Stop by one of our used car dealerships in Halifax, Truro, or Lower Sackville, and you’ll find row upon row of gleaming, road-ready vehicles just waiting to be driven away. Many of them are literally as good as new. But how does a used car dealership like ours take pre-owned vehicles and prepare them for the next owner?
We understand that when you’re buying a used car, peace of mind is a top priority. That’s why we’re dedicated to ensuring the Race Auto Group used cars Halifax residents trust are always road-ready and reliable. Here’s a behind-the-scenes look at how we select and prepare vehicles to meet the highest standards:
Selecting Quality Used Cars in Halifax
The long journey a used car takes to end up in your garage starts with sourcing. We spend time evaluating each and every car, truck, and SUV we buy before they go anywhere near our dealership.
So, what are we actually looking out for? We prioritize used cars in Halifax with clean accident records, minimal wear, and the potential for excellent long-term performance. This careful selection process ensures our customers get vehicles that meet their needs – whatever those needs may be!
Rigorous Vehicle Inspections
Once a vehicle arrives at one of our locations, it undergoes a thorough inspection. Our certified technicians examine every detail to identify potential issues and ensure the vehicle is in top shape. Key areas of focus include:
- Engine and Transmission: Testing for smooth operation and identifying any mechanical concerns.
- Brake Systems: Ensuring reliability and safety.
- Suspension and Tires: Confirming roadworthiness and ride comfort.
- Interior Electronics: Verifying that all controls, lights, and features work properly.
Reconditioning for Road Readiness
Of course, our inspections sometimes find small faults. Even if they don’t, we still comprehensively recondition every vehicle to ensure it’s 100% road-ready. That involves:
- Mechanical Repairs: Any necessary engine or transmission repairs are completed using high-quality parts.
- Tire and Brake Replacement: Worn-out components are replaced with new or like-new alternatives.
- Exterior Repairs: Dents, scratches, and paint imperfections are addressed to restore the vehicle’s appearance.
- Interior Detailing: From steam-cleaning carpets to deodorizing, we ensure every car feels fresh and comfortable.
You won’t believe what our reconditioning process can do. By the time we’re done, our used cars in Halifax are not only in top shape but have never looked better!
Safety Certification and Final Road Test
Before a vehicle is offered for sale, it must pass a provincial safety certification. This ensures compliance with all safety regulations and confirms the vehicle is ready for Nova Scotia’s roads. Our technicians also carry out one final further safety test.
