Why buy Honda Certified?

Warranty

Every Honda Certified Used Car comes with peace of mind: one of the most extensive used-car warranties in the business. So you can drive off the lot feeling confident about your purchase.

These warranties cover:
Major engine and transmission components, except for standard maintenance items, body glass and interior.

The repair or replacement of any covered part that is defective in material or workmanship under normal use. With a $0 deductible.

Powertrain coverage for 7-years/100,000-miles (whichever comes first) from the vehicle's original in-service date.

Non-Powertrain coverage for 12-month/12,000-miles (whichever comes first) from the original warranty expiration date, or if the original warranty has expired, from the Honda Certified Used Cars purchase date.

Inspection

Every Honda Certified Used Car goes through our certification process to make sure it lives up to Honda's high standards. And only well-maintained Honda vehicles are eligible for certification, a process that includes:


An exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection, performed by the dealer technician, in which all major vehicles systems are scrutinized, including brakes, engine, drivetrain, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system and vehicle interior and exterior.

A process where Honda-trained technicians recondition any component that does not meet our standards, or replace it with Genuine Honda parts.

All scheduled maintenance services are brought up-to-date.

A free CARFAX Vehicle History report to assure that your Honda Certified Used Car does not contain any DMV-reported incidents such as salvage, fire, flood damage, odometer problems or lemon history.

    Honda vehicles must be less than 6 years old

    Vehicle must have less than 80,000 miles

    Must pass a 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection by trained Honda technicians

    Honda Used Car Certified Warranty Coverage

    New Honda’s come with a 3-year or 36,000 mile warranty (which ever comes first).

    If the used vehicle purchased has less than 3/36, the remainder of the new vehicle warranty will apply.

    7-year or 100,000 mile powertrain warranty (which ever comes first), from the original in-service date. For example if the original (new) in-service date were exactly 5 years ago, there would be 2 years left on the powertrain warranty.

    Powertrain warranty covers engine, transmission and drive-train components.
    An additional 1-year or 12,000 mile non-powertrain equipment coverage from the date of the certified used car purchase.

    If the vehicle is below the 3-year or 36,000 miles, the non-powertrain equipment coverage is extended to 4 years of 48,000 miles. This warranty covers steering, suspension, electrical, heating and air, fuel system, switches, sensors and Honda equipped audio systems.
