There are many great reasons to purchase a certified pre owned Honda. Some of these benefits can include a cheaper price, a good extended warranty, and the option to purchase an upgraded model instead of a basic new model. Many consumers can be concerned with not knowing where the vehicle has been they should know they can with Car Fax! Not only is the vehicle's history track-able through Car Fax but there is a rigorous certification process as well.
The Honda certification process is a 150 point inspection that allows our technicians to challenge the quality of a Honda for resale purposes. Below are the certification standards and car fax information from Honda's website for you to review!
Certification Standards
Why you should choose a Honda Certified Used Car
Every Honda is a product of innovative engineering and quality manufacturing. And only well-maintained Honda models that are less than six years old and have a maximum of 80,000 miles are eligible for certification. The certification process includes:
? An exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection, performed by the dealer, to ensure that each vehicle meets Honda Certified Used Cars standards
? Honda-trained technicians scrutinize all major vehicle systems, including brakes, engine, drivetrain, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system and vehicle interior and exterior
? Dealer technicians recondition any component that does not meet our standards
? Any component that cannot be reconditioned is replaced with Genuine Honda parts
? Up-to-date scheduled maintenance services
