TRADE IN YOUR CAR, SUV, OR TRUCK AT HOBLIT CHEVROLET BUICK GMC NEAR YUBA CITY & CHICO

1. Research the Value of Your Ride

An informed shopper is a powerful one. It's always a good idea to know the true value of your vehicle before visiting the dealership. Drivers near Yuba City and Chico can easily find their ride's worth and desirability through websites like Edmunds, Kelley Blue Book, AutoTrader, and the National Automobile Dealers Association, or by utilizing our free online trade-in form.

2. Give Your Vehicle Some TLC

Be sure to have your vehicle detailed before you trade in your ride. The outside appearance of your car, truck, SUV, or van holds just as much weight as what's under the hood, meaning a quick vacuum, wash, and wax can go a long way!

3. Fix Minor Dents & Scratches

It can be easy to overlook small inconvenient repairs but take care to fix any scratches, dents, or dings before you trade in your car. Doing so will ensure the vehicle is ready for its next owner.

4. Maintain or Replace Your Tires

You won't have to worry about replacing your tires if they're in good shape, however, if you find your tires a little worn down you should consider replacing them. Investing in new tires before you trade it in will likely raise the value of your vehicle.

5. Provide Service Documentation

Hold on to your receipts every time you service your vehicle. By having a record of previous oil changes, fluid checks, brake repairs, or tire replacements and rotations, you can show that you've been keeping up with your vehicle's health over the years and can use that as a powerful bargaining tool in any negotiations.
