Trade In Your Vehicle
Upgrade your vehicle and your $25 appraisal donation is doubled to $50!
During the Tri-State Trade-In Takeover, McGrath will donate $10 for each qualifying oil change and $25 for each qualifying vehicle appraisal to the participating nonprofit selected by the customer. The appraisal must be completed in store. If the appraised vehicle is traded in or sold to the dealership, the donation amount increases to a total of $50. No purchase, trade-in, or vehicle sale is required to qualify for an appraisal donation. Donations will be made directly to the selected nonprofit after the campaign concludes. Limit one appraisal donation per person/vehicle. See dealer for details.
