Trade-In FAQ
1. How is my trade-in vehicle evaluated?
At Robinson Chevrolet, we use a combination of live data and trusted sources to evaluate your vehicle, including:
- CARFAX Canada for history reports (accidents, service, ownership)
- Kelley Blue Book (KBB) for market-based pricing
- Live auction data, local trends, and retail demand analysis
2. What’s the difference between CARFAX and Kelley Blue Book?

Yes, and it’s quite common. We’ll help pay off the existing loan, and any positive or negative equity can be rolled into your next vehicle deal.

- Clean the vehicle inside and out
- Fix small repairs (burnt-out lights, scratches)
