Detailing has proven to be effective in getting you a better resale/trade-in price. So, if you are planning on selling/trading your car, make sure to have it detailed within a week of selling/trading it. It is usually when selling a vehicle that most people consider auto detailing. But, by that time (an average of 5 years) the vehicle has too much wear and tear to restore its condition. That’s why we urge our customers to think of auto detailing as a maintenance program just like changing the fluids, getting a tune-up or rotating the tires. Most people don’t realize that in most cases, it is less expensive to replace the engine than to replace a factory paint job. We recommend a car detailing service at least 2 to 5 times a year depending on your driving and car washing habits and how you store your vehicle.
- Is it parked inside or outside most of the time?
- Do you wash it every other day or maybe only once a month?
- How do you wash it? Do you spend so much time in your vehicle that you feel like it’s your home?
These are just some of the determining factors that we consider in recommending what maintenance schedule and detailing service is best for you.
