Scope
Everything between acquisition and the front line
Recon is rarely one repair — it's paint here, a caliper there, tint, film, and a dent that shouldn't reach the customer. One account covers all of it.
Vehicle reconditioning
Trade-ins and auction units made frontline-ready: cosmetic paint work, dent repair, scuffed bumpers, panel refinishing — planned and documented per unit.
Collision & structural repair
The full body shop behind the recon lane — measured structural repair, panel replacement, and refinishing for damaged inventory or customer vehicles you refer.
Paint & refinishing
Booth refinishing with color matched to the vehicle, from a single bumper respray to full panels — finish quality that holds up on the front line.
Brake caliper painting
Caliper painting in factory-look or custom colors — a fast, high-margin upgrade for inventory or customer personalization.
Window tint
Film and tint through the GEM group's dedicated tint divisions, coordinated under the same dealer account.
Wrap & paint protection film
Vinyl wraps and PPF for new-car protection packages, spoilers-to-full-body color changes, and dealer-branded units.
Custom work
Personalization at will — custom paint, trim and appearance work for dealer specials, showroom units, and customer builds.
Pickup & drop-off
We move the vehicles so your team doesn't have to: pickup from your lot or auction, delivery back frontline-ready, across Southern California.
Tint, wrap and film work is delivered with the GEM Automotive Group's dedicated tint divisions under the same account. Collision work follows the same documented process as our retail repairs — see the 12-stage process.
How the program runs
Built to keep your days-to-frontline down
Recon delays cost holding dollars every day a unit sits. The program is designed around throughput and visibility, not drop-off-and-hope.
- 01
Account setup
One conversation to set up a wholesale account: your brands, your volume, your standards, who approves what, and how billing should flow.
- 02
Pickup & intake
We collect the vehicle from your lot or the auction, photograph it at intake, and write a documented recon or repair plan per unit.
- 03
Approval & turnaround
Your used-car or service manager approves the plan; work proceeds with status updates as units move — no vehicles going quiet for a week.
- 04
Frontline-ready delivery
The vehicle comes back to your lot inspected and ready to retail, with the documentation attached to the unit.
Wholesale account, preferred vendor arrangement, or overflow support for your in-house recon department — the structure follows how your store works, and pricing follows volume.

The body shop behind Southern California dealerships
Every dealership in Southern California has the same recon math: a unit that sits is a unit that costs money. Auction fees are sunk, floorplan interest accrues daily, and the front line only makes money when inventory is on it. That's the problem GEM Collision is built around. As a wholesale body shop and vehicle reconditioning vendor for dealerships across Los Angeles and the San Fernando Valley, we take units from acquisition condition to frontline-ready — collision repair, paint and refinishing, dent and bumper work, tint, wrap, PPF, and custom appearance packages — through one account with one point of contact.
Our facility at 7114 Laurel Canyon Blvd. in North Hollywood puts us minutes from the Valley's dealer rows and within pickup range of the whole LA basin. Dealer vehicles move on our schedule, not yours: we collect from your lot or the auction, document every unit at intake, and deliver it back retail-ready with the paperwork attached.
Wholesale reconditioning built for used-car managers
Used vehicle reconditioning lives and dies by three numbers: cost per unit, days to frontline, and comeback rate. Our dealer program is engineered against all three. Volume pricing is set at account level so your estimators aren't renegotiating every bumper. Turnaround is managed with status updates as units move through the repair process, because a unit that goes quiet for a week is a unit you can't retail plan around. And quality is documented per vehicle — photos at intake, a written plan, and verification before delivery — so what reaches your certified pre-owned inspection actually passes it.
The scope covers what a real recon lane produces: scuffed bumpers and curb-rashed corners, dents and door dings, panel resprays and full-vehicle color work, structural repair on damaged inventory, scanning and calibration when driver-assistance systems are disturbed, and the appearance work that moves the retail needle — brake caliper painting, window tint, vinyl wrap and paint protection film through the GEM Automotive Group's dedicated film divisions.
Overflow support and referral repairs
Dealer groups with in-house body shops use us as overflow capacity when the backlog builds — same documentation standards, no fight over whose customer it is. Service-drive referrals work the same way: when a customer's collision repair lands in your lane and you'd rather hand it to a shop than turn it away, send them to our estimate flow with your store's name attached. They get the process documented on our process page; you get a customer who remembers your dealership solved their problem.
For brand context on the vehicles your franchises sell, our vehicle expertise directory covers how we plan repairs for each make — from Porsche and BMW to Ford and Toyota.
