Reasons to Buy Certified
- Warranty provided with Certification is backed by the manufacturer. Honda will stand behind its product.
- Only a factory trained mechanic performs the inspection and all maintance work on the vehicle. If our trained technicians cannot fix any issues it is listed as uncertifiable.
- Most extended service contracts purchased from non-manufactured dealers often obligate the customer to pay for repairs and reimbursement after an underwriter's inspection.
- Our inspection standards require manuals and documentation to be provided with Certified Vehicles.
- All VIN plates are present on the vehicle and VIN numbers run to make sure all applicable recall or campaign repairs have been done.
- The vehicle can only have a minimum amount of replacement items needed.
- Exterior, interior, under the hood and under the vehicle inspections are done to check for unacceptable aftermarket modifications.
- Most of our customers are returning customers. Being the #1 volume dealer in San Diego brings many of our vehicles back. This allows us to not only certify these vehicles, but also service them throughout their ownership

Every Honda Certified Used Car goes through our certification process to make sure it lives up to Honda's high standards. And only well-maintained Honda vehicles are eligible for certification, a process that includes:
- An exhaustive 150-point mechanical and appearance inspection, performed by the dealer technician, in which all major vehicles systems are scrutinized including brakes, engine, drivetrain, steering, suspension, tires, wheels, exhaust system and vehicle interior and exterior.
- Honda-trained technicians reconditioning any component that does not meet our standards, or replace it with Genuine Honda parts. All scheduled maintenance services are brought up-to-date.
- A free CARFAX Vehicle History report to assure that your Honda Certified Used Car does not contain any DMV-reported incidents such as salvage, fire, flood damage, odometer problems or lemon history.
