Vehicle Reconditioning Facilities and Equipment

Reconditioning Vehicles the Proper Way

If you’re looking to buy a used car for sale, much more than price should be considered. Price is definitely a top priority but it shouldn’t be the only factor. The quality of the pre-owned vehicle for sale you are looking to purchase is a crucial area most drivers overlook or don’t know what to look for. At Vern Eide, your used car dealership in Sioux Falls, we’ve outlined the importance of vehicle reconditioning and what to look for because we believe the little things count. It’s one of our core values known as the Eide Effect. Not only is the process of reconditioning vehicles important but so are the facilities and equipment at used car dealerships.

At many dealerships the reconditioning department is crammed into small areas or located where there is extra space in the building and there’s very little attention paid to what is needed for lighting, space, personnel, and equipment. These areas of the facility are very important to ensure a smooth workflow of the inspection and reconditioning processes. Not to say the reconditioning center should be out on the showroom floor or open to the public, but at our Vern Eide locations, we take reconditioning vehicles very seriously. We know that when it’s done correctly we provide safer, cleaner, and overall better vehicles that will drive longer and maintain their value.

Now that we’ve outlined the details of our facilities, it’s also important to review the reconditioning equipment being used. In most used car dealerships the equipment is primitive at best. Possessing a shop vacuum, a few brushes, and rags doesn’t allow for the process to be done in a manner that will ultimately provide a safe and cleaner used vehicle. Our Vern Eide locations also sell and service new vehicles, giving us a significant advantage over other Sioux Falls used car dealerships. We have numerous new car dealerships between Sioux City, Sioux Falls, and Mitchell, serving the Midwest with brands like Honda, Acura, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Chevrolet, and Ford. It’s important to note that each of these manufacturers require very rigorous training and certification processes, as well as an investment in technology and equipment that carries over to our reconditioning centers, allowing us to provide a much higher level of service.
