Pre-Sale Vehicle Preparation & Condition Certificate

---

Professional cosmetic preparation and condition reporting for private vehicle sales, including car paint repairs. All work is completed at your home or workplace through our mobile auto repair service. When selling a vehicle privately, presentation and trust are everything. Buyers notice small defects immediately, and even minor cosmetic issues can reduce confidence, slow the sale, and weaken your negotiating position. Our Pre-Sale Vehicle Preparation service, which includes vehicle appearance restoration, is designed to present your car at its best and provide a clear, professional condition summary that supports your asking price.

Most private sellers:  

Undervalue the impact of cosmetic condition, including the importance of car paint repairs.  

Miss small issues buyers care about, which can affect vehicle appearance restoration.  

Face heavy price negotiation due to overlooked details.  

Experience longer selling times when not addressing these factors.  

Professional preparation helps you:  

Increase perceived value through mobile auto paint repair services.  

Build buyer confidence by showcasing a well-maintained vehicle.  

Strengthen your asking price with a polished appearance.  

Achieve a faster, smoother sale by investing in cosmetic enhancements.

Inspection & Certification

Includes:

• Full visual inspection
   
• Cosmetic condition grading
   
• Written condition certificate

 Certificate issued only if the vehicle meets cosmetic presentation standard at the time of inspection. 

 If the vehicle does not meet certification standard, the inspection is still completed and a written assessment is provided. No certificate is issued until standards are met. 

 Bronze is for vehicles that are already in reasonable cosmetic condition. If the car needs preparation work, it won’t qualify for certification on the day.

Professionally prepared vehicles: 

- Sell faster 

- Command stronger asking prices 

- Create buyer confidence 

- Reduce negotiation pressure 

Small improvements in presentation, such as car paint repairs and vehicle appearance restoration, often have a significant impact on final sale value. Additionally, mobile auto repair services can enhance the overall look of your vehicle, further boosting its market appeal.

The condition of the car's paintwork is essential, including any bumper scuffs and scratches that may require car paint repairs. We also assess the alloy wheel condition and check for any interior wear and trim damage. Headlight clarity is another important aspect of vehicle appearance restoration. Overall, we provide a comprehensive evaluation of the vehicle's presentation. All vehicles receive a written condition summary.
