What is Vehicle Reconditioning? The World Famous Difference

Posted 7 months ago

No one ever says, “Come over and see my used car! I just got it!” Nope. Never. If you just got it, it’s new to YOU and that’s all that matters. You say, “Come over and see my NEW car!”

Every car purchase is a big deal. No doubt about it. We’ll let you in on a best-kept secret you ask at any used car dealership before your next pre-owned vehicle purchase: IS IT RECONDITIONED?

The World Famous Auto Experience

At World Famous Auto, we want our pre-owned cars and trucks to be as close as possible to like-new condition. Our Reconditioning and Detail Team is responsible for a 100-point checklist of every system and surface on our vehicles to make sure each item gets the expert attention required.

We begin by stocking cars and trucks that are in good condition to start with. Then we spend thousands of dollars and at least a week in the shop to bring them up to our standards. It’s a lot of work, and sounds like a lot of money, but in the long run, you will be happier and more carefree — and actually save money — since your new, pre-owned car will not only look and smell new inside and out, it will have been mechanically repaired as well.


Reconditioned vs. Detailed: Here’s the Difference

Sure, car lots detail their inventory, but World Famous Autos believes full reconditioning, in addition to detailing, is what our customers deserve. Detailing makes things look pretty, but reconditioning means our vehicles are reliable and safe as well.

A detail job is the beauty shop:

  • Exterior wash
  • Wheel and tire cleaning
  • Interior cleaning
  • Upholstery and carpet shampooing
  • Odor removal

This process gives our technicians their first look at every surface so we can find such things as nicks, dents, or missing trim before we move on to the reconditioning steps.

A vehicle reconditioning goes in deep:

  • Exterior: dings, dents, scratches, paint, lights
  • Mechanical systems: suspension, belts, cylinders, brakes, lights, exhaust
  • Interior systems: electrical, technology, heating and air

World Famous Auto is the Right Choice for You!

We are family-owned and operated since 1984. We make our own financing decisions. We choose our inventory by hand. No corporate bosses or employee handbooks or dress codes.
