What Is Toyota's Certified Pre-Owned Program?

Toyota is well known to produce vehicles that can last a lifetime. Built with high quality parts and components that are widely available and inexpensive to replace, purchasing a pre-owned Toyota is one of the smartest car buying decisions you’ll ever make. Toyota’s Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) Vehicle program sets the industry standard for what a quality used car should be.

For a used car, truck, SUV, or minivan to receive Certified Pre-Owned status, it must be less than 6 years old, and pass a meticulous inspection test.

CarProof™ Vehicle History Report

First, a prospective Toyota CPO vehicle receives a full CarProof Vehicle History Report, thoroughly detailing the complete history of the vehicle. CarProof is a Canadian vehicle history reporting service created in 2000 to provide Canadian consumers with the most current, accurate vehicle information available. CarProof is directly connected to its data sources to provide information and vehicle updates in real time. Access to this “live” data means that the report on your vehicle is completely up to date and accurate. With a CarProof report, you will know exactly what has happened to your vehicle, including any documented service history, accident reports, liens, registrations, import requests, stolen vehicle reports, and so on.

Rigorous 160-Point Quality Assurance Inspection

Prior to sale, the vehicle is required to be fully reconditioned by Toyota factory trained technicians. Only the best Toyota’s receive the stamp of approval. This inspection assesses the condition of every mechanical component of the vehicle from bumper to bumper, as well as the appearance of both the exterior and interior. Toyota has high requirements for vehicles to be able to pass this inspection test to ensure that all CPO vehicles meet a minimum standard for quality.

Extensive Mechanical & Appearance Reconditioning

After passing the inspection test and being given “certified” status as a pre-owned vehicle, our licensed Toyota technicians then perform comprehensive mechanical maintenance and appearance reconditioning on it to make it look and operate as good as new. The mechanical servicing includes every part and component from bumper to bumper to make sure the vehicle is up to date on its maintenance schedule. The appearance reconditioning is done inside and out, from the paint job, the windows, the seat material, floor mats, and so on.
