SALE PREPARATION
Present the vehicle at its best.
Preparing a car for sale is about more than making it clean. We evaluate the vehicle, identify the cosmetic work that will make the biggest difference, and handle the preparation from detailing and paint touch-up to dry ice cleaning and underbody presentation.

START WITH AN ASSESSMENT
Not every car needs everything.
The first step is evaluating the car as a prospective buyer will see it. We'll identify the cosmetic issues that are worth addressing, distinguish them from things that aren't worth spending money on, and build a preparation plan around the vehicle and your goals.
01 - INSPECT
We evaluate the paint, wheels, trim, glass, interior, engine compartment and underside.
02 - PRIORITIZE
We identify the improvements most likely to make the care present better without wasting money on unnecessary work.
03 - PREPARE
We execute the agreed work and return the car ready to be presented.
COSMETIC PREPARATION
From basic detailing to the details buyers notice.
Every car is different. Depending on its condition, preparation may include a thorough interior and exterior detail, paint decontamination, polishing, paint touch-up, wheel and trim restoration, glass cleaning, or other targeted cosmetic work.
DETAILING
Interior and exterior cleaning to establish the baseline.
PAINT
Decontamination, polishing and appropriate paint touch-up.
WHEELS & TRIM
Cleaning and restoration of the details that can make an otherwise good car look tired.
ENGINE COMPARTMENT
Careful cleaning and presentation where appropriate.
DRY ICE BLASTING
When the underside tells the story.
For collector and enthusiast vehicles, the underside can be an important part of the sale. Our dry ice blasting system allows us to remove years of accumulated dirt, grease, road grime and other contamination from appropriate components without introducing water into the cleaning process.
For auction preparation, we'll determine whether dry ice cleaning is justified based on the vehicle, its condition and how it is being presented.
Don't clean it just because you can. Clean it because it adds value to the presentation.
PRESENTATION
Make the work visible.
A properly prepared car still needs to photograph well. Once the cosmetic work is complete, we can help present the vehicle with clean, consistent photographs that show the details buyers actually care about.
