Trade-in triage and lot-ready scoring.
The dealer reconditioning workflow we run for two franchise stores and four independents in Lodi, Elk Grove, and Galt — built to reduce post-sale comebacks and price inventory honestly.
Overview
Trade-in pricing is more art than science, but the science part — what the vehicle actually needs — is where dealers most often lose money. We provide the science end of that equation, fast.
Our reconditioning workflow runs alongside your detail and service line. We score each unit, flag anything that crosses a customer-comeback threshold, and hand back recommended retail and wholesale tracks.
