utah 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 Utah rules.
A written offer with pickup and payment terms confirmed, a signed bill of sale you keep, your Utah sale notice filed afterwards, and insurance cancelled only once the car has physically left.
