About Drake Auto Reconditioning

RECONDITIONING BUILT AROUND THE WAY DEALERS WORK

Drake Auto Reconditioning has been working with dealerships and commercial customers for more than 25 years.

The business grew from hands-on experience in automotive interiors, upholstery, and vehicle reconditioning. Today, Drake provides a wide range of services, from interior and exterior repairs to lot washing and fleet services.

Our focus is simple: help dealerships keep their vehicles looking good, ready for sale, and moving through the recon process.

WHO IS BEHIND DRAKE?

Drake Auto Reconditioning is led by Jeremy Drake, along with a team of trained reconditioning professionals serving customers across our service areas.

Our approach comes from years of working directly with vehicles and understanding what it takes to make a repair look right—not just finished.

We work with dealerships to find practical solutions, communicate clearly, and provide consistent service.

A NOTE FROM JEREMY

“We started Drake by doing the work and taking pride in doing it right. Over the years, we’ve learned what dealerships need from a reconditioning partner—good communication, dependable service, and quality work. That’s still what we focus on every day.”

 

— Jeremy Drake, Founder

MORE THAN 25 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

Drake’s automotive and reconditioning experience dates back to 1999.

Over the years, the business has grown from upholstery and interior work into a broader reconditioning operation serving dealerships, fleets, municipalities, and commercial customers.

That experience has given our team the opportunity to work on a wide range of vehicles and solve all kinds of reconditioning challenges.

WHY DEALERS CHOOSE DRAKE

Dealerships move quickly, and reconditioning is one part of that process.

A damaged seat, stained carpet, cloudy headlight, windshield chip, odor, or dirty vehicle can all become another item that needs attention before a vehicle is ready.

Drake helps handle those needs with services that include:

• Interior and exterior reconditioning
• Leather, vinyl, plastic, fabric, and carpet repair
• Color matching and dye work
• Headlight restoration
• Windshield chip repair
• Odor removal
• Lot washing
• Fleet washing
• Mobile service

We also carry General Liability and Workers’ Compensation insurance.

The goal is to make reconditioning easier to manage and give dealership teams a service partner they can rely on.

OUR MISSION & VALUES

Do Good Work. Treat People Well.

At Drake, we believe good service starts with doing the work right and treating customers, employees, and their vehicles with respect.

EXPERIENCE

More than 25 years in the business has taught us that the small details matter.

RELIABILITY

Dealerships depend on their vendors to show up and do what they say they’ll do. We take that responsibility seriously.

QUALITY

We care about the finished result. Whether we’re repairing an interior or cleaning a vehicle, we want the work to look professional when it’s done.

EFFICIENCY

Reconditioning is part of a larger dealership process. We work to keep our services practical and minimize unnecessary delays.

PARTNERSHIP

We’re here to build long-term relationships with the dealerships and businesses we serve—not just complete a job and move on.

WHAT MAKES DRAKE DIFFERENT?

MORE RECON SERVICES. FEWER VENDORS TO MANAGE.

Drake offers a range of reconditioning and vehicle-care services under one company.

That can include everything from leather and vinyl repair to paint touch-up, headlight restoration, windshield chip repair, lot washing, and fleet services.

When several needs can be handled by the same team, there’s less coordination involved for the dealership.

It’s a straightforward idea:

More services. One relationship.

BUILT AROUND DEALERSHIPS

Dealerships have their own schedules, workflows, and priorities. We understand that reconditioning needs to fit into that environment—not get in the way of it.

Drake provides services that can be scheduled around dealership operations, including recurring lot and fleet washing.

Our LEAN detailing approach focuses on creating an efficient, consistent process and looking for ways to improve it over time.

For us, it’s not just about getting a vehicle clean. It’s about making the reconditioning process easier to manage.
