Why Dealers Choose Ikon Over RecovR

A true Connected Car Solution, not just a one-time transaction
Superior after-sales support. Service retention marketing that delivers.

DEVICE
ReliAblity

Ikon devices offer superior reliability by drawing power directly from the vehicle battery with an integrated internal backup. Unlike RecovR’s battery-only units, this permanent connection enables real-time data and faster updates - crucial for immediate theft recovery and precision service alerts that drive service retention.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
‍THAT SHOWS UP

Ikon isn't a transaction, it's a program. From pre-implementation training through to performance management, theft recovery and service retention marketing, our experts are committed to supporting your entire dealership's success, with a large team of dedicated account managers to help ensure your success. RecovR isn't scaled to support dealer success.

MANAGED RETENTION 
MARKETING THAT DELIVERS

Our perfectly timed, mileage-based service reminder texts generate a 30% response rate, resulting in more CPROs and high-intent service leads. RecovR offers nothing to Fixed Ops, the department that pays the dealership's bills.

your brand in THE CUSTOMER'S Pocket

Ikon’s dealer-branded app keeps YOUR name in front of customers, not ours. That boosts loyalty, drives retention, and delivers a smoother service experience. RecovR uses their own branded app, which doesn't keep customers connected to you, it keeps them connected to RecovR.

I'll tell you, it's been a saving grace for us because not only is it the solutions that you're signing up for, but also, the customer support and the personnel.

Ikon has been a huge plus in a lot of ways. Not only has it increased our sales penetration numbers, but it has also increased the average profit per sale by $300, which is a nice addition to the bottom line. We would absolutely recommend Ikon to any other dealer that's looking for a telematics partner. If they're not, they should be.
