Behind the Scenes at Dream Work: How We Prep a Car for Sale
At Dream Work Automotive, we don’t just sell cars—we elevate them.
Every vehicle that hits our lot goes through a step-by-step process to ensure it looks great, drives even better, and earns your trust from the moment you see it.
Let’s take you behind the scenes of what we do before you ever take a test drive.
1. Mechanical Inspection & Reconditioning
First, our service team gets under the hood. Every vehicle undergoes:
- Multi-point mechanical inspection
- Fluid top-offs and oil change
- Tire check
- Brake check + replacement if needed
- Battery, wipers, and light check
If it doesn’t drive like new—it’s not ready for you.
2. Full Detail & Deep Clean
Next, our detail team begins with a complete interior and exterior detail:
- Vacuum and shampoo carpets
- Steam clean seats and headliner
- Wash, clay bar, and wax exterior
- Clean engine bay
- Polish wheels and shine tires
We don’t just clean for looks—we clean for feel. You’ll notice the difference the moment you open the door.
3. Paperwork, VIN Check & History Reporting
Before you ever test drive a car, we’ve already:
- Run a vehicle history report (Carfax)
- Verified title status
- Made sure the VIN matches all documentation
- Prepped all legal docs for financing or purchase
We keep it transparent, so you know exactly what you’re buying.
4. Photo, Video, and Marketing Ready
Once a vehicle is cleaned, inspected, and verified—it’s photo-ready. Our in-house marketing team:
- Shoots high-quality photos and 360° videos
- Writes a detailed, honest description
- Uploads everything to our website and social media
- Highlights features like sunroofs, Apple CarPlay, leather, and AWD
Your first impression matters—and we make sure it’s a great one.
5. Daily Lot Checks & Sale Prep
Even after a car is live, our team:
- Walks the lot daily to inspect cleanliness
- Replaces worn stickers or info sheets
- Repositions cars for better visibility
- Ensures every car is jump-start ready
If you come today or next week, your vehicle will be showroom sharp.
Why This Matters
Anyone can sell a car.
But not everyone preps them like we do.
We believe in quality, transparency, and pride in every vehicle we sell. Whether it’s a budget-friendly sedan or a luxury SUV—you’re getting a car that’s been cared for from the inside out.
