The CARS (car allowance rebate system) program, also known as “Cash for Clunkers” was a huge success. The program offered cash incentives for qualifying consumers who traded in their vehicle to purchase a more fuel efficient car.
Because of an increase in sales, the program also helped boost our economy by creating jobs at dealerships and automakers. Many dealerships reported an increase in showroom traffic to levels not seen in well over a year.
The CARS program took a lot of used cars off the market for good; the cars that were traded in were crushed and recycled; never again to return to the road. The purpose of the program was to take as many gas hogs off the road as possible, replacing them with more fuel efficient vehicles.
Now that the CARS program has come to a close, and there are fewer used cars available, they will have a slightly higher resale value. This is a good time to sell or trade in your used car. Clean used cars are highly sought after by dealers and private parties.
A well maintained vehicle will bring a better resale price than one that has been neglected. Cars are built to last longer; therefore, they often have some dents and dings when they are still in excellent mechanical shape.
Repairing the dents and dings will add resale value to your used car. A mobile auto body shop is the best choice for having cosmetic repairs, including dent repair, scratch removal, bumper and fender repair and auto painting done.
A mobile auto body shop offers the convenience of on-site scratch and dent repair so you don’t have to leave your vehicle in the shop for days at a time. The mobile auto body shop often completes cosmetic auto repairs in one day or less and their fees are 20 – 50 percent less than those charged by the traditional auto body shop.
Leave the major collision repairs up to the body shop; have a mobile auto body shop come to you and perform the small repairs. Like the CARS program, a mobile auto body shop also uses “green” technology to reduce hazardous waste and; since they do not operate out of a building, they consume less energy, leaving a smaller carbon footprint.
