Condition Now for Dealers :

Condition Now offers three (3) distinct types of inspections to fit any vehicle that a dealer may have on their lot. Among our offerings include:

• Standard: Standard inspections designed are for vehicles with non-descript damage or accident information. They help to verify and clarify the limited damage related to the reported event. This report can also serve to confirm the absence of damage or repairs to vehicles without incident history. The standard check ensures that information about the vehicle is transparent and can include an OBDII check to verify all readiness monitors have been reset correctly.

• Plus: The Plus inspection is reserved for vehicles that have VERY MINOR or MINOR DAMAGE reported from an accident or damage event. The report will include pictures of any panels that have had previous repairs.  The process used to determine the repair quality uses up to 5 points per panel assessment and is certified by collision industry experts including IADA.  The report generated helps to paint a complete picture for the next potential owner.

• Platinum: Platinum inspections are used on vehicles that have had MODERATE to SEVERE DAMAGE reported from an accident or damage event. Pictures of the repair on all panels are taken and included in the report as well as an up to a 10 point per panel repair quality assessment. This report includes a check for visibly evident structural damage. When applicable documentation related to the repairs can be uploaded to the report allowing for further verification of proper repairs to the vehicle. ODBII sensors can also be checked and to verify the proper completion of repairs.

Customer Retention Program :

Dealership-owned or associated body shops that meet the stringent industry-recognized standards of Condition Now may be granted the ability to perform inspections using the company’s proprietary software. This could be a brilliant chance to increase revenue potential. Among the immediate benefits of becoming a partner with Condition Now offers are:

• More Saleable Leases and/or Trades
  

  Dealers have the option and in some cases are required to buy a certain amount of off-lease vehicles. The ones with damage can represent a great value especially when limited availability drives up prices of the undamaged or non-accident reported vehicles. By purchasing these damaged vehicles as they come in and sending them to their internal body shops for certified refits and restoration. The certified report allows a dealership to show that a vehicle has undergone extensive restoration and repair works and is certified to be of good quality. These vehicles may not fetch as much as undamaged ones, but the price of a report-certified vehicle will make the vehicle more marketable and ultimately more profitable based on its lower initial acquisition cost.

• Acquiring New Customers
  

  Customer acquisition for dealers typically comes from sales. But by having a Condition Now partnership, dealers stand to get more business from repairs done at their body shops. The Condition Now reports allow for supporting documentation to be included with them. If the dealership chooses they can include incentive vouchers with the reports. By presenting the body shop customer with a voucher stating that if the customer brings that vehicle back to that dealership when it’s time to trade it in the dealership will consider its accident history less impactful to its value. The dealership not only benefits by getting the opportunity to make a new sale but gets a top-quality highly marketable trade. This method of customer acquisition will translate into more new and used car sales.

• Retain Existing Customers
  

  When a customer buys a car that’s certified with Condition Now from the dealership’s body shop, they also get the information about the restoration via a report that shows the dealership was involved in the repair process. Thus, when the consumer needs to come in for repairs or maintenance, the dealership is the first place they’d go.
