What Makes a Vehicle "Merchants Certified"?
Not every used car, truck, or SUV makes the cut to become a Merchants Certified Pre-Owned vehicle. We funnel only the best productsinto this elite tier of our inventory, ensuring you drive home in a vehicle that looks, feels and performs like it just rolled off the factory line.
To earn the Merchants Certified badge, a vehicle must meet strict eligibility requirements and pass a meticulous reconditioning process:
- Factory Warranty Eligibility: Every Merchants Certified vehicle is young enough and has low enough mileage to still be covered within its original manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty.
- Comprehensive Multi-Point Inspection: Our expert technicians perform a rigorous bumper-to-bumper examination, verifying the safety, performance and structural integrity of every component.
- Strict Mechanical & Maintenance Standards:1
- Brakes: All brake pads must have a minimum thickness of 4MM
- Tires: Tread depth must be a minimum of 4/32" to ensure optimal grip and road safety.
- Mechanical Repairs: Any and all needed mechanical repairs are completed using quality parts.
- Up-to-Date Maintenance: We take care of the immediate upkeep so you don't have to. Every vehicle is brought fully up to date on its maintenance schedule for up to the next 30,000 miles.
- Premium Body & Cosmetic Care: We invest up to $3,000 in cosmetic body repairs per vehicle (addressing qualifying imperfections between $250 and $3,000) to ensure your new-to-you vehicle boasts a clean, professional, and showroom-ready appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between a standard used car and a Merchants Certified vehicle?
While every vehicle on our 26-acre lot passes a strict quality inspection, a Merchants Certified vehicle must still be within its original manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty. It also undergoes an enhanced reconditioning process with specific minimums for brakes and tires, comes with up to $3,000 in cosmetic restoration, and includes free delivery within 200 miles.
How does the 7-day return policy work on CPO vehicles?
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you decide the vehicle isn't the perfect match for your lifestyle, preferences or budget, you can bring it back within seven days for a full refund.
Do I have to pay extra for the remaining factory warranty?
No. The remainder of the manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty automatically transfers to you as the new owner at no additional charge.
Can I trade in my current vehicle toward a Merchants Certified car?
Yes! We present a streamlined process for those looking to sell a car nearby. We will provide a complimentary evaluation of your current vehicle and apply its value directly toward your Merchants Certified purchase to help lower your payments.
