Granular Reconditioning Cost Estimations
July 15, 2026

Capture reconditioning costs with greater precision using line-item cost estimates for parts, labor and repairs. Dealers gain better visibility into vehicle investment, more accurate appraisals, and greater confidence in acquisition and pricing decisions—while still retaining the flexibility of the existing high-level estimation workflow.
Benefits
- Improve appraisal accuracy by capturing actual reconditioning expenses rather than relying on broad estimates.
- Make smarter acquisition decisions with a clearer understanding of total vehicle investment before purchase.
- Protect profit margins by reducing unexpected reconditioning cost surprises
- Increase consistency across appraisals with standardized cost inputs and documentation.
- Provide greater transparency for managers reviewing appraisal and acquisition decisions.
