Auto Dealers Require Detailing Too

Auto dealers require detailing services for their inventory just like the general population does for their personal vehicles. Most of us like to keep our cars and trucks looking nice for personal reasons. Pride of ownership and ego are a couple of those personal reasons. Auto dealerships need their car and truck inventory looking nice and clean for a different reason. They want to sell those vehicles as quickly as possible. Auto dealers have learned over the years that clean and shiny vehicles sell faster than dusty and dirty ones. It is practically a “no brainer” to understand that people do not want to spend thousands of dollars buying a dirty car or truck. Therefore, auto dealers spend thousands of dollars every month to maintain a clean and fresh-looking inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles.


Specialty Detailing Services

Some auto dealers require detailing and have full time employees that are responsible for keeping their vehicles clean and fresh looking. Many dealerships employ outside companies like Uniseal to take charge of on-premises vehicle inventory cleanliness. It is very cost effective for dealerships to employ outside companies for vehicle inventory detailing. It allows the dealerships to concentrate on auto and truck sales and service. It’s why they are in the auto business in the first place. It allows them to become better at their very competitive business. And better translates into higher profits and increased sales of both new and pre-owned vehicles for the auto dealership.


Outside companies that detail vehicles for dealerships can also take care of new and pre-owned deliveries. This specialized service can also include vehicle delivery immediately following the sales process. Everyone buying a new car expects to be presented with a car that is shiny and clean. They also expect a full tank of gas. The auto buying process can be stressful therefore the shiny and clean vehicle is critically important for the buyer. Auto dealers require detailing. It is a necessary part of the process. There is more to an auto dealer than just selling cars and trucks. Uniseal continues to be the Industry Leader in the Dealer “Make-Ready Services” for almost 40 years. When choosing a company for vehicle inventory detailing, experience matters.

Auto Detailing Helps Vehicles Look Like New

Who doesn’t want their auto to look like new regardless of how old or how many miles it has? That’s where auto detailing can help. Everyone who possesses personal pride extends that pride to the things that they own. The vehicles that they own, or drive would be a perfect example showcasing their personal pride. Dents, scratches, and rust are noticeable, therefore cannot be allowed to stay on the vehicles of prideful people. These vehicles in question are maintained mechanically and physically. Car washes and auto detailing are part of a regular maintenance plan that keeps autos looking in tip top condition.

Auto Detailing vs Car Wash

A typical car wash and a typical auto detailing are clearly different. Even a fancy car wash service falls short of an average auto detailing service. What is the main difference between the two? The cost, time to complete, and the attention to detail are the three big differences. The cost of a nice local car wash will be somewhere between $15.00 and $40.00. The cost of a nice local detailing service can be somewhere between $250.00 and $$850.00 depending on how many extras you decide to purchase. Extras such as upholstery or carpet repair and paint or dent repair, or steam cleaning your engine compartment can significantly add to the cost of your auto detailing.

Auto detailing has become a significant service for millions of American auto owners. You can add trucks, boats, motorcycles, and RV owners as well. Auto dealers have understood the importance of auto detailing for decades. Most have in house employees or third-party contractors like Uniseal to maintain their fleet of vehicles for sale. The cleaner or newer a vehicle looks the faster it will sell. And more money can be charged for a new looking vehicle. People will pay more without much fuss for a newer looking vehicle as well. Folks like new or new looking things. It is an undeniable fact. Detailing for all types of vehicles has become a multi-billion-dollar industry within the United States.

Make Ready for Auto Dealers

Make ready for auto dealers is a unique function that prepares new and pre-owned vehicles to be displayed in the showroom and other display lots. The preparation for this display and sale of vehicles will include but not be limited to immaculate cleaning or detailing. Total attention to detail is required so each vehicle may be presented in its best possible condition.

New vehicles are in possession of a new car smell which most people find desirable. Pre-owned vehicles can have a refreshing smell added so they can also have a desirable smell during the initial viewing and test drive experience. The sense of smell can cause one to have a positive or negative experience based upon that fragrance. Auto dealers want you to have a positive auto buying experience.

Pre-owned vehicles must have careful attention applied to each and every vehicle. Make ready for auto dealers is not an accident. It is a vital function for successful auto dealerships. The vehicles are constantly washed and kept as clean as possible. They know that potential buyers of their merchandise expect the vehicles to be clean. No one wants to get into, and test drive an unkept car or truck. Even work trucks and commercial vehicles are kept as clean as possible, because their customers expect that service.

These pre-owned vehicles generally come to the dealership with stains on the carpeting or seats. Stains can also show up on the dash and ceiling upholstery. That is one reason why there is a make ready function for auto dealers. Most folks are not going to purchase a dirty or smelly vehicle, so cleanliness is important. If you have ever been to a car show you would have noticed that the vehicles are always extremely clean. New or pre-owned they are always as clean as possible.
