Customer Gets Pre-Purchase Vehicle Inspection for Subaru Outback

March 4, 2020

Brian was in the market to buy a used car, and he had his eyes on a Subaru Outback for sale here in the Colorado Springs area. However, he is a smart consumer who knows his rights as a pre-owned vehicle buyer. Brian wanted to get the Subaru properly inspected by a professional automotive shop—a neutral third-party expert—before he committed to purchasing the vehicle. He wanted it done while he was in town looking at the SUV, so he called LightHouse Automotive .

"I was looking for a place that could give my potentially future Subaru Outback a pre-purchase inspection on short notice," Brian says. "I was thankful LightHouse was able to squeeze me in SAME DAY!!"

If you are thinking about buying a used car, it's always a good idea to have a pre-purchase vehicle inspection completed. It will give you more peace of mind knowing the full condition of the vehicle before you sign any paperwork or hand over any payment. You'll know if any repairs are needed or if there are any other issues that you should be concerned about. Even if the seller is someone you know and trust, there may be problems that they don't even know about.

If you are buying a used car in the Colorado Springs area, we can perform a thorough pre-purchase vehicle inspection at LightHouse Automotive. We look everything over from bumper to bumper and run specific tests to gauge the health of all the key systems and components. Then, we will provide a detailed inspection report that you and the seller can review before making a final deal. Since we are not part of the vehicle sale or purchase, our inspections are completely objective. We're only going to tell it like it is, so you can make a more informed decision as a buyer.

In Brian's case, the inspection came back very clean and he was able to buy the Subaru with no significant concerns.

"Rylan [Blair] the owner is a super reasonable guy and very trustworthy," Brian adds. "If I am in the area, I will likely go to LightHouse again with my new Subaru Outback!!!"

If you need a pre-purchase vehicle inspection or any other type of auto repair or maintenance services in Colorado Springs, call LightHouse Automotive today at (719) 465-0302 or schedule your appointment online using our convenient booking link.
