Frequently Asked Questions
Quick answers about AIRS and dealer reconditioning software.
What is AIRS?
AIRS (Automotive Inventory Reconditioning Solution) is dealer reconditioning software that tracks every vehicle from acquisition through recon to front-line ready. It gives your whole team a live pipeline view, per-vehicle cost tracking, work order management, and performance reporting in one system.
Why not just use spreadsheets or a whiteboard?
Spreadsheets and whiteboards go stale the moment someone forgets to update them, and they can't track costs per VIN, enforce holding windows, or alert the next team when a vehicle moves stages. Dealers running recon manually typically lose days per vehicle and have no visibility into true recon cost until it's too late.
How long does it take to get set up?
Days, not months. We deploy a dedicated AIRS environment for your dealership, configure your recon stages, vendor list, and user roles to match how your store operates, and train your team — training typically takes an afternoon.
Does AIRS support dealer groups with multiple stores?
Yes. Each rooftop gets its own dedicated environment, and dealer groups get group-level visibility across all stores from a single login.
Who at the dealership uses AIRS?
Everyone in the recon operation: used car managers track status and costs, recon techs view and log work orders, sales sees what's front-line ready, detail and photo teams get notified when vehicles reach their stage, and GMs get store-wide reporting. Role-based access gives each person exactly what they need.
How much does AIRS cost?
Pricing depends on your store's size and setup. Request a demo and we'll walk through your workflow and give you a straightforward quote — no commitment and no sales pressure.
Do I need my IT department to deploy AIRS?
No. AIRS is web-based and we handle the setup. Your dealership gets its own instance at airs.datatik.com with no shared databases and nothing to install.
