Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet Vehicle FAQs
Looking for a vehicle that delivers quality, dependability, and great value? A Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet may be the answer. At Jim Taylor Chevrolet of Rayville, LA, we’ve included some of the most common questions to help you better understand the benefits of a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet.
What is a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet?
A Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet is a previously owned vehicle that has undergone an intensive inspection process to Chevrolet’s exacting standards. The vehicles are reconditioned and sold with a limited warranty, giving you confidence in the purchase decision. Essentially, a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet is as close to new as you can get without paying the new-vehicle price.
Why Buy a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet?
Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet has certain benefits:
- Rigorous Inspection Process: Each vehicle is put under a strict 172-point inspection by certified Chevrolet technicians. From tires to the engine, each part of the vehicle is checked to meet quality requirements.
- Limited Warranty for Added Protection: You receive a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain limited warranty with a Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet. This warranty covers most major components, giving you added peace of mind on the road.
- Roadside Assistance: You’ll also be provided with 24/7 roadside assistance, which will help you with unexpected breakdowns like flat tires or jump-starting your battery. This is one less concern when you drive off the dealership.
- Vehicle History Report: Each Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet comes with a detailed vehicle history report to ensure the vehicle has never been in a major crash or incurred significant damage.
Certified Pre-Owned vs. Regular Pre-Owned Vehicles
Both Certified Pre-Owned and standard pre-owned vehicles offer great value, yet Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet vehicles come with added peace of mind. Here’s how it differs in a nutshell:
Certified Pre-Owned Chevrolet:

- Condition: The vehicle must pass the 172-point inspection, which covers everything from the engine and transmission to the interior and exterior.

If any issues are found, they are repaired in order to meet Chevrolet’s high standards.
