Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Program Explained

Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Program Explained

Far from your typical used car, Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vehicles offer an exceptional amount of value and ownership benefits. Better still, Chevrolet CPO models are required to undergo a meticulous inspection and reconditioning process before being made available for purchase. To help you gain a better understanding of the tremendous advantages that come from choosing a Chevrolet CPO vehicle, our team at Schumacher Chevrolet of Little Falls has assembled this in-depth Certified Pre-Owned Program guide. You'll quickly learn why more and more used car shoppers are choosing the value and peace of mind that comes from choosing a Chevrolet CPO vehicle.

Chevrolet CPO Inspection

Certified Pre-Owned Inspection & Reconditioning Process

Unlike your average used vehicle, Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are held to a higher standard than most. First, the vehicle in question must be less than 6 years old, have fewer than 75,000 miles, and have a clean title.

Next, these hand-chosen vehicles must pass an extremely thorough 172-point vehicle inspection, one of the most comprehensive in the industry. This inspection covers just about everything -- from the Air Conditioning to the shocks, right down to the floor mats and the underbody. A copy of this informative report will be included with your purchase. In addition, a free CARFAX® Vehicle History Report will also be included, helping you make sure the vehicle you purchase has a clean record. Only the best-of-the-best are able to earn the prestigious honor of becoming a Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned vehicle.

Powertrain & Bumper-to-Bumper Warranty Coverage

When you purchase a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Chevrolet, you're covered from the instant you drive off the lot to start enjoying your new car. All Chevy CPO vehicles come with two factory-backed auto warranties* that combine to provide remarkable coverage and long-lasting peace of mind. Let's take a closer look at exactly how these two warranties protect your vehicle.
