Get every vehicle front-line ready, faster.
DealerRecon puts your whole reconditioning process on one live board — intake to front-line — so nothing sits, everyone knows the next step, and units hit the lot days sooner. Built by dealers, for dealers.
Centralized · Customizable to your store · AI-powered · Built for dealers
Everything that happens to a car — in one place.
From the moment a unit lands to the second it's front-line ready, every hand that touches it and every step it waits on is visible. No clipboards, no group texts, no "where's that car?"
1Intake & transport
The unit lands — trade, auction buy, or dealer-to-dealer. Scan the VIN from anywhere on the car and it's on the board, with transport tracked door to door.
2Inspection
A guided multi-point walkaround on a phone or tablet. Damage, tires, glass, and needed work captured with photos — no clipboards, no re-keying.
3Mechanical & service
Work orders fire to your shop and sublet vendors the moment inspection flags them. Every approval, part, and ETA tracked against the clock.
4Body & reconditioning
Paint, PDR, wheels, glass — internal or vendor — all visible on one board so nothing sits waiting on a step nobody owns.
5Detail
Final detail scheduled and signed off, with before/after photos attached to the VIN so the work is documented and disputes disappear.
6Photos & merchandising
Photo shoot, AI condition report, window sticker, and front-line photos generated and pushed straight to your website and feeds.
7Front-line ready
Marked ready, the unit hits the line — and your VDP — days sooner. Leadership sees exactly who touched it and how long each step took.
One place for everyone who touches a car.
Stop chasing status across texts, whiteboards, and three different systems. DealerRecon gives every person on the team the exact view they need — and gives leadership the whole picture in real time.
Technicians & detail
Their queue, photos, and the next step — on a phone, with one-tap sign-off.
Recon manager
The whole board, every aging unit, and where each car is stuck right now.
Fixed ops & parts
Work orders, sublet ETAs, and parts holds tied to each unit's clock.
GM & leadership
Time-to-line, holding cost, and throughput — store-wide, in real time.
Sales & merchandising
What's front-line ready today, with stickers, photos, and reports attached.
Customized to the way you already work.
No two stores run recon the same way — so DealerRecon bends to yours instead of forcing a template on you.
Your steps & buckets
Match the board to how your store actually runs recon — name the steps, set the order, branch by source.
Your rooftops & vendors
One store or twenty. Your sublet vendors, your home base, your dealer-to-dealer moves — all configured to you.
Your SLAs & alerts
Set the day targets per step. Get pinged the moment a unit ages past where it should be.
Everything the big recon tools do — plus what only we can.
DealerRecon matches the capabilities dealers expect from the category leaders, then adds AI that runs on our own private model and data — so you get more, without sending your VINs to someone else's cloud.
Live recon board
Every vehicle, every step, color-coded by status and aging. Drag a unit forward, see the bottleneck before it costs you a week.
Mobile VIN check-in
Scan the VIN from anywhere on the car with a phone — snap it or pull a saved photo — and the unit jumps to the right status instantly.
AI condition report
Photos in, a structured condition writeup out — graded panels, damage, and a shopper-ready report. Runs on our private model, on our hardware.
Open-recall check
Every VIN checked against the NHTSA recall database automatically, so a unit never hits the line with an open safety recall.
Holding-cost & ROI
Live dollar cost of every idle day — depreciation plus floorplan — totaled per unit and per store, so recon time becomes a number you can manage.
Profit-priority sequencing
The board sorts what to work first by aging, gross, and demand — not first-in-first-out — so the units that make money move first.
Vendor & sublet portal
Outside vendors get a tight portal to receive work, post ETAs, upload proof photos, and bill — no phone tag, every dollar tracked.
Window stickers
OEM-style Monroney and build sheets generated by VIN and pushed to the VDP — addendums and certified packages included.
BOL email intake
Forward a trucking company's bill of lading to one address and the AI reads it, matches the VIN, and files it to the right unit — automatically.
Photo & damage capture
Capture and store unlimited photos per unit, tagged to each step, as a permanent record that protects you on every wholesale and retail deal.
Transport tracking
In-transit to your home base or straight to a rooftop — carrier, pickup, and delivery tracked with proof-of-pickup photos along the way.
Reports & analytics
Time-to-line, step-level bottlenecks, vendor spend, technician throughput, and aging — the numbers leadership actually asks for.
Ask your recon board out loud.
Hands full on the lot? Just talk. The DealerRecon voice assistant — available as a dedicated hands-free app — answers questions about your inventory and moves cars by voice, in plain language.
- “How many cars are in detail right now?”
- “What's been sitting the longest in mechanical?”
- “Mark stock 12345 front-line ready.”
- “What's my average time-to-line this month?”
- “Which units are waiting on a sublet vendor?”
- “Read me everything that arrived at the home base today.”
Works with the website and tools you already run.
One lightweight build — a VIN-addressable recon report, a badge for your vehicle pages, and standard ADF leads — drops onto whatever platform powers your site. No rip-and-replace, no sending your data to a competitor's cloud.
Inventory in
A dealer-authorized feed (or your DMS) streams live VINs into DealerRecon — no rip-and-replace.
Recon runs
Status, condition reports, window stickers, and front-line-ready flags are tracked per VIN.
Badge on your VDP
A lightweight badge surfaces the recon report on your vehicle pages — one snippet, any platform.
Leads to your CRM
Shopper interest routes back as a standard ADF lead to whatever CRM you already run.
Don't see your platform? If it can export an inventory feed and take a script tag, DealerRecon connects.

Built for the drive lane, not the boardroom.
DealerRecon is built around how reconditioning actually works — the texts, the sublet delays, the cars that sit because nobody owns the next step. It replaces the whiteboard and the group chat with one live board your whole team trusts.
No bloat, no six-month rollout. Configure it to your steps, put it on every phone in the shop, and start getting cars to the line faster this week.
See your recon process, under control.
