Yes, we absolutely require proof of ownership for all automotive and property services - this protects you and prevents us from being used for illegal entry. What we need: For vehicles: Valid photo ID, vehicle registration (in glove box or accessible), insurance card, or title. Your ID must match the registration name or you must be listed on the insurance. For homes/businesses: Photo ID matching the address, lease agreement (for renters), property deed, utility bill in your name, or authorization from property owner/manager. This is standard industry practice and required by law. We take security seriously and would rather lose a job than potentially help someone gain unauthorized entry. Legitimate customers appreciate our thoroughness as it protects their property too.
