Honda Certified Information
With a solid reputation for styling, performance, safety and value, a Honda Certified Used Car is truly a great opportunity.
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.

Accolades
IntelliChoice, a leading provider of automotive information to consumers, has named Honda's Certified Used Cars Program "Best in Class" for the fourth year in a row.
"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.
