Used Cars Often Leak

Few things kill first impressions faster than fresh oil spots where a shopper just parked. Containing drips during reconditioning and on the test■drive line protects your lot, saves cleanup time, and spares awkward conversations.

Why Lot Cleanliness Sells Cars

• Trust at first glance: Shoppers equate clean surfaces with well-maintained vehicles.
• Faster turn: Less time moving mats and mopping. More time closing.
• Fewer complaints: No angry calls about a stained driveway after a test drive.

Containment as a Reconditioning Standard

Install the Oil Jock Kit after initial inspection and basic repairs. Its hydrophobic pad captures oil and repels water, so rain doesn’t saturate the pad—but drips do. Each pad holds nearly a quart, and swapping pads at key recon milestones takes seconds.  Create trust with customers and future business for oil changes and Oil Jock pad changes.

Suggested Reconditioning Workflow

1. Intake & Multi-Point Check: Identify potential leaks.
2. Quick Repairs: Address high-priority items (safety/emissions).
3. Install Oil Jock: Protect the lot and test-drive lanes immediately.
4. Pad Checks: During photo staging and pre-delivery inspection.
5. Final Prep: Swap pad if needed before hand-off.

Cost Control and Reputation

• Cleanup cut: Fewer minutes spent degreasing concrete adds up across the month.
• Review insurance: Buyers appreciate a clean driveway after test drives; it’s the small detail that defuses complaints.
• Lot image: Oil-free display areas make everything look premium—even budget units.
  Staff Talking Points
• “This vehicle has on-vehicle leak containment installed to keep our lot clean while we finalize
  reconditioning.”
• “Pads are hydrophobic—water beads off, oil gets captured.”
• “We check and replace the pad as needed during prep.”
  

The Bottom Line

Cleaner lots move metal. Standardize on-vehicle containment and keep the sales lane spotless—without slowing your team.
