I appreciate Capital working with me to pick up my car within my timeframe of 8-2 instead of their 8-3. The driver for Capital was timely in arriving at 1:00 p.m. and had my car ready in tow by 1:30 p.m.

You made this process seamless for me. Instructions were clear and concise and it was easy to schedule the pick up with the towing crew. Also appreciated the very helpful tutorial on signing the title over. Great job!
