Services our crews can provide a Sarasota dealership
Dealership reconditioning
Our crews clay and polish used units. Full interior work and odor treatment round it out. The crews are ours, and we use no partners. Paintless dent repair is done at the dealership's request. Wheel repair is the same. Additional work bills at the contract rate.
Pre-delivery inspection (PDI) detailing
On a new arrival, the shipping protection comes off. It gets a wash and decontamination. Paint is checked for transit scuffs. The service team receives our documented findings. This is appearance and cleaning only. Mechanical PDI stays with your technicians.
Dealership lot management
Lot management is lot washing. Wheels and tires get cleaned too. When you want more, add exterior detailing. Interior reconditioning and surface protection work the same way.
Dealership car wash operations
Door jambs are part of the wash. We cover new arrivals, used inventory and loaners. Washes can be timed ahead of listing photos. At the dealer's request, some stores add courtesy washes.
Dealership prep and front line readiness
Front line ready means this touch list. Dealers add items as needed.
