Reconditioned Used Cars at Thompson Lexus Willow Grove
What Is Vehicle Reconditioning?
When you purchase a reconditioned vehicle from Thompson Lexus Willow Grove, you can rest assured knowing you’re investing in a vehicle that has been through multiple inspections, both mechanically and cosmetically. Our reconditioned vehicles have passed not only a state inspection and meet factory specifications, but also meet our standards.
Reconditioning vs. Detailing
What is the difference between a reconditioned vehicle and a vehicle that has been detailed? The most notable difference is that a reconditioned vehicle has gone through a mechanical inspection where repairs have been made, fluids have been checked and changed if needed, and it passes a state inspection. A detailed vehicle, on the other hand, has only been thoroughly cleaned, without any repairs made.
What is the Vehicle Reconditioning Process Like at Thompson Lexus Willow Grove?
Thompson Lexus Willow Grove follows a three-phase reconditioning process that covers every inch of the vehicle.
1. Walk-around Inspection
When we get a pre-owned vehicle at Thompson Lexus Willow Grove, the first thing that happens is a basic walk-around inspection where our Pre-Owned Sales Manager looks for any visible damage, both on the interior and the exterior. Anything the manager finds is passed along to our service team, where the real work begins.
2. Technician Inspection and Repair
Once the vehicle is handed off to our service center, one of our Lexus Certified Technicians will comb through the vehicle and repair or replace anything that doesn't meet our Thompson standards. Once all repairs have been made, our technicians will perform a final inspection and oil change before sending it off to Thompson Detail Center for its final makeover.
3. Thompson Detail Center
The team at Thompson Detail Center takes our repaired pre-owned vehicles and performs a full interior and exterior detail, bringing back their once-new shine. But the team doesnt stop there. Theyll also include any bumper repair, paint correction, leather refinishing, or wheel refinishing. Once the vehicle is fully detailed and looking like new again, its back to the dealership for a final inspection before being parked on our lot and made available to customers.
