Our process, start to finish
We show our work. This is the work.
From the auction lane to a week after you drive off — here's exactly what happens to every car we sell, and every number we put in writing.
1
Sourcing
Most cars don't make our lot.
We buy at dealer auctions and from local sellers — one-owner, clean-history cars in the $10–25k range Miami actually drives. Before we bid, the history report gets pulled. After we buy, the car still has to pass inspection or it goes back to auction, at our loss, not yours.
REJECTED AT THE GATE — NO EXCEPTIONS
POLICY
✕Flood or water damage — title-flagged or found physically. We're in a hurricane state; this is check #1.
✕Salvage, rebuilt, or washed titles — including out-of-state re-titles hiding a brand.
✕Frame or structural repair — cosmetic bodywork is fine; bent metal isn't.
✕Odometer discrepancies — mileage that doesn't match the service records.

The Revamp Vetted™ inspection
132 points, checked by hand.
Done by our tech on a lift over ~3 hours. The same sheet — every point, pass or fixed — goes on file, and we'll walk you through it on any car.

Reconditioning
"Revamped" is a checklist, not a slogan.
Whatever the inspection flags gets fixed with new parts — then the fix list goes on file with the car. Every car also gets the same baseline service before it's photographed.
EVERY CAR, BEFORE IT'S LISTED
✓Fresh oil, oil filter & engine air filter
✓New wiper blades & cabin filter
✓Brakes at 50%+ life or replaced
✓Tires at 5/32"+ or replaced, then aligned
✓Open recalls completed at the franchise dealer
✓Full detail — interior, engine bay, undercarriage

Pricing
Priced to market. Quoted out-the-door.
We price against actual local sales — usually 94–97% of market — and show you the range. If a car sits 21 days, the price drops — we don't hide that. The out-the-door worksheet (tax, tag, title, and our flat $499 dealer fee) comes with every car, so the desk visit is a signature, not a negotiation.
DEALER FEE COMPARISON — MIAMI
Revamp Motors$499 flat
Typical independent lot$999–1,499
Typical franchise store$899–1,299 + add-ons
No nitrogen tires, no VIN etching, no "protection packages" pre-loaded on the contract.

Warranty
Every car leaves covered.
If we vetted it, we stand behind it. The 30-day warranty is free and automatic — it's on the buyer's order, not a handshake. Want longer? Extended plans are priced on a printed sheet, never pushed at the desk.
INCLUDED FREE — EVERY CAR
30-day / 1,000-mi limited powertrain warranty
Engine, transmission & drive axle. In writing on the buyer's order. Something's off? Call us first — we fix it or make it right.
OPTIONAL — PRICED UP FRONT
Extended coverage up to 3 yr / 36k mi
Third-party administered, usable at any licensed shop. The price sheet is printed and public — the same number for every customer.

Financing
Two ways to finance. One honest worksheet.
Whichever route you take, the worksheet shows the price, your real APR, the term, and the payment — nothing packed in. Bring your own bank's approval if you like; we'll work with it.
ROUTE A — BANK & CREDIT-UNION PARTNERS
Good-to-strong credit. We shop your application to local lenders and show you the best 2–3 approvals side by side — rate, term, payment.
ROUTE B — IN-HOUSE FINANCING
Thin file, rebuilding, or the banks said no. We finance directly: proof of income + residence, a reasonable down payment, and on-time payments reported so your credit rebuilds.
Soft credit pull to pre-qualify — no score impact until you pick a car.

Step 7 — after the sale
We call you. Not the other way around.
Title and tag handled in-house. A week after delivery you get a check-in call — anything rattling, anything unclear, we handle it. That's how a two-year-old dealership gets to 4.9 stars.
