Improve your reconditioning process - Tips for Dealer Principals and General Managers

There is no denying the fact that reconciliation is an integral part of getting a car ready for the frontline. However, it is nothing more than a subset of the time-to-market. There was a time when the General Managers were happy to see the inventory manager, service manager, and UCM going through a spreadsheet for the metrics and accountability. However, now, the Dealer Principal or General Manager has a more direct role to play in time-to-market because of three strategic reasons. It has become much easier for them to remain on top of their metrics without much effort.

The reconditioning process followed by a dealership impacts its bottomline by a significant amount. Similar patterns are repeated a number of times, and this can lead to either savings or additional expenses for the dealership. Maximization of profit on each reconditioned vehicle is only possible by minimizing the turnaround. This can be accomplished by a well-organized plan that allows the dealership to complete all necessary jobs within the least possible time. On the other hand, poor planning not only leads to wastage of time and money, but also keeps the entire workforce busy without sufficient return.

Most of the industry experts suggest that each vehicle suffers a net value depreciation of 1.50% to 1.75% every month.
This depreciation percentage may not look like an alarming one. However, this percentage refers to a monthly depreciation of $30,000 for a dealership with 100 vehicles, each worth $15,000.
This is equal to a depreciation of one thousand dollars per day. Therefore, it is possible to improve a dealership’s bottom line significantly even by improving the reconditioning process by a few days.
