Colorado Springs Auto Repair

2020 is a year none of us will ever forget. That is for sure. Yet, as we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving this week, we still have to stop and take the time to give our thanks. That's what this special holiday is all about.  Being Thankful We may not be able to have really big family get-togethers this Thanksgiving, but we can still be thankful for the things we do have. LightHouse Automotive has been fortunate enough to be considered an "essential business" and we've been able to stay open throughout the year in order to help people throughout the Colorado Springs area with their auto care needs. Support Your Favorite Local Businesses Not all local businesses have been as fortunate, though. This holiday season, we highly recommend you support local businesses as much as possible. Buy gift cards at your favorite restaurants and shop at your local ... read more

If you are considering the purchase of a used car, always remember that you have the right to get the vehicle inspected by an objective third party. It's the smart thing to do before you commit to buying. If no problems are found, it gives you extra peace of mind. If there are issues, you will be able to make better purchase decisions. Even if you still decide to buy the car, you'll know exactly what work it needs and that can also help with your negotiations. We perform pre-purchase inspections all the time at LightHouse Automotive. Used vehicle buyers know they can count on us for an unbiased opinion and thorough inspection report. We recently had a customer named Cole come into the shop for a pre-purchase vehicle inspection. Here's what he had to sa ... read more

There's a lot going on in our country—and throughout the world—right now. However, today is Veterans Day in the United States, so we wanted to take a moment to celebrate this very important holiday. As an auto shop based in Colorado Springs, we have always had a strong connection with this area's rich military heritage. Local Military Connections We have Peterson AFB, Schriever AFB, Fort Carson, Cheyenne Mountain and the Air Force Academy all fairly close to our city. It should come as no surprise that we deal with many active duty service men and women, as well as veterans who still live in this community and cadets at the Academy. We are grateful to each and every one of you for your service and sacrifice. LightHouse Automotive Military Discount As our own little way of saying "thank you" for your service, we offer a 10% discount on our automotive services to all military veterans and active duty per ... read more

You might not think that fall is a good time to get your car's air conditioning system serviced, but it is. Remember, the A/C system also controls the heater and front window defrosters. Those are obviously important features in Colorado, where the winter temperatures dip below freezing. We get snow, ice, fog and rain through fall and well into spring, as well. Now is a great time to get your A/C system inspected, tested and serviced as we head into the coldest months of the year. Stay Safe and Comfortable Most Colorado Springs drivers will get plenty of use out of their heaters and defrosters this time of year. Of course, you want to stay comfortable while inside the vehicle. Few things feel better than cranking up the heat after spending a few minutes outside. Make sure your heater is providing ample heat, your vents are clean and your cabin air filter is replaced when ... read more
