<!-- wp:reyrey-js/paragraph {"content":"CarMax has chosen to hire 1,800 production workers across their 222 stores to speed up the reconditioning process. You likely aren’t going to this level of expansion in your dealership, so what are your plans to compete? The article recommends dealers create a separate reconditioning process for lower-grade cars, and implement a tool to track efficiency. Adding technology to the process will help speed it up, especially for vehicles in worse condition than what your dealership is used to. Before choosing a reconditioning software to put in your dealership, you need to consider everything it needs to do for you."} /-->
