If you own or operate a fleet or commercial truck, you understand the importance of resale value. Some owners or operators keep the same vehicles until it’s time for the scrap yard, but by and large it makes more sense to sell a vehicle and replace it at a certain point. From T&A Truck Specialist, Inc in Tampa, FL, here’s how to make sure you get the most cash possible when it’s time for your vehicles to hit the auction block.
First and foremost, keep your fleet and commercial vehicles clean. Inside and out, the way your vehicles look say a lot to a potential buyer about how well it’s been taken care of. Take the extra time each week to wash your vehicles, keeping the paint looking good, buildup from occurring, and the interior looking fresh.
More importantly, keep your vehicles mechanically sound. Oil changes, addressing issues as they arise, and keeping up with regularly scheduled maintenance is one of the most important factors in resale value, more so than mileage, age, make, or model. Furthermore, keep a paper trail of anything you have done. Anybody can say they took care of a vehicle, but providing proof instills confidence in potential buyers that you care about the condition of your vehicles, and prove that they’ve been maintained as well as you say.
No matter your repair or maintenance needs, our technicians have you covered. For the best fleet and commercial service shop in Tampa, FL, call or stop by T&A Truck Specialist, Inc today.
