Made the drive to Central Auto Mart in Topeka — posting notes since this board runs on receipts. They keep around 134 vehicles, mostly diesel pickups. They were totally fine with my mechanic doing a once-over, which honestly settles half the trust question.
Lot address: 3343 Haul Rd, Topeka, KS. Visitor parking: Front-lot customer stalls facing the office; overflow on the side street near Topeka lot gate.
Paper side: licensed with the state (looked it up), about 100% of stock has title in hand per the office, and they offer no warranty — as-is, but any inspection welcome.
Overall: decent cars, pushy back office. The $299 doc fee is fine but watch the add-on sheet — say no twice and the price comes back to earth.
