Vehicle Titling FAQ | Star City Titling Services

Question 1

How do I request a service?

Accepted Answer

Email your specific requirements to starcitytitlingservices@gmail.com. Include the vehicle details (year, make, model, VIN if available) and a description of the titling issue. We will review your case and respond within 24 hours with a formal quote and projected timeline.

Question 2

How quickly will I receive a response?

Accepted Answer

All inquiries receive a formal response within 24 business hours. That response will include a clear explanation of the process, a projected timeline, and a price quotation specific to your situation.

Question 3

Do you work with individuals or only businesses?

Accepted Answer

We primarily serve auto dealers and repair shops, but we assist anyone with a legitimate vehicle titling need. Whether you are an individual owner, a small repair shop, or a large dealership, we can help.

Question 4

How long does a duplicate title take?

Accepted Answer

Timelines vary by state — typically between 2 and 8 weeks from the date of filing. Some states offer expedited processing for an additional fee. We will provide a specific timeline estimate with your quote.

Question 5

What is required to process an abandoned vehicle title?

Accepted Answer

Abandoned vehicle processing requires documented proof that the vehicle was left on your property, completion of state-mandated owner notification steps (usually certified mail), and adherence to a mandatory waiting period before filing. Requirements differ significantly by state — contact us with your situation for a precise breakdown.

Question 6

What information do I need to file a mechanic's lien?

Accepted Answer

You will need documentation of the repair or storage agreement, records of the unpaid balance, the vehicle's VIN and title information, and proof of your attempts to collect payment. We will specify exactly what is needed once we review your case.

Question 7

Can you title a vehicle under my business name?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Business titling requires your entity documentation — typically an EIN, articles of incorporation or organization, and a certificate of good standing. We handle the filing process and ensure the title is issued correctly in your business name.

Question 8

What does repossession title processing involve?

Accepted Answer

After a lawful repossession, we manage the documentation trail to establish clean ownership — verifying the legal basis for the repo, handling required notifications to the prior owner, and filing for a clear title. This process varies based on the original financing structure and state law.

Question 9

When is payment due?

Accepted Answer

Full payment is required prior to the commencement of any services. We will not begin processing until payment has been received and confirmed.

Question 10

What payment methods do you accept?

Accepted Answer

We accept Venmo, Zelle, Visa, Mastercard, and cashier's checks. Personal checks are not accepted.

Question 11

Are state filing fees included in the quote?

Accepted Answer

Your quote will clearly itemize our service fee and any applicable state filing fees separately. We are transparent about all costs upfront — there are no surprise charges.

Question 12

Do you offer refunds if the title cannot be obtained?

Accepted Answer

Each case is evaluated before we accept it. If we determine a title cannot be obtained through the process we have outlined, we will inform you before collecting payment. Refund terms for unusual circumstances are addressed on a case-by-case basis.

Question 13

Which states do you work in?

Accepted Answer

Contact us with your state and situation. We handle titling in multiple states and will confirm coverage when we review your inquiry.

Question 14

Can you handle multiple vehicles at once?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Dealers and repair shops with multiple vehicles to process can submit them together. We will provide a consolidated quote and manage each vehicle through to completion.

Question 15

How will I know the status of my case?

Accepted Answer

We keep you informed at key milestones throughout the process. You will receive confirmation when your filing is submitted and notification when the title has been issued or is en route.

Question 16

What if my situation does not fit neatly into one of your listed services?
