Certified Commitment to Quality
The certification process starts with a careful selection. Not all vehicles qualify. Only well-maintained late-model Acura vehicles are even considered. Each "candidate" must then pass a comprehensive 150-point inspection and a Vehicle History Report review to become a Certified Pre-Owned Acura. Virtually every mechanical system - from the engine to the door locks - is checked and serviced to meet stringent specifications. A thorough appearance inspection scrutinizes fit and finish, inside and out.
