Used Hondas With Benefits

August 10th, 2011 by

If you have shopped for a used car you already know the process brings on a unique set of anxieties. Although quality, appearance, and cost play a big role in the decision, the concern comes from the unknown, what previous care was given, service history, any accidents, number of owners, you get the idea.

The Honda Certified Used Car program has blurred the lines between New and Used vehicles, removing the stigma attached to used cars. These days, our customers see certified cars more as an extension of new cars than used cars offering an affordable alternative without giving up the important features, quality and style they want.

Youā€™ll find that most manufactures offer some type of certified program for used vehicles, but this doesnā€™t mean that they are all the same. Youā€™ll want to compare the major differences that youā€™ll find in the warranty, inspection list, and acceptable vehicle condition. See why this is not just another certified program.

Honda Certified Qualifications
Only well maintained Honda models that are less than six years old and have a minimum of 80,000 miles are eligible for certification.

Our Honda-trained technicians scrutinize all major vehicle systems, including brakes, engine, drivetrain, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system and vehicle interior and exterior.
Service reconditions any component that does not meet our standards.
Any component that cannot be reconditioned is replaced with Genuine Honda parts.
Then we perform an up-to-date scheduled maintenance service.
