Recon (Vehicle Reconditioning)

Definition for europe automotive professionals.

Recon (short for reconditioning) is the process a dealership undertakes to prepare a used vehicle for retail sale after it is acquired. This includes mechanical inspection and repair, safety checks, detail work, paintwork, upholstery, photography, and window sticker preparation. Recon cost and recon time are two critical metrics for used car profitability: high recon costs reduce front-end gross, while long recon cycles increase days-to-market and holding costs. Recon software platforms like Rapid Recon help dealerships manage and track this process.
