What It Is A 'Certified Pre-Owned' Vehicle?

At Wallace Chevrolet, we take pride in delivering the highest-quality pre-owned vehicles to our customers. We hand select out pre-owned inventory in order to find the best-maintained, most reliable and accident-free vehicles.

Our Certified Pre-Owned Seal

As a result, many of the vehicles in our pre-owned inventory come with a guarantee, a genuine certification that provides peace of mind behind the wheel. And as you browse our inventory, both in store and online, you’ll notice the ‘Certified Pre-Owned’ (CPO) seal affixed in plain sight.

The seal indicates that the vehicle comes with a four-fold guarantee, which includes:

  • A 150+ point inspection,
  • A manufacturer-backed warranty
  • 24 hour roadside assistance
  • And even an exchange privilege!

 150+ Point Inspection

Each GM CPO vehicle is inspected by our team of highly-trained, licensed mechanics before reaching the sales department.  During this process, each vehicle must pass an inspection that consists of at least 150-points.  This inspection ensures each of our CPO vehicle is in an excellent physical, and road-worthy condition. In addition, any outstanding regular maintenance is performed, and faulty components are either repaired or replaced.

 Manufacturer-Backed Warranty

When shopping for a used vehicle, it’s important to understand who’s providing warranty coverage.  With a GM Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle,  you’ll benefit from our Used Vehicle Limited Warranty from one of the most trusted warranty providers that lasts a minimum of 3 months, or 5,000km (whichever comes first).  Plus, you can also extend or upgrade the Used Vehicle Limited Warranty to a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle Protection Plan.

 24- Hour Roadside Assistance

Everyone of our GM CPO vehicles feature a 24-hour roadside assistance program that lasts for a minimum of 3 months, or 5,000km (whichever comes first).  This roadside assistance program also provides a trip interruption coverage if your vehicle is disabled, and you are a minimum of 250km away from home.

 Vehicle Exchange Privilege

When you’re satisfied, we’re satisfied.  That’s why every GM CPO vehicle comes with a vehicle exchange privilege, which means you may exchange your vehicle within the first 30 days or 2,500km (whichever comes first) if you are unsatisfied with it.
