What makes a Newton Certified Pre-Owned Car different from a used car?

We know there are a lot of options when considering a vehicle purchase. New, used, certified pre-owned–it can get a little confusing. For most people, the most important piece of the car-buying puzzle is price, right? You want to know you are getting the best deal. At Newton Chevrolet GMC, we want you to get the best deal as well the best experience possible.

However, there’s more than just price & experience involved in your deal. The vehicle itself must be in the best condition possible, especially used or pre-owned vehicles. Keep reading for more information on how we re-condition our Newton Certified Pre-Owned vehicles.

What work goes into a Newton Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle?

The bottom line of every certified pre-owned vehicle is the 170-point inspection, ensuring that every inch of the car is inspected. If repairs are needed, we will take care of these so that you don’t have to.

The following (and more!) are covered in the 170-point inspection:

• Air Bags
• Seat Belts
• Unibody/Frame
• Tires and Wheels
• Engine/Fuel
• Electrical System
• Suspension/Steering
• Road Test

During this inspection, we decide what needs to be repaired.

For example, if the tire treads are extremely worn down, we will go ahead and put new tires on the vehicle. Or if the brakes are due for service, we’ll take care of it. This is where value is added to a certified pre-owned vehicle. Because we’re taking care of services that you won’t have to take care of in the next 3, 6, or even 12 months– so that you don’t immediately have service bills on top of your purchase!

During your visit with us, we will go over all of these details with you to make sure you know what work was needed and how we took care of the vehicle Please note that we do our best, but we do not claim perfection or that a vehicle will never have problems. Again, we will be very transparent up front about any issues we saw and how we repaired or fixed them. Don’t hesitate to ask us questions! That’s what our team is here for.
