Free recon cost calculator
Every vehicle sitting in reconditioning bleeds money. Between floorplan interest, depreciation, and missed sales, holding costs add up to $30–55 per car per day. Multiply that by every car in your recon pipeline and the number gets ugly fast. Plug in your numbers.
That's $4,200/month back in your pocket
An estimate from the numbers you enter, not a promise. Your results depend on your shop.
Most dealerships know that aging inventory is bad. But few have done the math on exactly how much each extra day in reconditioning costs them. Here is the breakdown:
At current rates, floorplan interest runs $20–35 per day per vehicle. For a dealer with 15 cars in recon averaging 8 days, that is $2,400–4,200 in interest alone every cycle.
Vehicles lose value every single day they are not on the front line. Market shifts, seasonal demand changes, and mileage-equivalent aging can cost $10–20 per day in lost retail value.
A car in the shop is a car that cannot be sold. Every day in recon is a day of lost potential gross profit. Faster turns mean more units sold per month from the same inventory investment.
Most dealers guess at their recon time. Without step-by-step tracking, bottlenecks stay hidden. Is it detail taking too long? Parts on backorder? Waiting on approvals? You need data to know where the time goes.
Lotly Recon tracks every car from intake to frontline, so you can see which days you are losing and fix them.
