The Peace of Mind That Comes with Buying a Certified Pre-Owned Vehicle

The Stringent 172 Point Inspection Process 

When you choose a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle at Woody Buick GMC of Gurnee, you are getting a car that has met the highest standards of quality. Each vehicle must pass a rigorous 172-point inspection performed by factory-trained technicians. This process covers everything from the engine and drivetrain to the interior condition and safety systems. If a component does not meet our strict requirements, it is reconditioned or replaced using genuine OEM parts. This ensures that the vehicle looks and drives like it just rolled off the assembly line. It removes the guesswork often associated with buying a used car and gives you the confidence you deserve.

Extended Warranty Coverage and Roadside Assistance 

One of the primary advantages of the CPO program is the additional warranty coverage it provides. Every certified vehicle comes with a 6 Year or 100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty and a 12 Month or 12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty. This level of coverage is rarely found with standard used cars. Additionally, you receive 24-hour roadside assistance for the duration of your powertrain warranty. Whether you have a flat tire or need a jump start while driving through Gurnee, help is just a phone call away. This comprehensive support system is designed to provide you with total peace of mind for years to come.

Scheduled Maintenance Programs and Vehicle History Reports 

Maintenance is key to the longevity of any vehicle. As part of the CPO program, you are eligible for the Scheduled Maintenance Program, which includes two maintenance visits for services like oil changes and tire rotations. We also provide a free CARFAX Vehicle History Report for every certified car in our used vehicle specials inventory. This report details previous ownership, service records, and any reported accidents. Knowing your vehicle’s full history allows you to make an informed decision and feel secure in your purchase.

Exceptional Value and Modern Features 

Choosing a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle allows you to enjoy the latest technology and premium features at a more affordable price point. Many of our CPO models include advanced amenities such as a Touchscreen infotainment system, Wi-Fi hotspot capability, and driver-assistance safety tech. You can drive a high-end GMC or Buick model with all the bells and whistles while staying within your budget.
