Mazda Certified Pre-Owned

Do you take labels at face value, or do you approach them with suspicion? Some advertising claims don’t really mean anything. Fast food places say they have all natural choices when really they’re full of things that aren’t good for you. Retailers promise the lowest price, but often you can find a better one somewhere else. And what’s up with grass-fed beef? Isn’t that what cows prefer to eat?

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned isn’t like that. It’s a designation that actually means something. When you buy a used car in East Texas, our pre-owned warranty program and inspection process lets you buy with confidence.

What We Take in Trade

We’ll take any car as a trade-in, but we don’t offer everything for resale on our lot. Frankly, not every car is good enough to be a Mazda Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. To start, vehicles must be less than six years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles.

Before we offer a car on our lot it goes through a rigorous 160-point inspection by one of our factory-trained technicians. Here are just a few of the many things we check:

  • Air conditioning and heating performance
  • Interior seating function — Does everything perform properly in all positions?
  • Exterior — Is the windshield unblemished and is the exterior free of large dings or improper repairs?
  • Brake performance on hard stops
  • Shifting quality and shift points of transmission
  • Engine function

We also run an Autocheck vehicle history report we pass on to the buyer.

Biggest Benefit of Buying Mazda Certified Pre-Owned

The whole program is great, but perhaps the most important benefit is the warranty. Where else can you buy a used car in East Texas and get seven year/100,000 mile powertrain protection?

We also give buyers a full year or 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and get this…that warranty starts when the original warranty expires. So if the car you buy still has some of its original bumper-to-bumper warranty left, you get an extra year once that ends.

You’ll probably never want to give up your Mazda, but if you do decide to sell during the warranty period it’s transferrable. That could make your vehicle worth more in the eyes of prospective buyers. It doesn’t cost a dime to transfer the warranty. It’s automatic.

So Much More

The warranty is huge, but you’ll also receive these benefits:

  • Zero deductible on repairs. If you need work under warranty, you pay nothing.
  • Free 24-hour roadside assistance. If your battery dies, you lock yourself out, you have a flat or any other emergency it doesn’t matter where you are. We’ll come help. For seven years.
  • Free 3 months of SiriusXM. Because driving is even more fun with music.
