Commonly Asked Questions

What is a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

Although Certified Pre-Owned vehicles have had prior owners, these have also undergone validation from the manufacturer. Only cars that undergo a comprehensive qualifying and reconditioning process can rightfully bear the Certified Pre-Owned label. To regain the level of comfort and quality associated with buying a new car, Certified Pre-Owned vehicles typically offer buyers a variety of advantages, such as restored warranties, roadside assistance, and additional perks.

How Does a Car Qualify for the Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Program?

To qualify for the Honda Certified Pre-Owned program, a vehicle must be less than ten years old and successfully complete an 182-point inspection, along with any necessary repairs and upgrades. Any issues identified during the inspection will be addressed using factory parts.

What Are the Benefits of Purchasing a Honda Certified Pre-Owned Model?

Alongside the advantages of buying pre-owned vehicles, such as significant savings and reduced depreciation rates, there are specific benefits to Certified Pre-Owned Honda vehicles. These include:

  • 24-Hour Roadside Assistance
  • Free Oil Changes
  • Reimbursement for Limited Trip Interruptions
  • Extensive Warranty Coverage
  • 3-Day Exchange Policy
  • Concierge Service

Are There Different Certified Pre-Owned Levels?

There are three distinct levels of Honda Certified Pre-Owned models available to choose from.

The entry-level option, HondaTrue Used, covers vehicles made from 2012 to 2022 and offers Powertrain and Non-Powertrain coverage for 100 days or 5,000 miles. The HondaTrue Certified option requires vehicles manufactured between 2017 and 2022 with less than 80,000 miles and provides Powertrain coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles.

The highest level is the HondaTrue Certified+ program, which includes 2021 to 2022 models with under 80,000 miles. This program offers Powertrain coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles, and Non-Powertrain coverage for five years, or 86,000 miles.

How Is a Certified Pre-Owned Honda Different from a Regular Used Car?

Regular pre-owned cars come with no assurances. Honda's certified pre-owned vehicles go through strict testing. They come with manufacturer-backed warranties. This gives buyers peace of mind. If you seek dependability without the guesswork, then a certified pre-owned vehicle is the right choice.
