    Detail still in progress.

    Recon, 24826 is sold.

  • Same car. New stock number.

    24817W24817

    Notes, stages and history kept together.

    Recon, change the stock number of 24817 to W24817.

Text it like you’d
tell the shop.

Start a message with “Recon,” give the stock number and say what changed. Recon puts it on the car’s record and confirms in the thread, so nobody has to retype it later.

It works in the group text your team already uses. Messages that aren’t for Recon, it leaves alone.

Keep sold
cars moving.

The board shows every car in recon: how far along it is, what’s holding it up and how long it’s been in. Days count from the day the RO opens.

Tell Recon which cars are sold, urgent or on hold. A sold car stays in recon until the work is finished, so the team can see what still needs doing.

Find the car and the person handling it

Assign a technician, advisor, or location by name. Ask “Recon, which cars are assigned to Jamie?” to see the matching records in the thread.

Ask what’s ready or waiting

Ask which cars have waited longest, what’s holding one up, or what’s ready for the front line. Recon answers from the vehicle record.

Correct a record when plans change

Reopen mechanical or detail, correct an RO total, rename a stock number, or bring a wholesale car back. Notes and history stay with the vehicle.

We set it up.
You keep texting.

Our team adds Recon to your group text within 24 hours after payment. Tracking recon in a spreadsheet today? We’ll bring your cars over, with stock numbers, stages and notes.

Your other software stays where it is.

One plan.
$799 a month.

Recon in your group text and the shared board. Setup by our team within 24 hours after payment, help bringing over your spreadsheet, and quick-response support while your team gets started.

Billed monthly. You review payment in Stripe before anything is charged.

Before you
bring Recon in.

What if Recon gets something wrong?

Check the car on the board. Your team can correct the record there, or tell Recon in the thread: “Recon, 24830 RO is 6104421.” Every change shows up in the car’s timeline.

Who can see our dealership’s data?

The board requires sign-in and keeps vehicle records scoped to your dealership’s account. Updates posted in the group text are visible to that group. Talk with us about your data-handling requirements.

Do we have to replace our DMS?

No. Recon keeps the recon record next to the software you already use. If you track recon in a spreadsheet, we can bring those records over. Importing doesn’t sync your other systems.

Recon is made by Tradia
