Honest condition reports, faster turnaround, fewer comebacks.
We support six dealer clients across Sacramento, Lodi, Elk Grove, and Galt — from a single-rooftop independent to a two-store franchise group. Every trade-in over $8,000 goes through us.
Why we know this category
The economics of pre-owned have changed. Margins are thinner, customers are more informed, and the cost of a post-sale comeback eats months of profit on a single deal. An honest in-house inspection process is no longer optional — but most dealers don't have the bandwidth to staff one properly.
We're the outsourced version of that process. We run a tight, photo-backed scoring system on every trade-in, recommend a retail/wholesale/auction track, and quantify recondition cost within $400 of what your service department actually spends.
What this category usually wrestles with
Trade-in walk-arounds done by salespeople, not technicians
It's not a knock on your sales team — it's just that paint reads and frame checks are technical skills. We bring those, and your team focuses on the customer.
Reconditioning costs blowing past initial estimates
If your average recon estimate misses by more than $600, that's real money. Our process narrows that to ±$400 in 90% of cases.
Post-sale comebacks eating CSI scores
We flag comeback-risk items before they hit a customer driveway. You decide what to fix, what to disclose, and what to wholesale.
Inventory aging because pricing was set on optimism
Our reports include a recommended retail track based on condition — not the desk's optimism number.
