Certification Process
Before we dive into our stock of certified Kias, we’d like to first clarify how these models are different from other pre-owned vehicles. First, in order to qualify for this program, the car, crossover, SUV, or minivan in question must have fewer than 60,000 accumulated miles and be no more than five years old. After meeting this preliminary criteria, the model must pass a thorough 164-point quality inspection by our service team that covers everything from the electrical system to the brake pads. Only Kia vehicles that meet our expectations can earn the status as a certified pre-owned car! Best of all, you’ll benefit from a 10-Year/100,000 Mile Limited Powertrain Warranty1.
