How Chevrolet Authenticates Pre-Owned Vehicles at Tipotex Chevrolet

At Tipotex Chevrolet, we don't fool around when it comes to certification – and that's great news for anyone in the pre-owned hunt in Brownsville, TX. When you buy a certified pre-owned Chevrolet, you're getting a vehicle that's carefully inspected, professionally reconditioned, and backed by genuine Chevrolet benefits. Let's walk through the steps that make certified pre-owned Chevrolet vehicles' standard of excellence and value.

What Qualifies as a Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned?

Not every pre-owned vehicle qualifies for certification. Chevrolet has strict, specific standards – because your time and money are worth protecting.

To qualify, a pre-owned vehicle must:

• Be a Chevrolet Model within Six Years of the Current Model Year
• Have Fewer than 75,000 Miles on the Odometer
• Possess a Clean Title and Pass a Vehicle History Check
• Receive a 172-point inspection from Factory-Trained Technicians

Only after all these checks have been marked can the vehicle be referred to as an officially certified pre-owned Chevrolet.

Steps To Certification

Step 1: Vehicle History Review

Before we go under the hood, we thoroughly scrutinize the vehicle's past. With an in-depth CARFAX Vehicle History Report, we check for accidents, extensive repairs, title issues, recalls, and other red flags. If a vehicle doesn't pass this first test, it's out. Only those vehicles that get a clean bill of health get to move on to Step 2.

Step 2: The 172-Point Inspection

This is not a superficial once-through. Every vehicle that passes certification is subjected to a 172-point inspection, from engine and transmission to brakes, tires, and electronics.

Here's a sneak peek at what our mechanics check:

• Powertrain: Engine, transmission, driveline
• Safety Systems: Airbags, sensors, brakes, seat belts
• Interior and Exterior: Upholstery, lighting, body panels, paint condition
• Technology: Infotainment, Bluetooth®, backup cameras, navigation systems
• Road Test: Ride quality, acceleration, handling, and more

If it's not good enough for Chevrolet, we repair or replace it with GM Genuine Parts.

Step 3: Reconditioning With GM Parts

Once the inspection is complete, broken or out-of-spec components are replaced. That's correct; there are no off-brand replacements or cookie-cutter fixes. Every certified pre-owned Chevrolet is reconditioned with the same parts that went into the vehicle when it was new. The result? A vehicle that rides just like it's supposed to, without a flaw.

Step 4: Warranty Coverage & Benefits

Every certified pre-owned Chevrolet from Tipotex Chevrolet is supported by:

• 6-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty
• 12-Month/12,000-Mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty
• 24/7 Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation
• 3-Day/150-Mile Exchange Guarantee

It's not peace of mind – it's real protection built into each vehicle we certify.

Step 5: Final Approval and Certification

It's officially certified once all the inspections and repairs are complete and after the vehicle passes all Chevrolet standards. It's ready to make the lot, ready for a test drive, and ready for you.
