Customers are happy to purchase used inventory because our very simple, yet very essential process that our experienced and knowledgeable sales and service staff do just after the vehicle arrives on our lot:
- The Vehicle Goes Through Service
2. The Vehicle Gets Detailed Professionally
3. Our Sales Team Fills It With Gas
4. A 90-Day/3,000-Mile Used Vehicle Warranty on Almost All Vehicles
When you shop for a used vehicle, it can be easy to focus on the year, mileage, price, features, and overall appearance. But one of the most important questions you can ask is: What does Torrington Ford actually do to the vehicle before putting it up for sale?
At our dealership, we believe buying a quality pre-owned vehicle should be about more than finding a great-looking car, truck, or SUV. That’s why our used vehicles go through a process designed to get them ready for their next owner.
From servicing the vehicle to having it professionally detailed and filling the tank with gas, we take several steps to prepare our pre-owned inventory before you take it home.
The Vehicle Arrives at Torrington Ford 🚙
When a used vehicle arrives at Torrington Ford, our process begins before it ever reaches the sales lot.
Whether it’s a Ford F-150, Explorer, Escape, Bronco, Mustang to a Toyota, Honda, Chevrolet, Jeep, RAM, or another popular make, we look at each vehicle individually. Used inventory can come from a variety of sources, and vehicles can have different ages, mileage, equipment, and service histories.
The vehicle’s year, mileage, condition, history, and overall needs help determine what should be addressed before it’s offered for sale.
Step 1: The Vehicle Goes Through Service 🔧
One of the most important parts of preparing a used vehicle is making sure it receives the appropriate service.
At Torrington Ford, our service team evaluates the vehicle and addresses maintenance or service needs based on its condition, age, mileage, and history.
This is an important distinction between simply buying a used vehicle and buying a used vehicle that has been prepared by a dealership with an established service department.
Our goal is to make sure the vehicle is ready for the road and ready for its next owner.
Depending on the vehicle, that can include addressing routine maintenance items or other service needs identified during the preparation process.
Why Does Used Vehicle Service Matter? 🛻
A vehicle can look great on the outside while still needing maintenance underneath.
Regular service helps keep important components of a vehicle operating properly and can give shoppers greater confidence when they’re considering a pre-owned vehicle.
For drivers in Torrington, Litchfield County, and throughout Northwest Connecticut, that can be especially important. Your vehicle may be commuting along Route 8, traveling through the Litchfield Hills, heading toward Hartford, or making weekend trips throughout New England.
We want our customers to have confidence in the vehicle they’re purchasing.
Step 2: The Vehicle Gets Detailed 🧼
Once the vehicle has gone through the appropriate service process, it’s time to make it look and feel ready for its next owner.
Our used vehicles are fully detailed before delivery.
That means the vehicle gets the attention it needs to clean up the interior and exterior and present it the way you’d expect when purchasing a vehicle from Torrington Ford.
A clean vehicle makes a difference.
After all, purchasing a pre-owned vehicle should still feel exciting. Whether you’re buying your first car, upgrading to an SUV, looking for a dependable commuter, or shopping for a used truck for work and weekend activities, you deserve to take delivery of a vehicle that looks ready to go.
Step 3: We Fill It With Gas ⛽
There’s one more step we don’t want to overlook.
We fill the vehicle with gas before delivery.
It’s a simple gesture, but it’s part of how we want the vehicle to be prepared when you leave Torrington Ford.
You shouldn’t have to pull out of the dealership and immediately start looking for the nearest gas station.
Instead, you can get in, start it up, and begin enjoying your new-to-you vehicle.
Step 4: A 90-Day/3,000-Mile Used Vehicle Warranty on Most Vehicles ✅
We also want our customers to have additional confidence after driving off the lot.
Just about every used vehicle at Torrington Ford, depending on the vehicle’s year and mileage, receives a 90-day/3,000-mile all-systems-covered used car warranty.
Because eligibility can vary based on the vehicle’s age and mileage, our team can explain the specific additional extended warranty coverage that applies to the vehicle you’re considering.
For qualifying vehicles, this coverage provides an added level of confidence that you’re not simply purchasing a vehicle and being sent on your way.
A Used Vehicle Is More Than a Price Tag 💰
When you’re comparing used cars, trucks, and SUVs, it’s natural to compare prices and mileage.
But there’s more to consider.
Two vehicles with similar prices and mileage may have very different levels of preparation behind them.
At Torrington Ford, our approach is straightforward:
Service it. Detail it. Fill it with gas. Back it with applicable warranty coverage. Then put they keys in your hands and you behind the wheel.
We believe that process gives our customers another reason to feel confident when shopping our pre-owned inventory.
