February 6, 2026– Los Angeles, CA – DealerCenter today announced the nationwide availability of Recon & Service Bay, a new solution designed to help dealerships streamline internal reconditioning and customer-facing service operations within a single, integrated platform. Recon & Service Bay gives dealers greater visibility into vehicle turnaround, cost control, and service performance, helping them move inventory faster, improve operational efficiency, and deliver a more modern service experience.
Dealerships today are under constant pressure to move inventory faster, control costs, and deliver a modern service experience for customers. Whether you are using DealerCenter today or exploring new dealership technology, managing reconditioning and service operations efficiently is critical to profitability.
Recon & Service Bay is DealerCenter’s purpose-built solution designed to support two distinct dealership workflows: internal reconditioning and customer-facing service work. Built on one integrated platform, Recon & Service Bay helps dealerships gain visibility, accountability, and control across both operations.
Reconditioning is all about speed, consistency, and margin. Recon & Service Bay gives dealerships the tools to manage the full recon lifecycle, from intake to frontline-ready, without relying on disconnected systems or manual tracking.
With Recon Management, dealerships can:
Use a built-in inspection template to capture a comprehensive assessment of vehicle condition and safety before work begins
Manage reconditioning through predefined workflows or customized templates that match how your dealership operates
Set and track turnaround time targets at each stage of recon to identify delays and keep vehicles moving on schedule
Capture all recon labor, parts, and expenses and automatically roll them into total vehicle costs
Monitor recon timelines, throughput, and costs with comprehensive dashboards and reports
By standardizing inspections, tracking time by stage, and tying recon costs directly to each vehicle, dealerships gain clearer insight into where time and money are being spent and where improvements can be made.
Service Bay is designed for customer-facing repairs and service work, helping dealerships manage jobs from start to finish while improving communication, transparency, and efficiency.
With Service Bay, dealerships can:
Create and manage work orders, estimates, and invoices in one centralized system
Use digital inspections to document vehicle condition and recommended repairs
Send digital job authorizations to speed up customer approvals
Accept digital payments and close out service jobs seamlessly
Track service workload and performance with built-in dashboards and reports
Service Bay helps dealerships deliver a smoother service experience while giving managers better visibility into active jobs and technician productivity.
Recon & Service Bay is designed to clearly separate recon and service workflows while keeping them connected. This eliminates duplicate data entry, reduces manual processes, and provides a more complete view of operations across the dealership.
Both recon and service teams can:
Complete inspections and update jobs from anywhere using a mobile-friendly experience
Access real-time dashboards and reporting to track performance
Work within a single platform without switching systems
Recon & Service Bay gives dealerships the structure they need to move inventory faster and the tools required to deliver a modern, customer-friendly service experience. By combining reconditioning and service management into one integrated solution, dealerships can operate more efficiently and make better decisions.
