    1. Driven by Dealers. Powered by Process. How ReconCash Was Born “It started with a $175 PSI — and a $3,200 mistake that wasn’t supposedly covered.” After years working for the nation’s largest auto auction company, I kept seeing the same thing: dealers paying for post-sale inspections that did little to fully protect them. Claims were denied. Cosmetic issues were missed. And good dealers — honest buyers — were left eating losses they shouldn’t have had to absorb.I watched smart operators lose money not because they didn’t do their homework — but because the system wasn’t built to protect them. It was built to protect the auction and consignor. They are motivated by one thing, to keep the deal together to collect buy and sell fees.That’s when I knew something had to change. We Flipped the Model I left the corporate auction world and started building the system I wish dealers had from day one: One that actually worked for the buyer, The buyer pays by far the highest auction fees including PSI and Simulcast fees. One that covered cosmetic and mechanical issues, One that included end-to-end arbitration handling — so dealers didn’t have to waste hours chasing cases or sitting on hold. Arbitrations are handled inconsistently by arbitrators and we hold them accountable to treat the little guy like the big guy. That system became ReconCash. Built for Scale. Designed for Independence. From the beginning, we knew this had to scale nationally for consistency. We created a licensing model that allows independent Inspection operators to run ReconCash territories, using our platform, branding, training, and support. Every territory is exclusive, local, and dealer-focused — because real trust is built locally. Today, ReconCash helps dealers recover thousands per month, and we’re just getting started. Our mission is simple: To protect dealers and buyers with fair, accurate, and independent arbitration inspections—delivered through a trusted national network of licensed operators.

      Some of the origin story was confusing and I suggested some improvements so this keeps the focus on how ReconCash addresses the problem with a solution from the perspective of the end users instead of ReconCash.

      Driven by Dealers. Powered by Process. How ReconCash Was Born

      ReconCash was born from a $175 pre-sale inspection (PSI) and a $3,200 cost for damage that the auction failed to disclose.

      In the traditional model, auctions, as the sellers, are responsible for documenting all damage in a PSI. Cosmetic and mechanical issues are often overlooked, leaving dealers who buy cars to review, file claims, and navigate a limited arbitration period to recover losses. When claims are denied or missed, dealer margins are unfairly impacted.

      Dealers weren’t losing money due to poor diligence—they were losing because the system wasn’t built to protect them. Auctions are motivated to complete deals and collect fees, not necessarily to ensure every issue is disclosed.

      The problem was clear: dealers needed a system that ensures fair transactions and simplifies the arbitration process. That system became ReconCash.

      A Dealer-First Approach

      ReconCash flips the traditional model:

      Protecting dealers who buy — covering both cosmetic and mechanical issues.

      Simplifying arbitration — we guide the dealer through the claim period, helping them identify overlooked damage and recover funds efficiently.

      Creating fair transactions — ensuring auctions fulfill their responsibility while safeguarding dealer margins.

      Built for Scale. Designed for Independence

      ReconCash was designed to scale nationally while keeping operations local. Our licensing model empowers independent inspection operators to run exclusive ReconCash territories using our platform, branding, training, and support. Every territory is dealer-focused because trust is built locally.

      Today, ReconCash helps dealers recover thousands per month—and we’re just getting started.

      Our Mission

      To protect dealers and buyers with fair, accurate, and independent arbitration inspections, delivered through a trusted national network of licensed operators.

    1. You receive exclusive rights to your territory, access to the ReconCash’s inspection system, dealer portal, SOPs, marketing materials, training, and ongoing support.

      I like the quick reference to 'playbooks' to build and run the business. Can we add that concept here?

    2. What kind of support do I get after launch? You get ongoing access to support, system updates, marketing templates, and the opportunity to participate in operator calls and best-practice sharing.

      What is the time period of support? Are there license maintenance costs that give me ongoing training and support?

    3. Most territories have seven-figure potential. A typical active territory can generate between $1 Million and $3 Million in dealer inspection revenue annually with the right effort and network.

      1-3M is a big range. Do the numbers really support the upper range?

    4. Requirements Strong work ethic and accountability Commitment to excellence and taking responsibility for results Basic inspection or mechanical knowledge (or ability to hire) Technical foundation or willingness to bring on qualified staff Commitment to brand standards and customer service Dedication to maintaining our quality standards and customer experience

      Right now, the “Requirements” section mostly lists soft skills and general attributes, but it’s missing the practical, operator-specific requirements that are critical for success in this model. It should reflect both personal qualities and business readiness.

      Here’s a rewritten version that includes the missing elements while keeping it concise and scannable:

      Territory Owner Requirements

      Strong Work Ethic & Accountability Take ownership of your territory, follow our proven systems, and deliver consistent results.

      Relevant Experience or Team Background in auto inspections, mechanics, or the ability to hire qualified staff.

      Financial Readiness Access to sufficient capital to operate your territory until revenue ramps up.

      Local Market Knowledge & Relationships Familiarity with your territory and connections to dealers to quickly grow your inspection pipeline.

      Commitment to Brand Standards & Customer Service Dedication to maintaining our quality standards, professionalism, and a positive customer experience.

