Treat Your Vehicle Right

Regularly servicing your vehicle is the best way you can treat your vehicle right. Not only does routine maintenance increase the lifespan of your vehicle, but it will also save you money in the long run. In addition, having those service records that show you have regularly serviced your ride will help get you more money when it comes time to trade-in your old ride.
Fix Up Your Vehicle Nice

Dings, dents, chips – any sort of cosmetic damage that your vehicle has, get it fixed and spend a little extra to have it fixed correctly by a professional. These types of things can greatly depreciate the value of your vehicle and will cause you to lose out on a few bucks when you’re ready to trade-in. Also, you want to make your vehicle look its best when you stop in to see us. Why? Well, it will 100% increase the value if your vehicle looks nice, so treat your old ride to a luxurious car wash right before stopping in to see us!
Know The Value Of Your Trade

Spend a little time and do your research before coming in to discuss options. There are many websites that can assist you in the appraisal process for your vehicle and knowing your vehicle’s value will make the negotiation process easier for everyone involved. Trade values are always at the discretion of the dealer and the value could vary depending on service and vehicle history.
