Car Sale Preparation Cheshire
Lets' Talk About It
Selling your car privately can be time-consuming and frustrating, cleaning, photographing, writing listings, and negotiating with buyers.
And if you go down the part-exchange/trade in route, you’re likely to get far less than your vehicle is worth.
At Phillips Detailing, we offer a Car Sale Preparation Package designed to take all the hassle off your hands – designed to help you get the best possible price for your vehicle.
What’s Included FOR £199
For a fixed service fee of £199, we’ll prepare your car inside and out, ready for sale:
Full Professional Valet & Interior Clean
We deep clean the vehicle to a high standard, including shampooing fabrics, cleaning leather, and restoring interior trims.
Exterior Wash & Gloss Enhancement
Your car receives a thorough exterior clean followed by a wax polish to restore depth, gloss, and protection.
Localised Paint Correction
Light scratches are carefully polished and stone chips are treated with touch up paint to improve appearance without the cost of a full respray.
Professional Photography & Ad Creation
We capture high quality photos that help your vehicle stand out and write a compelling listing ready for platforms like AutoTrader, Facebook Marketplace, or Carwow.
Optional Ad Management
We can assist with handling enquiries or guide you through the process to streamline your sale. This service is available as an optional extra.
