Repairing: Every Detail Matters

- Examine the car’s exterior for any scratches or bumps
- Examine the general state of the headlights and taillights
- Check the tires for any signs of damage
- Take into account the quality and quantity of engine, brake, and gear oils
- Check the radiator water
- Evaluate the battery status in hybrid and EVs
Give Your Car a Deep Clean
If the car isn’t clean, the buyer will be concerned and may cancel the purchase or demand a lower price.
We list below car parts for you to focus on during the pre-sale cleaning:
- Floor mats: Remove the floor mats and vacuum before washing them with soap and water
