Each Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle has been meticulously inspected by licensed mechanics before it reaches the sales floor. During the inspection process, each vehicle must pass a minimum of 150 points, ensuring that the vehicle is in excellent condition inside and out. Plus, regular maintenance is performed and faulty components are repaired or replaced.

We've broken down a list of the 5 pillars that make up the Certified Pre Owned advantage

1. 150 POINT INSPECTION

A GM trained technician performs the following 150+ point inspection on every Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle. The 150 points are spread out over 7 sections, ensuring the entire vehicle is properly reviewed both inside and out:

• Engine
• Instrumentation and interior components
• Pre-Test Drive Inspection
• The Test Drive
• Service Bay Inspection
• Appearance
• Final Inspections

2. MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY

When shopping for a used vehicle, it's important to understand who's providing the warranty coverage to the vehicle you're considering. All Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with warranty coverage backed by the manufacturer. A manufacturer's warranty ensures your vehicle will be serviced by qualified technicians who use factory-approved parts. This isn't always the case with third party aftermarket warranties sometimes offered in the used car industry.

All Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles feature a minimum of 3 months or 5,000 kilometres (whichever comes first) Used Vehicle Limited Warranty. And that's standard. If your budget permits, you can extend or upgrade to an even more comprehensive Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Protection Plan. You'll also appreciate the convenience of being able to transfer any existing warranties to a new owner, should you ever decide to sell your Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle.

For complete coverage details see your General Motors Certified Pre-Owned Dealer.

3. 24-HOUR ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE

All Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles feature a minimum 3 months or 5,000 kilometres (whichever comes first) of 24-hour roadside assistance. That includes trip interruption coverage.

To receive Roadside Assistance, simply call 1 800 268 6800 and a service operator will be dispatched to the scene. If your vehicle can't be repaired onsite, it will be towed to the nearest GM Dealership or GM authorized repair facility. If you need to pull your vehicle out of mud or snow, you're covered for winching service, up to $100 per occurrence.

If your vehicle is disabled and you are a minimum of 250 km from home, a Trip Interruption reimbursement allowance will be provided to help pay for:

• Reasonable expenses (meals and lodging) up to a maximum of $195 per day and/or
• Alternate transportation up to a combined maximum of $500 per incident
