Rapid Recon Releases RECON T2L
Rapid Recon founder and CEO Dennis McGinn has published a new how-to reconditioning manual, ‘RECON T2L,’ in time for NADA 2019.


PALO ALTO, Calif. — Rapid Recon announced today the release of “RECON T2L, the Starting Line for Reversing Margin Compression,” a new reconditioning best practices guidebook written by company founder and CEO Dennis McGinn. The book is available free to dealers attending NADA Show 2019 this month in San Francisco.
Readers will be encouraged to evaluate their existing reconditioning practices based on real-world case studies. The text includes ample financial analysis, in tables and charts, to help dealers compare their current recon practice output to output driven by “time-to-line” (or “T2L”) principles, McGinn said.
“Rapid Recon has grown 50 percent in the last 12 months as dealers continue to embrace our intuitive reconditioning software that reduces their recon times to just a few days, making recon more profitable for the dealership,” McGinn said. “Dealers using our workflow solution enjoy ROI results of $50 for each dollar spent on the software.”
