Most drivers have heard of certified pre-owned (CPO) vehicles, but many are confused by the term and think it is just a phrase invented by a clever marketer to describe a used car. But when you stop by your certified pre-owned Chevy dealer, you will find out that CPO is not just a fancy way of saying used car. At DePaula Chevy, we carry a vast inventory of CPO Chevy cars, trucks, and SUVs, giving you the ability to find the vehicle you want at a great price.
The Chevy CPO program is one of the most rewarding ways to get a pre-owned Chevrolet vehicle. In order to qualify as a CPO, a Chevy vehicle must be within the last six model years and have no more than 75,000 miles on its odometer. Once it meets these criteria, the Chevy will undergo a comprehensive 172-point vehicle inspection, which includes a reconditioning process where any and all model recalls are addressed. In this way, DePaula Chevrolet will offer you a CPO Chevy vehicle that is almost as good as new.
The Chevy CPO program goes above and beyond this, offering you exceptional warranty coverage as well as other benefits. If the CPO vehicle has a satellite radio and OnStar capability, you will receive a 3-month trial of SiriusXM All Access and OnStar with automatic crash response, advanced diagnostics, roadside assistance, and turn-by-turn navigation.
Want more? Your CPO Chevy includes two complimentary maintenance visits at our service center. This will help you keep your vehicle running smoothly. Also, you will get a free CARFAX vehicle history report with your CPO Chevy so you can see important information such as a clear title and that the vehicle has not been involved in a major collision. In this way, the entire process of acquiring a CPO Chevy is fully transparent.

As an authorized Chevy dealership, we can help you find the exact Chevy model you desire, whether it is a full-size SUV like the Suburban, a Chevy Silverado 1500 pickup truck, or a mid-engine Chevy Corvette sports car.

Only authorized Chevy dealers like DePaula Chevrolet are allowed to participate in the Chevy CPO program. This means that you cannot find a Chevy CPO vehicle just anywhere.

One of the biggest issues people have when they buy a used car is that the model they are purchasing is either no longer under warranty or about to come off the warranty. What this means to you is that you become solely responsible for the cost of repairs to your used car. When you buy a CPO Chevy model, you don’t have this concern as it comes with two great warranties from Chevrolet.
Every CPO Chevy has a 6-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty. This means that the engine, transmission, and drive system on your CPO Chevy is covered for the duration of your ownership of your vehicle. This will cover things like the transfer case on a four-wheel drivetrain, the engine block and turbocharger, and all the component parts of each of these systems. The powertrain can often be the costliest thing to repair in your vehicle, so you have the peace of mind knowing that if anything goes wrong during the duration of your warranty, Chevy has you covered.
Chevrolet also includes a 12-month/12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper limited warranty with every CPO Chevy. This is an extension to the new car warranty that originally came with the vehicle in question, so if there is any time or mileage left on the original warranty, this will extend it 12-months and 12,000 miles into the future beyond such warranty. This covers almost anything that can happen to your CPO Chevy unless the damage was due to such things as collision, theft, fire, improper maintenance, and use of poor-quality fuel.
One of the best things about these two warranties is that they have no deductibles, so if it is covered, then Chevy has you covered 100%. In addition, if you decide to sell your CPO Chevy, any remaining portion of the warranties is transferable to the new owner. You also will get 24-hour roadside assistance and courtesy transportation for the duration of the powertrain warranty that comes with your CPO Chevy. This means that you will be able to call for assistance wherever you and your vehicle might be.
Sometimes, you might buy a vehicle and then decide after a couple of days that it is just not the right model for you. This is why Chevrolet offers a vehicle exchange program with its CPO vehicles. If you decide after 3-days or 150-miles that the CPO Chevy you bought is just not right for you, you can bring it back and exchange it for another CPO Chevy model. Think of this like an extended test drive, allowing you to really get a feel for the CPO Chevy you just bought. Let’s face it; you can’t always tell much about a car in a ten-minute test drive. The vehicle exchange program really lets you get to know the CPO Chevy you just purchased from our dealership.
Once you have bought your CPO Chevy, you are going to want to make sure to maintain it running right for your years of ownership. You can take care of this by visiting our service center on a regular basis. Our team of trained technicians at DePaula Chevrolet can help you with everything from routine oil changes and tire rotations to major repairs to your brakes and transmission. Every technician on our staff is skilled at repairing Chevy vehicles, whether you bring in a CPO Chevy truck, sedan, SUV, or sports car. In addition, by changing your oil on a regular basis, you will help keep your CPO Chevy running smoothly, adding years to its vehicle life. Simple maintenance like this will help you avoid major repairs.
At DePaula Chevrolet, we use only General Motors parts. This means that you will be replacing any worn-out parts with genuine ones that are the exact same as the ones being replaced. This ensures that there will not be any problems with the performance of the various features on your CPO Chevy vehicle. Stop by our service and parts department to see our latest offers, which change from time to time, but will make servicing your CPO Chevy more affordable than ever.
Buying a CPO Chevy gives you so many great benefits. You will get a quality vehicle that has been inspected and reconditioned, with a CARFAX vehicle history report that shows that the entire process will be transparent. You also get two complimentary service visits and a pair of warranties that provide extended coverage for your CPO Chevy, something that doesn’t come with a regular used car. These warranties also come with 24-hour roadside assistance and courtesy transportation, so you won’t be left high and dry if you have an issue with your CPO Chevy. Finally, you will get a three-month trial of OnStar and SiriusXM All-Access Package.
Do you still think that Certified Pre-Owned is just a clever marketing tool for any old used car? Now that you know about the Chevy CPO Program, don’t you think it’s time to stop by DePaula Chevrolet to get your next Chevy car, truck, or SUV? Stop by today and drive out with a CPO Chevy from us.
