2

We Come to Your Driveway

Mitch brings everything needed and comes to you, whether you are in Bethlehem, Greerton, Pyes Pa, or anywhere across Tauranga. No need to drive anywhere or take time out of your day.

3

Exterior Wash and Decontamination

The car gets a thorough hand wash, then a clay bar treatment to strip bonded grime and fallout that a normal wash will not touch. This is what separates a proper pre-sale detail from a basic wash.

4

Machine Polish to Restore the Paint

A one-stage machine polish reduces light swirl marks and wakes up the gloss in your paint. Your car photographs better and looks fresher to buyers.

5

Full Interior Tidy and Clean

Every surface inside the car is vacuumed, wiped down, and dressed so the interior feels looked-after. Buyers notice the inside just as much as the outside.

6

Final Check and Handover

Mitch does a final walk-around to make sure nothing has been missed. Your car is ready for photos, TradeMe listings, and viewings.

Is This Right For You?

This service is built for Tauranga locals who are about to list their ute, SUV, or sedan for sale and want it looking its best without spending a lot of time on it themselves. If your car has been sitting in the driveway gathering dust or has a few months of everyday grime built up, this is exactly what it needs before buyers start showing up.

Common Questions About Pre Sale Detail

How long does a pre-sale detail take in Tauranga?

Most pre-sale details take between three and five hours depending on the size of the vehicle and its condition. A larger ute or SUV in rough shape will take longer than a sedan that has been reasonably well maintained. Mitch will give you a realistic time estimate when you get your quote.

Will a pre-sale detail actually help me get more money for my car?

A clean, well-presented car photographs better and makes a stronger first impression at viewings. Buyers are more confident in a car that looks like it has been cared for, and that confidence tends to show up in the offers they make. It is one of the more practical things you can do before listing.

Do I need to be home while the detail is done?

You do not need to be home the whole time. As long as Mitch has access to the vehicle and somewhere to work, you can get on with your day. Most customers in suburbs like Otumoetai and Matua just leave the car in the driveway and check in at the end.

What is the difference between a pre-sale detail and a basic car wash?

A basic wash removes surface dirt. A pre-sale detail goes further with clay bar decontamination, machine polishing to reduce swirl marks, a full interior clean, and tyre and trim dressing. The result is a car that looks noticeably sharper in photos and in person.

Can you detail my car the day before I photograph it for TradeMe?

Yes, and that is actually the best time to do it. Booking the detail the day before your photos means the car is at its best and you are not rushing. Get your quote in early so Mitch can lock in a time that works for your listing timeline.
