Do You Need a UVIP?
Ontario law requires a Used Vehicle Information Package (UVIP) when selling privately. It costs ~$20 at a ServiceOntario location and shows lien history, odometer records, and registration info.
When selling to CARME Auto, you do not need a UVIP. As a licensed Ontario dealer, we obtain it ourselves — saving you a trip to ServiceOntario.

"Honestly the easiest way to sell my car in Windsor. I looked at Clutch first but they wanted me to drive to Toronto. CARME called me personally — not a call centre — and had someone pick up my car the same week. I'll be recommending these guys to everyone."
"I needed to sell my car fast in the Ottawa area and CARME was the quickest option I found. Submitted online, got an offer within a minute, whole process done in two days. Painless — I'd recommend CARME to anyone."
"I got quotes from Clutch and a couple of local dealers before trying CARME. CARME gave me the best price and Michael himself called me — not a call centre. If you want to sell your car in Toronto without the runaround, these are the guys."
"Submitted my truck and had a call back within the hour. Looked at Clutch too but CARME came to me in Ottawa instead of making me drive somewhere. Offer, pickup, payment — done in two days. Couldn't have been easier."
"Best way to sell a car without the private sale headache. I didn't want strangers at my house — CARME came to me in Hamilton, gave a fair price, no haggling, cheque the next day. Easiest car transaction I've ever made."
"Had an active loan on my SUV and wasn't sure who'd buy it. CARME was the fastest option I found in Kingston — they paid out the loan directly and handled all the paperwork. Just signed the ownership and handed over the keys."
