Certified by Volvo vs. Used Volvo Vehicles

To understand what the Volvo CPO program offers, think about the benefits of new and used vehicles. Naturally, you may think that every single component inside a new car is up to factory spec and that a warranty and benefits like roadside assistance guarantee the quality.

With a used car, you get a much wider selection and a lower price to boot. The ideal choice would be a combination of the factory-spec quality of a new car with the price and selection that used cars offer. That's what a Volvo CPO vehicle gives you.

The Certified by Volvo Criteria

Let's say a used Volvo vehicle enters our inventory in San Antonio, TX. The first step is to check that she meets a couple of quality standards. The first is that a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report must show that the vehicle has a clean, non-branded title. The second is that the vehicle must have under 80,000 miles on the clock. Next up is a rigorous inspection by our factory-trained Volvo technicians.

The Certified by Volvo Inspection

With over 170 components and areas subject to intense scrutiny, a Volvo vehicle at our dealership near Alamo Heights begins to fulfill that "factory-spec" part of the deal. Thoroughness is key, and we even check the tire tread depth in several separate areas. Exterior components like the paint, frame, lights, grille, and more are included. So are interior points like the seats, sunroof, windows, doors, trim, and more.

The powertrain and many mechanical systems, including the engine, transmission, steering, and suspension, are also pored over with meticulous detail. Above all, essential safety features like the brakes, airbags, seatbelts, mirrors, and more are included, along with advanced safety features including the Blind Spot Information System (BLIS)™.

A road test seals the deal, and anything on the list that's not up-to-spec is reconditioned with genuine parts and quality service from our technicians. Once complete, that CPO Volvo S60 for sale will be comparable in quality to a new Volvo S60 for sale.

The Volvo Certified Pre-owned Warranty

Another comparable part is the warranty-related Volvo CPO coverage offered. At a glance, this warranty offers factory-backed coverage on thousands of components from the steering to the air conditioning, and it lasts for five years and unlimited miles.¹ It can be upgraded to 10 years, has a $0 deductible on covered warranty-related visits, is transferable to subsequent owners, and offers protection via the CARFAX® Buyback Guarantee® under certain conditions.

Of course, this all includes access to Volvo genuine service for repair and service work as high-quality as the vehicle.

The Volvo Certified Pre-owned Benefits

The Certified by Volvo benefits roll on. The first one is 24/7/365 complimentary access to Volvo Roadside Assistance for the duration of warranty coverage. This benefit includes roadside services like fuel delivery, jump-starts, and flat tire changes. It also includes emergency towing to the nearest authorized Volvo dealership, emergency lockout service, and trip interruption coverage.

More benefits include rental car reimbursement, towing coverage, a three-month trial of the SiriusXM® All Access package, and a complimentary one-year subscription to the Volvo Cars app.
