When you invest in a pre-owned exotic vehicle, you expect it to deliver both high performance and luxurious style, just like it did when it first rolled off the production line. At Boardwalk Auto Group, we understand the importance of maintaining the prestige and quality that comes with driving a Ferrari, Lamborghini, or Bentley, or other exotic brands. That’s why every pre-owned luxury or exotic vehicle in our inventory undergoes a meticulous reconditioning process, bringing it back to a near-new condition.
What Is Reconditioning, and Why Does It Matter?
Reconditioning is the detailed process of restoring a pre-owned vehicle to like-new condition, focusing on both cosmetic and mechanical aspects. While many buyers assume that a used car will come with visible wear and tear, our goal is to offer vehicles that not only meet high performance standards but also exceed expectations in terms of aesthetics and overall quality.
For pre-owned exotic cars, reconditioning is even more critical. These vehicles are more than just transportation—they are a reflection of your lifestyle and passion for luxury. Whether it’s a sleek McLaren or a classic Porsche, reconditioning ensures that your car remains a head-turner, regardless of its age.
The Reconditioning Process: What We Do
At Boardwalk Auto Group, we take pride in our comprehensive reconditioning process, which involves several key steps to bring each vehicle back to its like-new condition. Here’s a closer look at the process behind our exotic and luxury vehicle reconditioning:
1. Thorough Inspection
- Why It’s Important: Before any work is done, our experienced technicians conduct a multi-point inspection to identify potential mechanical issues, cosmetic imperfections, or performance concerns. This includes examining the engine, transmission, suspension, brakes, and other key components to ensure everything is operating as it should.
- The Process: Each vehicle is inspected from bumper to bumper, and no detail is overlooked. We assess the car’s exterior, interior, tires, and even electronics to make sure every feature works flawlessly.
2. Mechanical Repairs and Tune-Ups
- Why It’s Important: Pre-owned exotic cars are designed for high performance, and it’s essential that they continue to deliver that same level of power and precision after reconditioning. Addressing any mechanical issues is critical for maintaining the car’s performance and ensuring a smooth, reliable driving experience.
- The Process: If our inspection uncovers any mechanical issues, our certified technicians make the necessary repairs, using only OEM parts (Original Equipment Manufacturer) to maintain the car’s integrity. We also perform tune-ups, including oil changes, fluid top-offs, and brake inspections, so the vehicle runs at its peak performance level.
3. Interior Detailing and Restoration
- Why It’s Important: The interior of an exotic car is where luxury truly comes to life. Over time, even well-cared-for vehicles can experience wear on leather seats, upholstery, and other surfaces. We take special care to restore the cabin to its original elegance.
- The Process: Our detailing team meticulously cleans, conditions, and restores every interior surface. We repair any imperfections in leather, upholstery, and trim, ensuring the cabin looks as pristine as it did when it was new. From the dashboard to the seats and door panels, we make sure every inch of the interior feels luxurious and fresh.
4. Exterior Detailing and Paint Correction
- Why It’s Important: The exterior of a luxury or exotic car makes a statement, and we know how important it is for your car to look stunning at all times. Paint swirls, scratches, and dings are common on pre-owned vehicles, but they don’t have to be permanent.
- The Process: Our experts use paint correction techniques to eliminate any imperfections on the surface, restoring the paint’s original shine. We apply a multi-stage polish and buff process, which not only removes scratches but also enhances the depth and clarity of the paint. We finish the job with a protective wax or ceramic coating, giving the vehicle a showroom-quality finish.
5. Tire and Wheel Inspection
- Why It’s Important: Tires and wheels are critical for both performance and safety. Ensuring they are in excellent condition is a crucial part of the reconditioning process for exotic cars.
- The Process: We inspect the tires for tread depth and wear patterns, replacing them if necessary. Wheels are also inspected for any damage, such as curb rash or dents, and are repaired or refinished to look like new. Proper tire alignment and balancing are part of the final checks to guarantee optimal performance.
6. Final Quality Assurance
- Why It’s Important: Before any vehicle is listed for sale, it undergoes a final quality assurance check to ensure that it meets our high standards for performance and presentation.
- The Process: A senior technician performs a road test to confirm that the vehicle drives smoothly and that all repairs and tune-ups have been successful. Once the vehicle passes this rigorous test, it is ready to be showcased in our inventory.

- Peace of Mind: Knowing that your vehicle has been thoroughly inspected and repaired gives you confidence that it’s in top mechanical condition, reducing the risk of unexpected repairs down the road.
