What is GM Certified?

It's the reliability of new and the affordability of used

110+ Point Inspection

Everything from the exhaust system to cup holders is inspected and reconditioned, if necessary. If the vehicle doesn't pass, we don't certify it. Period. (See Chart Below For Details)

24-Hour Roadside Assistance

We'll help change a flat tire, fill a gas tank and help get you moving again. Around the clock and around the country, your GM Certified Used Vehicle comes with helping hands.

3-Day/150-Mile Satisfaction Guarantee

Take a few days and a few miles to get comfortable with your new GM Certified Used Vehicle. If you're not sure, bring it back.

Market-Based Pricing

GM Certified Used Vehicles are priced at current market value. The price is posted clearly on the window sticker. No games. Just honest value for your money.

Comprehensive Limited Warranty

A 3-month/3,000-mile limited warranty protects you beginning the minute you leave our lot. It's not just protection for your car, but for your peace of mind. See your dealer for details. 

Built and Backed by GM

GM Certified Used Vehicles are 2002 or newer, with less than 60,000 miles. They're available at select GM dealers. They're vehicles that met our tough standards when we first built them. Now they have to again, or they won't be Certified.

 The GM family of vehicles also includes Cadillac Certified Pre-Owned, Saab Certified Pre-Owned, and Used Cars from Saturn.
