This instinct is particularly strong in the paintless dent removal industry. While a closer scrutiny of expenses in your PDR business is smart, what's even smarter is learning how to recognize which things (more advertising, PDR software, new tools) will have an immediate positive effect on your paintless dent repair business.

Used Car Reconditioning Operations

Drive Your Used Car Operations Using Smart Technology

Fast, high quality, fairly priced reconditioning work is essential in preparing used cars by sale. Used car dealers spend hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars every year in carrying costs while vehicles are being reconditioned, and many thousand more in payment to reconditioning vendors.

With a paper-based system, recon operations are often drowning in paperwork and lacking the business information that you would like to have to track vendor performance and improve operational efficiency. How can you speed up the reconditioning process, keep track of each vendor’s work for each vehicle, and know when work is behind schedule?

AMT’s Recon Monitor offers great value to used car dealerships by providing much-needed technology developed specifically for the reconditioning process.

AMT’s easy-to-learn, affordable system can quickly pay for itself by bringing technology and efficiency to used car sales operations. Using a system that immediately captures pertinent information, and tracks each vehicle through each vendor’s work, used cars are frontline faster and potential scheduling problems are highlighted before they become crises. Your used car reconditioning operation will run smoother, saving time and money.

Using cell phones and PDAs running Windows Mobile, as well as Web-based technology, information is gathered quickly. This immediately creates a “to-do list” and delegates tasks to the appropriate reconditioning vendor or company technician. By viewing the “executive dashboard” from any PC connected to the internet , service managers supervising reconditioning activities can quickly identify potential scheduling bottlenecks and improve communication lines with onsite reconditioning vendors, speeding up the time needed to prepare a used car for sale.
