Are you looking to sell your car? Whether it be time for an upgrade or to save space, selling a car requires commitment and effort. You want to get the most value out of your sale; therefore, you must put in the time to sell your car correctly.
To get the best price for your vehicle, you should do a few things before selling it. As car repair experts, we know exactly what you should work on before putting your vehicle on the market.
Here’s our guide on what you need to do before reselling your car.
Put it in for one last service and fix any repairs
One of the biggest things you should do is put it in for a big service. This will ensure your car performs at its best when you take potential buyers out for a test drive. It will also give you proof that your car is up to scratch, which is something many keen buyers may ask to see.
Putting your car in for a final service will also be a good time to detect and fix any repairs. By repairing your vehicle, you will correct any issues that users may identify or use to decrease the price. This will also allow the car to hold its value. Extra points if you renew the registration and get a roadworthy certificate.

Get the car detailed and polished
Before you take any photos of your car, you will want to make sure your car is picture-perfect. This means addressing any of the blemishes on the outside. Book for a pre-sale touch-up and detail to get your car looking better than ever.
A touch-up will address any stray scratches and scuff marks your car may have. This is perfect for correcting any wear and tear you may have racked up over time. Once touched up, we recommend finishing it with a wash and polish to give your coat an appealing shine.
If you’re looking to book your car for a touch-up, Bodytech Automotive can help.
Clean the interior
In addition to cleaning the outside, you must also clean inside the vehicle. This means emptying and removing any personal items and rubbish accumulated. You must check nooks that aren’t visible, including the glove box, under the seats and in the boot.
A detail of the inside of your car is also advised. This way, it gets a professional quality vacuum, the upholstery is cleansed and other surfaces are dusted and cleaned. This will increase your car’s resale value and make it look as good as new.
Once the inside and outside have been cleaned, it is time to take photos.
Check the value
Finally, once your car is ready to hit the market, there is one last thing to do. Get the price right! Depending on the market, we recommend looking at other ads for the same car to get an idea of the going price.
There are also other websites where you can get a valuation online. This will give you a good indication of what you can get for your car. If you have any after-market modifications, this will also add value to your vehicle.
