At Lake Ridge Automotive in Woodbridge, VA, we’re all about keeping you in the know. Today, we’d like to give you some advice on maintaining the resale value of your car, truck, or SUV.

Some people keep a vehicle for as long as it lasts - others like to switch it up every once in a while. If you fall in the latter category, it’s important that you get as much for your car as possible; it affects what you’ll be able to afford next time, and ensures your investment wasn’t a waste of money.

By and large, good maintenance and care is what determines a car’s resale value - even more so than mileage or age. If you take the time to wash and vacuum your car to keep it looking nice, and address issues as they arise, you’ll keep a car that looks as good as it did the day you bought it. In addition, keeping it mechanically sound is at least as important. Getting the oil changed on time, fixing issues before they become larger ones, and keeping up with regularly scheduled maintenance will keep your car running and driving like new. A key aspect of this is keeping up with the receipts - anyone can say a vehicle has been well maintained, but if you have the paperwork to back it up, people will pay for that peace of mind. Proof of maintenance adds more value to your vehicle than any other aspect of re-selling a car.\
