Can any Kia be Certified?

No. To become Kia Certified, a pre-owned vehicle has to be less than 5 years old and have fewer than 60,000 miles on the odometer.  The vehicle  then has to pass a rigorous 165-point inspection. A Carfax Vehicle History Report is also run to identify any vehicle that does not meet our strict standards.

Who certifies these vehicles?

Kia factory trained dealer technicians go through each vehicle, performing a rigorous 165-point inspection including obtaining a Carfax Vehicle History Report.  Any part(s) that doesn’t meet our standards is replaced with a factory-authorized part. For added peace of mind, each vehicle comes with comprehensive limited warranty coverage and powertrain limited warranty coverage.
