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.

An ounce of prevention is better than a pound of cure describes preventative maintenance perfectly. Your Honda maintenance schedule ensures parts that will reach the end of their working life are inexpensively replaced before they fail and cause costly problems. As your Honda dealership, we want to give you some examples of the types of maintenance we provide.

Examples of Preventative Maintenance Available at Your Honda Dealership

Oil Replacement

Oil is essential for your engine as it allows it to work effectively. The oil lubricates and cools countless components, reducing wear and tear so they don’t require early replacement. Oil also contains specialized additives that keep the engine clean, break down harmful engine blockages, and prevent rust. On average, oil needs replacement every 7,500 to 10,000 miles.

Older oil thickens, becoming slower and less effective due to accumulating dirt and debris from the engine. It can block the oil filter, preventing oil circulation and causing engine damage. Our technicians prevent these issues by draining and replacing the old oil and installing a new oil filter to allow the oil to flow smoothly and freely.
