Increase Profits By Reducing Your Recon Timeline – Dennis McGinn
CBT News welcomes Dennis McGinn, Founder and CEO of Rapid Recon. During this segment, Jim and Dennis discuss the benefits of software designed for calibrating reconditioning efficiency. Dealers are always looking to cut down on the time it takes to move inventory, especially used cars that need reconditioning.

Dennis believes a system like Rapid Recon can cut that time in half. Watch Now
