What is Certified Pre‑Owned? Few things in life match the feel of a new car: the fresh scent of brand-new upholstery, the precise steering, and that thunk when the door closes. Of course, everything that is nice in life comes at a price. But if you'd rather skip the brand-new car payment part, then check out the certified pre-owned program at your Honda dealership. The benefits of certified pre-owned vehicles go beyond just cost savings, though. Let's take a closer look. 1. You're Getting Top-of-the-Line Quality For a pre-owned vehicle to earn that Honda Certified label, it must meet certain age and mileage requirements. As of 2025, Honda requires that vehicles eligible for certification be within six model years, have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer, and be at least 12 months old or have been driven at least 12,000 miles since it was first put on the road. And that's just the beginning. Next comes an 182-point inspection process, where every detail is checked, ranging from the big things like the engine and brakes to the little stuff, like the condition of the upholstery and whether the sunglasses holder opens and closes just right. Note that Honda's multipoint inspection is one of the most comprehensive in the business, surpassing Volkswagen's 100, Toyota's 160, Mazda's 160, and Chevy's 172. more 2. Certified Pre‑Owned Warranty The strict selection criteria and the quality of work put into the reconditioning process allow Honda to provide powertrain coverage for seven years or 100,000 miles, along with non-powertrain coverage for two extra years or up to 100,000 miles. And here's a fact: the powertrain coverage on a CPO actually outlasts that of a new car! 3. The Proof Is in the Paperwork When you buy a CPO, you'll get a detailed downloadable report that lists all the inspections and repairs that the car has undergone. On top of that, you'll receive a CARFAX report, which gives you the full history of the vehicle, including any accidents, service records, and ownership history. 4. Plenty of Extra Certified Pre‑Owned Perks Honda's thrown in a few goodies to sweeten the deal. You'll receive roadside assistance for the length of the limited warranty, two free oil changes within the first year, trip interruption benefits, and a trial run of SiriusXM. There's also a three-day exchange policy, so if you're not totally sold on your CPO Honda, you can swap it for another in the dealer's inventory. This is Honda's way of ensuring you're covered long after you've driven off the lot. On the hunt for a Certified Pre‑Owned car?

Our Washington summers aren't as hot as many other states, but there are days when you need your Air conditioning. If your AC isn't regularly serviced, problems can develop, ranging from unwanted guests in the air ducts to leaking refrigerant. As your Honda dealer, we want to tell you a few signs you'll need to visit us for AC maintenance. Signs You Need Air Conditioning Maintenance Refrigerant Leak This is one of the most common AC problems. Refrigerant is essential for your AC as it removes water from the air and cools it before it's blown into your cabin. This gas is highly pressurized, and a small leak anywhere in the AC system can cause a rapid loss of refrigerant. If this happens, your AC will steadily become warmer, regardless of its setting. You can't find a leak just by looking for it, as the gas vaporizes almost instantly in contact with the outside air. We add a UV dye to your AC and then monitor the dye's progress through the system using a UV light. This allows our technicians to easily find the leak and repair it. Then, we'll refill your refrigerant, and your AC will become cold again. more Blocked Vents Your air conditioning has an external vent that draws air into the system for cooling and cabin vents that bring the cold air to you. The external vent is positioned below your windshield and can easily become blocked by leaves and other debris, limiting air available for cooling. We can quickly fix this problem by clearing the vents, and airflow will increase. Dirt, dust, leaves, and other debris drawn in with the air can block the internal vents. This detritus accumulates, restricting airflow into the cabin and producing strange rusting or rattling noises as it moves around. This issue is also quick to fix, as we'll clear any duct blockages. Musty Air Conditioning Smell If you get a musty, earthy smell from the air conditioning, the system is infected with bacteria or mold. These organisms travel with the air and settle in the ducts. When your AC is off for several months over fall and winter, the dark ducts, lack of air movement, and traces of water provide the perfect breeding ground for these organisms. We fix this problem by adding a powerful cleaning solution to your AC, then switching it on and letting the solution blow through the system and remove these organisms. We'll also replace the cabin air filter, which removes any remaining dirt and pollen from the air before it enters your cabin. Our experts can rapidly fix any AC issue, and you'll have cold air again in no time. Contact us today at Honda Auto Center of Bellevue in Bellevue, WA.
