And while keeping bad odors out of the car is one way into keeping the car's value intact, experts revealed other methods which can be taken.

Experts began by suggesting not to smoke in the vehicle.

Smoke can remain in the car and settle into the seats, leaving behind a bad stench. This can make it harder to sell or trade-in.

And while servicing the car is optional, it can make a huge difference when it's time to sell.

The AA rep said: "An abused, dented and poorly serviced car will not be wanted by a buyer, and will not be worth anywhere near as much as an immaculate example.

"Keeping a car in good condition and well-maintained will always make it more valuable."

These car experts recommend trying to neutralize the smell and remove any visible pet hair.