    5. Behaviors in Action Integrity: Always document findings with evidence; never cut corners. Dealer-Centric: Explain inspection results in plain language. Ownership: Treat dealer disputes with urgency, as if your name is on it Consistency: Follow national SOPs for inspections and communication. Growth: Share best practices with peers; mentor new inspectors. Why Culture Matters to Licensees Protects the brand you are investing in. Creates repeat dealer trust, which drives recurring revenue. Makes your business scalable — inspectors and admins know “the ReconCash way.” Positions you as part of a respected national standard. Cultural Pillars Integrity First Every inspection, every claim, every conversation is built on honesty. We protect both dealers and buyers by standing neutral and consistent. Dealer-Centric Service Deliver inspections that are clear, professional, and transparent. Make it easy for dealers to trust the process and return to ReconCash. Ownership Mindset Territory owners run their businesses with pride and accountability. We treat every inspection as if our own reputation is on the line. Consistency Nationwide Local independence, but one standard of fairness across all 272 territories. Reports, processes, and customer experience feel seamless nationwide. People Growth Train, mentor, and develop inspectors and admins for long-term success. Provide opportunity to grow into leadership and territory ownership.

      this section reads more like internal culture and values for employees or inspectors rather than a page aimed at prospective territory owners. On the operator page, the focus should be on their business opportunity, support, and what they gain, not the internal culture in so much detail.

      Here’s how to improve it:

      Operate with Integrity, Build Dealer Trust, and Grow Your Business

      Running a successful ReconCash territory isn’t just about inspections — it’s about building a reputation, creating repeat business, and scaling your operations.

      Key Principles for Operators:

      Integrity & Reliability Deliver honest, accurate inspections every time. Consistency builds dealer trust and strengthens your reputation.

      Dealer-Centric Service Communicate inspection results clearly and professionally. Happy dealers return for repeat inspections, driving recurring revenue.

      Operational Consistency Use our proven systems, SOPs, and branded processes to run your business efficiently. Scalability comes naturally when your team knows “the ReconCash way.”

      Growth & Leadership Leverage training, tools, and support to expand your network, develop your team, and increase your revenue potential.

      Why These Principles Matter to You:

      Protects the value of the territory you’re investing in.

      Encourages repeat business from dealers, which fuels revenue.

      Makes your business scalable and easier to manage.

      Positions you as part of a trusted national standard.

    6. Protected geographic area for your business operations

      Better? If selected, we’ll size your exclusive territory based on dealer volume to provide a steady flow of inspections and review the license agreement.

    7. Apply Now to Reserve Your Area →

      We ask for experience in the 'reserve your area' form (but the values are years) and I think you'll want to ask for skills (mechanic, auto body, current inspector).

    8. If selected, we’ll confirm your exclusive territory boundaries, walk through the license agreement, and answer final questions.

      need to add and financial terms 'after agreement.'

    9. How It Works

      Better with slight pattern improvement:

      Apply to Become a Certified Territory Owner Start your journey to owning a profitable auto inspection business.

    10. Own the Future of Auto Inspections in Your Territory. We license exclusive territories to independent operators who want to builda business with recurring revenue over $1,000,000 and a proven system.

      Better? Become an Independent Auto Inspection Operator We offer exclusive territories to entrepreneurs who want a recurring revenue business over $1,000,000 backed by a proven system.

    1. Nationwide arbitration inspection service, powered by the InspectExpect system. Providing independent, buyer-first inspection services to auto dealers and territory operators.

      Seems best to remove the InspectExpect brand so as not to confuse until there is a reason to do so.

    2. Book Your Free Trial → Join hundreds of dealers who trust ReconCash for independent vehicle inspections. Get Started Today

      do we really mean book a free trial or 'book a meeting' because a free trial needs some additional detail for them to understand their commitment.

    3. No – However, we are working with clients that purchase at least 10 units/Month to maintain efficiency of the inspectors.

      While there’s no minimum, we do give priority to dealers purchasing 10 or more cars per month.

    4. We don’t get paid unless you do. Under our revenue share model, there’s no cost if the claim is denied, but we are highly motivated to escalate and exhaust all options.

      Better? You take no risk. Our proven methods make us highly successful at getting claims reimbursed.

    6. $150 flat per inspection — mechanical + cosmetic + claim filing OR $0 upfront – 60/40 revenue share model available

      suggested language:

      $150 per inspection – full mechanical & cosmetic check plus claim filing

      No upfront cost – choose our 60/40 revenue share model

    7. +$300 average concession per vehicle (Reconcash) Avoid missed cosmetic damage Hands-off claim handling Fast turnaround & real-time status

      a lot of duplication in that list with other content on this page: How about these:

      $300 average recovered per vehicle

      Full mechanical & cosmetic inspections

      Reduce risk from overlooked damage

      Hands-off claim handling & time saved

    8. Auction PSIs only look at mechanical, slow, and protects the auction and consignor — not you. We independently inspect your purchase both cosmetic and mechanical, file the arbitration claim, and work it through to resolution — saving you time and recovering real money.

      This has some awkward language. I like this better: Auctions conduct pre-sale inspections (PSIs) that focus primarily on mechanical issues. Nearly 25% of cars sold have cosmetic damage that goes overlooked — damage that can cut into your revenue. We inspect every car, handle the claim, and recover money you’d otherwise lose, turning overlooked damage into real cash.

    9. Get paid for missed damages — Without the Runaround.

      Perhaps this works with dealers but it seems that one of these options is better:

      Get reimbursed for missed vehicle damage — without the hassle that keeps most claims unpaid.

      Recover money for overlooked vehicle damage and turn every car into more profit — without the runaround.

      Most missed damage claims go unpaid. We fix that — fast, fair, and frustration-free.

      Stop losing money on overlooked damage. We help you get reimbursed — quickly and cleanly.

      Missed damage shouldn’t mean missed profit. We make reimbursements simple and fast.
