Interior Cleaning and Detailing

Hiring a professional for cleaning and detailing could break the bank. Instead, you could pull out your own cleaning supplies if you’re looking to save money. Not sure where to start? Focus on these core areas:

• Remove all personal items and trash from the car.
• Vacuum the carpet and upholstery thoroughly.
• If the floor mats are stained, you can wash them with carpet shampoo.
• Wash the windows and windshield inside and out.
• Pull twigs and leaves out from the area where the wipers sit.
• Check the trunk for any belongings.
• Ensure that the spare tire, car jack and tools are all in their proper places.
• Want to take it to the next level? Polish your tires and rims for extra sparkle and shine.

Exterior Refurbishments

When you own a vehicle for a while, you can’t help the small scratches and dents it may collect over time. Unfortunately, these small imperfections could have a significant impact on your car’s overall value and appearance. For small-scale damage, you may be able to repair it yourself with tools from your local auto parts store. However, if you notice extensive damage that needs professional attention, make sure to avoid overspending on repairs. If the costs continue to rack up, your best option may be to sell your vehicle as-is.

Minor Repairs and Replacements

Do you have a broken windshield wiper or burnt out headlight? If the issues are small enough, it’s in your best interest to fix them before you decide to sell your vehicle. Again, if the repair estimates are costly, we highly recommend selling the car as-is.

Removing Customizations

We all collect fun bumper stickers and add accessories to our cars the longer we own them. But if you decide to sell your car, you’ll want to return your model to its original state as closely as possible. If you made any major changes to more permanent features of your car (such as the paint color), just give us a heads up when you bring in your vehicle for sale.
