Did not see the exact vehicle you were hoping for in our current inventory? Car City Central is here to help. Our Vehicle Locating Service allows you to tell us what you are looking for, and our team will search trusted sources to help locate a dependable vehicle that fits your needs and your budget.

Whether you are shopping for a specific make or model, a certain price range, or features that are hard to find, we work to simplify the process and remove the frustration of endless searching. Share what you need below, and our team will get to work helping you find the right vehicle.

We Make Finding Your Next Vehicle Easier
Inventory moves quickly, and the right vehicle is not always available on the lot at the right moment. That is why Car City Central offers a Vehicle Locating Service designed to help you find what you want, even if it is not currently in stock. Through established relationships with auctions, wholesalers, and partner sources, we can often locate vehicles more efficiently than searching on your own.

Your Needs Come First
Every driver has different priorities. Some need fuel efficiency, others need extra seating, towing capability, advanced safety features, or a specific brand they trust. Our team takes the time to understand what matters most to you and focuses on locating vehicles that make sense for your lifestyle and budget, without pressure or confusion.

Helpful for Budget Focused and Credit Challenged Buyers
Because Car City Central works with a wide range of financing options, we can often help customers locate vehicles that align with both transportation needs and payment goals. When we locate a vehicle on your behalf, we consider value, reliability, and overall condition so the option makes sense for your situation.

Our Vehicle Locating Process
Once you submit your request, our team reviews your details and begins searching available sources. We will follow up as potential matches become available and review options with you before moving forward. Vehicles brought in through our locating service are evaluated and prepared before being presented for viewing or test driving.

What You Can Tell Us
The more details you provide, the better we can match you with the right vehicle. Helpful information includes:
  • Preferred make and model
  • Budget range or payment goals
  • Body style such as sedan, SUV, truck, or van
  • Seating or cargo space needs
  • Desired mileage or year range
  • Important features such as AWD, backup camera, towing, or navigation
No request is too specific. Our goal is to help you find a vehicle that fits your needs, not just what happens to be available today.

We Are Here to Help You Get Behind the Wheel
Finding the right vehicle should not be stressful. Our Vehicle Locating Service is designed to make the process more personal and efficient. Whether you need something family friendly, fuel efficient, or work ready, Car City Central is committed to helping you move forward with confidence.

Vehicle Locating FAQs
Is there a fee to use the Vehicle Locating Service?

In most cases, there is no upfront fee to submit a locating request. Our team will explain any requirements before moving forward with a specific vehicle.

How long does it take to locate a vehicle?

Timing can vary based on availability, demand, and how specific your request is. Some vehicles are located quickly, while others may take additional time. We provide updates as options become available.

Am I required to buy a vehicle that is located for me?

Can you locate vehicles for customers with credit challenges?

Yes. We regularly assist customers with a wide range of credit situations. When possible, we focus on locating vehicles that align with realistic payment goals and financing options.

What if the vehicle I want is hard to find?

Even hard to find vehicles can sometimes be located through extended search networks. While availability is never guaranteed, we will communicate openly about options and alternatives that may meet your needs.
