In automotive retail, speed sells. The faster a vehicle goes from acquisition to frontline-ready and photos online, the sooner it can generate profit. But reconditioning is where many dealerships lose precious time and money.
At OnSite Dealer Solutions (ODS), we’ve built a system around accelerating this critical process without cutting corners. Whether it's a fresh trade-in, an auction buy, or a brand-new unit straight off the transport truck, our teams, who are stationed inside your dealership, are trained to move fast and deliver flawless results.
Why Speed to Market Matters
Every day a car sits in recon is a day it’s not making money. With the average U.S. car dealership taking 10 days to recondition and detail a vehicle, that’s 10 lost opportunities for test drives, online views, and sales conversations.
ODS Cients Operate Differently
Thanks to our streamlined processes and trained detail and recon teams, ODS cuts average recon time by 90%. That’s right, most of our partner stores have trade-in vehicles back on the lot and photographed, in 24 hours or less.
This speed doesn’t just boost sales velocity. It directly reduces holding costs, minimizes depreciation, and improves cash flow across the board.
More Than Fast, It’s Flawless
It’s not enough to be fast. The vehicle has to look and feel right. This is where many recon companies fall short. At ODS, we treat every car, new or used, with equal attention to detail. That means:
Customer Loyalty Starts with Condition
Whether a vehicle is purchased or serviced, a cars condition shapes the customer’s perception of the dealership. A car that shines, smells fresh, and feels clean creates a lasting impression and gives customers a reason to come back.
Beyond recon, ODS provides full-service detailing for customer pay vehicles and service loaners, keeping the customer experience consistent across departments. This consistency breeds long-term loyalty and referrals, helping dealerships grow not just sales but relationships.
Reconditioning, Redefined
Time is money. ODS turns what’s typically a bottleneck into a competitive edge. By getting cars frontline-ready in record time, without compromising quality, we empower dealerships to sell sooner, delight customers, and drive revenue faster.
