Why recon efficiency makes fixed ops heros

Dan - I thought dealers need to understand the economics of poor (and good) recon; I am the company's director of marketing. Centralized recon success takes work, diligence, commitment and the right culture. Rapid Recon has numerous customers doing this well. Our director of customer performance until recently ran a central shop reconditioning 500-700 cars a month. I have a podcast and several other media that are helpful if you would like me to send. Thanks for asking, Dan

Thanks for clarifying @Jim Leman. It would be helpful to the community if you were to share those resources directly into this post. I'm definitely not opposed to a vendor dropping in a "why not us" post but please include some of that helpful information; processes, KPIs, best practices, etc.

Jim Leman from Rapid Recon posted a video about recon economics and responded to dealer Dan Sayer's questions about centralizing reconditioning operations across multiple locations, sharing that success requires strong execution, culture, and commitment rather than the centralization strategy alone. After being asked by the community to provide substantive resources beyond vendor promotion, Leman shared additional educational materials on recon economics to help dealers understand how reconditioning efficiency impacts fixed operations profitability.
