Why Choose a GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

A GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is a used vehicle that has been brought back to GM standards through inspections, reconditioning, and a range of added benefits — all at a price lower than a new vehicle, but with far more protection than what is typically available in the used-car market.

The program covers Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC vehicles, meaning that whether you're interested in a Silverado, Terrain, Envision, or Equinox, you can benefit from the same protections and quality standards.

Here’s what the program includes.

1. A 150+ Point Inspection

Before reaching our showroom, every GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle undergoes a rigorous inspection performed by a qualified technician. When you see one of these vehicles on our lot, it has already passed an extensive inspection covering more than 150 points.

This inspection evaluates all major components, including the powertrain, brakes, suspension, interior instruments and controls, bodywork, trim, headlights and lighting systems, tires, wheels, and multiple road tests.

If a vehicle does not meet GM’s strict standards, it is repaired using genuine GM parts or the necessary components are replaced before it can qualify for certification. In other words, every certified vehicle has already passed through a thorough quality-control process before you see it.

2. Manufacturer-Backed Warranty Coverage

All GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicles are sold with manufacturer-backed warranty coverage. In Quebec, certified vehicles that are less than six years old and have fewer than 100,000 km are covered for 6 months or 10,000 km, whichever comes first.

This coverage can also be extended or enhanced based on your needs and budget. It is transferable to the next owner if you sell the vehicle, which can help increase its resale value.

3. A Complete Vehicle History Report Included

Every GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle comes with a complete vehicle history report detailing its maintenance history, ownership records, and confirming that it has not been involved in a major accident.

Transparency is an essential part of the certification process, allowing you to make an informed decision with confidence.

4. 24-Hour Roadside Assistance

You are covered by 24/7 roadside assistance for a minimum of 3 months or 5,000 km, whichever comes first.

Coverage also includes trip interruption reimbursement if your vehicle becomes disabled more than 150 km from your home, helping to minimize the inconvenience of unexpected breakdowns while traveling.

5. Vehicle Exchange Privilege

If, for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your GM Certified Pre-Owned vehicle, you may exchange it within the first 30 days or 2,500 kilometres, whichever comes first.

This is one of the most distinctive benefits of the GM Certified Pre-Owned program and one of the most generous in the industry.

You can drive away knowing that if the vehicle doesn’t fit your lifestyle or expectations once you start using it every day, you have a real safety net.
