What are MotorTrend Certified Vehicles?
MotorTrend Certified vehicles have passed a meticulous inspection ensuring that they're reliable, high-quality vehicles. These pre-owned cars, trucks, vans, and SUVs also come with a minimum of six months or 7,500 miles of mechanical repair coverage. This will pay for basic repairs if you happen to need anything within the first few months of driving your vehicle. MotorTrend will even help you keep your vehicle looking like new with paintless dent and ding repair coverage. This can address small dents and dings in your car's finish to keep it looking gorgeous and help it retain its resale value.
MotorTrend Certification helps protect your keys, too. You can get a free key or key FOB replacement with the EasyCare KeyCare program. This helps protect all the keys on your ring so you have the functionality you need.
Quality Assurance and Transparency
To receive MotorTrend Certification, a vehicle must pass a meticulous multi-point inspection conducted by a MotorTrend Certified technician. This inspection looks carefully at nearly every part of the vehicle including the:
- Engine block, cylinder heads, and intake and exhaust manifolds
- Cooling system
- Brake master cylinder
- Battery
- Air cleaner and fuel injectors
- Transmission case
- CV boots
- Struts
- Brakes
- Suspension systems
The technician checks all essential fluid levels and tops them off as needed. If any leaks are detected, the technician will repair them. The technician makes sure that the odometer reading is appropriate to the general condition of the vehicle to help you stay clear of any vehicles that have been tampered with. They also check that the vehicle has the original suspension system with no alterations.
Before the vehicle is released for sale, the technician changes the oil and oil filter. They will also repair or replace the bulbs, wiper blades, and floor mats. If the vehicle is due for any major maintenance within 1,500 miles of its current odometer reading, the technician completes these tasks as well. Minor dents are repaired using paintless dent repair where possible and the entire interior and exterior of the vehicle are cleaned and polished, so you get that new car smell even in a used vehicle.
Before signing off on a MotorTrend Certified vehicle, the technician completes a road test that checks for proper engine operation, safe oil pressure and operating temperatures, smooth transmission shifts, and proper steering with no vibration. The electrical systems, air conditioning, and parking brakes are all tested to ensure that they function properly. All parts in the emission system are deemed functional and in line with applicable standards.
5-Day Exchange Policy
You typically get a 72-hour exchange window with a MotorTrend Certified vehicle. This allows you to bring back the vehicle within the allotted window to exchange it for another vehicle if you're unhappy with your purchase for any reason.
Your initial test drive will tell you a lot about a vehicle, but this doesn't always give you the whole story. That's why we want you to drive away with the peace of mind that comes from knowing that you don't have to stick with your new-to-you vehicle if it's not really the right fit. Take your time to fully test how the vehicle fits into your life and simply bring it back if it turns out that you need something else.
We're so passionate about this philosophy that at ALM Cars, we extend your exchange window to five days. This gives you a whole workweek to swap your vehicle out for another one if you locate a better deal on our lot or you decide that your current purchase isn't for you. Perhaps the backseat isn't spacious enough for your kids or the trunk doesn't hold your double stroller like you'd hoped. No problem! You can come back anytime within five days of your purchase to exchange your MotorTrend Certified vehicle for another one.
Best Value Guarantee
The MotorTrend Certified best value guarantee ensures that you get the best price on your vehicle. If you find the same car elsewhere with the same benefits and options at a lower price within five days of your purchase, you're entitled to a full refund of the price difference. This helps to thoroughly protect you from any buyer's remorse. You won't find yourself bemoaning a great deal on the same car from another dealership because we're willing to meet their offer. That's how confident we are in our low pricing and great deals.
When you visit our lot at ALM Cars, you'll find thousands of used cars at some of the most competitive prices in the industry. We know that a car purchase is a big investment, even when you're buying used. Our team members are committed to helping you get the car you need at a price you can afford. MotorTrend's Best Value Guarantee puts this to the test by ensuring that we'll pay you back for any overcharge if we price a vehicle higher than the competition.
