Honda Certification Standards

 

Our certification process includes an exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection to ensure that each vehicle meets the highest possible standards. Plus, all of our Certified Used Cars come with a 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty and a 12-month/12,000-mile non-powertrain warranty. With all this, it’s no wonder IntelliChoice® has named the Honda Certified Used Car Program “Best in its Class” for four years running. Dependability, quality and value. Make the smart choice, and find a Certified Honda that’s right for you.

 

 

Why is Honda’s Certified Used Cars Program the best in its class?

  • Every Honda built is a product of innovative engineering and quality manufacturing.
  • Only well-maintained recent-model Hondas are eligible for certification.
  • Our certification process includes an exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection to ensure that each vehicle meets the highest possible standards.
  • Honda-trained mechanics scrutinize all major vehicle systems, including brakes, engine and drivetrain, steering and suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system and vehicle interior and exterior. We replace any component that does not meet our stringent standards with Genuine Honda Parts, or restore it to “like-new” condition. We take pride in each step of our certification process so you’ll be completely satisfied with your Honda.

IntelliChoice, a leading provider of automotive information to consumers, has named Honda’s Certified Used Cars Program “Best in Class”.

“Honda has consistently stayed a step or two ahead of the competition by continuing to strengthen its program,” said IntelliChoice® president John Hammond in announcing its survey results. “Their actions speak volumes: Honda is committed to certified used cars and to the customers they serve.”IntelliChoice® worked with a team of ASE-certified instructors and technicians—automotive experts who make their living maintaining and repairing cars—to develop a standardized list of 141 items that should be inspected when certifying a used car. Manufacturer programs were then rated based on how well their inspection lists compared with the standard, as well as other factors. Among non-luxury nameplates, Honda came the closest to meeting–if not in some areas exceeding–the IntelliChoice® standard.

Only Honda models that are six-years old or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles can participate in Honda’s stringent certification exam. Ultimately, each vehicle must pass a comprehensive, 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection to be considered a Honda Certified Used Car.
