Certification
Our Ford Blue Advantage certification process is designed with your satisfaction and safety in mind. Every vehicle that earns the Ford Certified seal has gone through a meticulous process, from the moment we acquire it to the final sale. To qualify, a vehicle must be current model year or up to 10 years old and meet strict mileage limits.
Each vehicle undergoes a comprehensive 139- or 172-point inspection by Ford-trained technicians, ensuring that only the best vehicles are certified. Before any car is listed as Certified Pre-Owned, we review a CARFAX® Vehicle History Report to confirm its clean history and eligibility. Our process ensures that you’re driving away in a Ford that meets the highest standards of quality, safety, and performance.
