1. Certification Standards
Our standards are high. So are the rewards.
Choosing a car is one of the most important decisions you can make, because safety counts. That’s why every Honda Certified Used Car goes through our rigorous 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 vehicle systems are scrutinized • Replacement or reconditioning of any component that does not meet our standards by Honda-trained technicians. Replacements are made 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.
2. 150- Point Inspection
A 150-point inspection so you're 150% confident.
