if its saying at prep center then its probably already at the dealer. the update is slow and inaccurate.

but to answer your question, 1 day at prep then 1-2 days delivery to dealer depending on distance from prep to dealer. then 1 day at dealer to put the car in inventory and run diagnostics and prep again.

the prep center only checks for damage and puts in some of the paperwork like lemon law crap

We usually figure about 5 days from the docking date to arrive at the dealership,unless there's damage,then it will take a little longer.You can always contact your CA for an update !

How many prep centers are there for the country or each state? Kind of curious to see how many facilities they have to meet the many cars coming in.

Hello Irv,
I just wanted to confirm that cars that are custom ordered are processed through the VPC faster than cars that are destined for dealer stock. Please let me know.
