The "history" of CARS RECON, INC. is one of opportunity and flexibility. In the six years since it was organized, the company has evolved to fit the demands of the auction industry's leaders as they have responded to changes in auto remarketing.

CARS (Capital Automotive Reconditioning Services) was established in 2002 when auction industry executives expressed a need for contract reconditioning services that met or exceeded the standards of commercial and institutional accounts. Ron Hope's background was perfectly suited for this task and with a supporting cast of friends from related auction and automotive backgrounds the nucleus of what has become CARS was formed.

Being sensitive to auto auction cycles, competitive demands and special needs helped CARS grow one location at a time. Whether the service needs be Detail oriented, Paint & Body or Mechanical, CARS has been able to provide support when needed.

At 19 shops across the country, CARS employs more than 575 people to get vehicles ready for auction.

The role of CARS is to enable auction management to focus on the complexities of running a large auction without worrying about reconditioning services - that is what CARS does - that is all CARS does - recondition cars & trucks.
