When you're shopping for a pre-owned vehicle, what do you value most? For many drivers, it's confidence. Confidence that the car is reliable, that it's safe, and that you're making a smart investment. That's the entire purpose of the HondaTrue Certified program.

At Honda North, we want to show our customers in Butler, PA, exactly what goes into this process, so you can see why a certified pre-owned Honda offers peace of mind that a typical pre-owned vehicle simply can't match.

A Look Inside the HondaTrue Certification Process

The journey from a pre-owned vehicle to a HondaTrue Certified vehicle is designed to ensure quality and long-term reliability.

Eligibility and History

The process begins with a strict set of eligibility requirements. To even be considered for certification, a vehicle must be a recent model year and have a low mileage count. This ensures you’re starting with a modern vehicle with plenty of life left. Furthermore, every candidate must undergo a thorough background check, which includes a clean CARFAX® or AutoCheck® vehicle history report. This step verifies the vehicle's past and screens out any cars with major reported issues.

182-Point Inspection

After a car meets the initial eligibility rules, our Honda-trained technicians perform a detailed 182-point inspection. This is a complete, bumper-to-bumper check of the entire vehicle. Our experts examine all major parts, including the engine, transmission, brakes, and suspension. They also look over the electrical system and all interior features. The goal of this detailed review is to find and fix any potential issues long before the car is available for sale.

Fixes and Replacements with Genuine Honda Parts

If our technicians find any part that doesn't meet Honda's high standards, it is repaired or replaced. For this work, we only use genuine Honda parts. These parts are made specifically for Honda vehicles. This guarantees a perfect fit and helps maintain the car's original performance, safety, and reliability. Our goal is to restore the vehicle to a like-new condition.

Comprehensive Warranty Coverage

A valuable Honda warranty comes with every HondaTrue Certified vehicle. The 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty protects you from costly repairs of major components, including the engine, transmission, and drivetrain. Depending on the car's age, you also receive additional non-powertrain coverage. This provides a level of protection similar to a new car.

Added Ownership Benefits

The HondaTrue Certified program also includes valuable perks to make your ownership experience even better.

  • 24/7 Roadside Assistance: For the duration of your limited warranty, you are covered. This includes towing, battery jump-starts, fuel delivery, and trip-interruption benefits.
  • Complimentary Maintenance: Your purchase includes up to two complimentary oil changes within your first year of ownership, saving you money on essential routine service.
  • SiriusXM® Trial Subscription: Most HondaTrue Certified vehicles come with a 90-day trial subscription to SiriusXM® satellite radio, giving you access to commercial-free music, sports, and entertainment.
  • Concierge Service: You also get access to an exclusive concierge service, which can act as a personal assistant to help with things like booking travel reservations or event tickets.
