How To Increase the Market and Trade-In Value of Your Vehicle

Hey, everyone in West Michigan who is thinking about selling your vehicle, I've got a helpful secret for you! Most people know that the market value of your car decreases as soon as you drive it off the lot. Fortunately, if you regularly detail your car, you can increase its value when it's time to sell.

How Detailing Rejuvenates Your Automobile
Let's dive into how detailers can restore your vehicle to what it looked like when it was new:

• Experts can choose the best paint protection products to deal with elements that cause fading, scratching, wear, and tear.
  
• UV rays damage your upholstery, dashboard, and the entire trim, but detailers can address these issues.
  
• Detailers can remove your interior odor by sweeping, shampooing, sanitizing, and conditioning. Garza Detailing even has an ozone machine!
  
• We'll even detail the engine. A detailed engine works better and makes it easier for mechanics to identify problems. The process involves spraying a mist that removes dirt, wiping it down, and applying protective compounds to silicone, rubber, and plastic parts that could crack.
  
• Regularly detailing your automobile preserves it because detailers remove abrasive debris from the exterior, such as bird droppings, artillery fungus, dirt, rust, iron, and grime.
  
• Applying ceramic coating is another way that we protect exteriors from UV rays and contaminants. In fact, you can report your ceramic coating to CarFax to prove how much care you put into your car.
  
• People typically overlook their undercarriage, but taking care of it is vital for the lifespan of your vehicle. You must remove corrosive debris from snow, mud, and salted roads that lead to rusting. Corrosion and rust compromises the vehicle's structural integrity and safety.
  

The Car Wash Just Won't Cut It.
Running your automobile through the car wash isn't going to raise its value. On the other hand, detailing experts know the best practices to remove scratches, marks, and blemishes. So, if you simply use the car wash before you sell your car, it won't stand out at all.

Besides, car washes typically scratch your vehicle over time and lower its value by thousands of dollars!

That “Brand New Look” Is As Important As A Quality Engine
When you detail your vehicle regularly, it appears to be brand new. Aside from aesthetics, demonstrating regular maintenance and care for your car speaks volumes to consumers.

According to Andy's Autowash, detailing can increase the market value of your car by up to 15%. Furthermore, Fort Worth Auto Detail states that you can pocket about $1400 after selling a detailed car.
