Automotive Dealership’s auto reconditioning practices are vital to the bottom line when it comes to automotive sales.  If a dealership doesn’t have the proper processes in place, they will lose… and lose big time!  However, when done efficiently and properly, the dealerships margin can increase instantly.

When shopping for a used car, everyone wants to find one for a good price that’s in great shape. One challenge is how difficult it is to compare different used cars, because each one is unique and different depending on how their previous owners drove them and cared for them.  The single most important thing for any dealership’s used cars is the care and attention that goes into reconditioning them.

Many managers don’t realize how much reconditioning affects the operations of a car dealership, whether it’s an independent used car dealership or a new-car dealership with a used car division. What’s interesting from an industry point of view is how much the overall spend on reconditioning has gone up in recent years.  When the new car market is in a slump, the preowned market can mean the difference between a healthy bonus or looking for another place of employment.

Inevitably new vehicle sales and profits will slump sometime this year!  Every dealership knows it, and no matter how much we prepare for it; we aren’t too happy when the downturn comes.  Franchised dealerships are placing greater emphasis on selling used cars and trucks.  This also means a renewed focus among service departments on cutting the time and cost of reconditioning used vehicles for sale, from cosmetic detailing to major repairs.

Reconditioning is absolutely essential process in helping a dealership remain profitable.  Also, reconditioning cars properly adds to retention, and to people coming back to us and buying the next car.  The best-performing dealers these days consistently get the job done in 24 hours or less. Meanwhile, other dealers report their reconditioning turnaround times run seven days or more.  The disparity  between high performing dealers and underperforming dealers owes to two chief factors; one, the degree to which the dealer recognizes that time spent in reconditioning translates to lost frontend profit potential, and the extent to which a dealer implements and monitors processes that reflect the “time is money” reality of retailing used vehicles.
