Test Drive a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle at Sheehy Auto Stores

Certified pre-owned vehicles are fantastic investments for anyone looking for a reliable used car. For a vehicle to become certified, it must pass a rigorous test conducted by an expert associated with the vehicle’s manufacturer. For example, a Mazda specialist must conduct the test for a used Mazda vehicle. With this test, the specialist will carefully inspect the vehicle inside and out. The powertrain is often checked off first as the vehicle must be reliable in order to be certified. The inspector will also note any damage beyond normal wear and tear on the body or inside the cabin. Features will be tested to ensure amenities work properly.

In addition, many used vehicles must be within a certain mileage and age range in order to be certified. For instance, a car with 50,000 miles and only 3 years old have much better odds than a vehicle that has 120,000 miles and is 10 years old. Specific requirements will depend on the manufacturer.

Finally, certified pre-owned vehicles will often come with a warranty covering qualifying repairs needed for the powertrain. You may also receive other benefits, such as roadside assistance or compensation. Benefits offered with certified pre-owned vehicles will again depend on the manufacturer.
