We all know the drill: you accept a trade-in vehicle and want to turn it around to sell, but now you’re waiting on lien payoffs, title release and all the extra requirements that accompany the entire trade-in process. This could take weeks or, at times, even months.
With immediate payoff quotes and nationwide lien payoffs, Accelerated Title™ turns back an expensive, long trade-in process to just 4-6 days, saving time, money and headaches for your staff.
To learn more about how Accelerated Title™ redefines how dealerships manage trade-in and title release and what it can bring to your dealership, reach out to your Account Executive, visit our website or schedule a demo using the link below.


We’ve all been there — a transaction lands on your desk and you realize, “Well, this one can’t be done in Vitu.” Whether it’s a Share the Road plate, Gold Star Family, Amateur (HAM) Radio Operator, a custom plate or another specialty request, you’re left wondering, “What fees do I send to the DMV this time?”
No worries — Vitu’s got your back!

This not only clears up the confusion but helps the DMV process it faster. Just go to Lookups in Vitu and select OR Fee Quote — it’s that easy.
