Reconditioning

Core reconditioning

The work that moves units from arrival to frontline-ready. Available individually or in combination across any active APAR program.

Paintless Dent Repair (PDR)

Non-invasive dent removal that preserves factory paint. APAR technicians handle door dings, panel dents, and multi-vehicle hail events using precision PDR tools — no filler, no respray.

Paint repair

Spot paint repair for scratches, chips, and scuffs without a full panel respray. Faster cycle times and lower cost per unit than a body shop, applied directly on the dealer lot.

Request this service →

Interior repair

Leather, vinyl, fabric, and hard plastic repair covering seats, door panels, dashboards, and consoles. Returns trade-ins and off-lease units to presentable condition.

Request this service →

Wheel repair & reconditioning

Curb rash, scuffs, and corrosion removed and refinished on-site. Available in factory color match or custom finish for CPO and high-margin inventory.

Glass repair / replacement

Windshield chip repair and full glass replacement for all vehicle classes. ADAS camera recalibration available for equipped vehicles.

Protection

Appearance protection

Applied at the recon stage or on request. Preserves paint and glass condition for higher-margin CPO and retail inventory.

Paint Protection Film (PPF)

Urethane film bonded to high-impact zones or full vehicle panels. Guards against chips, road debris, and light abrasion. Full-front and partial-coverage options available.

Request this service →

Ceramic coating

SiO2 professional-grade coating that bonds to painted surfaces for hydrophobic protection, enhanced gloss, and long-term ease of maintenance. Applied by trained APAR technicians.

Request this service →

Window tinting

Dealer and retail window film installation using 3M, LLumar, and ceramic-formula films. Reduces heat load, UV exposure, and interior fade. All major vehicle types and tint levels.

Request this service →

Detailing

Full-service detailing

From express prep to full correction. Scaled for lot throughput, not appointment books.

Express detail

Interior vacuum and wipe-down, exterior wash and dry, glass cleaning, and tire dressing. Designed for high-volume daily throughput on active dealer lots.

Full interior & exterior detail

Comprehensive service including steam cleaning, leather conditioning, paint decontamination, and machine polish. Used for CPO certification prep and high-margin retail units.

Why APAR

One vendor. Every service. One standard.

Trained to APAR standards

APAR trains and deploys its own technicians to dealer locations. Direct oversight of quality and scheduling — with a single vendor accountable for every service in the program.

260+ active dealer locations

APAR operates at scale in 20+ states. Multi-rooftop and regional dealer groups get the same technicians and service standards across every market in their program.

Single point of contact

High-volume programs include a dedicated account manager. One person handles scheduling, billing, service requests, and performance reporting across your entire operation.

Any service, on request

Pick the services your inventory needs. PDR only. PDR plus ceramic. Full reconditioning with photography. APAR operates as a flexible partner, not a take-it-or-leave-it contract.

50,000 vehicles per month

APAR reconditions at a volume that most regional vendors can't match. Dealer groups with large lots and fast turns have a provider that can keep pace.

In business since 1994

APAR started in Houston with one dealer partner. Thirty years later, the operation spans 20+ states. That track record means stable vendor relationships and consistent service — not a new provider learning the business on your lot.
