Subaru pre-purchase inspection Invercargill.

[loner]

Hi Southies,

Where's the best place to get a really thorough pre-purchase inspection of a Subaru in Invercargill?

Thanks.

You getting my twin?

almost... it currently has a v5 front bumper, which clearly has to go

VTNZ or AA I guess, for a generic inspection. Unsure if you are after a specialist Subaru place or what?

[loner]

A Subaru specialist would be preferable... or at least a mechanic that will be very thorough, more than the

AA or VTNZ.

K&D Automotive on Kelvin Street. Got them to do a chunk of work on my old legacy when I lived down there and always had evo's, rx7's, wrx's etc being worked on so it looks like a lot of other people use them. Would be worth a yarn anyway, really nice people.

+1 actually. Recently started using them as my mechanic and they seem pretty good.

I'm not from down south, but I cannot tell you enough to stay AWAY from VTNZ. I did a pre-purchase inspection from them and the car (still currently driving) was a lemon. Head gasket blown yet, still got the big green tick from them (Pukekohe VTNZ). I can't say anything about AA, but from my experience, go for a smaller, less generic place.

I believe my Fair Go appearance is still available online?

All the best.

How did you get on with this?

Didn't bother... from the vir it looked like it had been written off at some point.
