What does it take to be labeled Certified Used?

Besides the benefits themselves, we want you to understand what it takes to even get this label. We know that the more you understand, the more excited you'll be to check out the various options we have available on our lot. Ford Blue Advantage used vehicles have to pass a multi-point inspection before they are given the certified classification. That means the exterior and interior will be checked over for damage, smells, stains, working tech, and more! All of the mechanical aspects of these Ford models will be looked at, too, and if damage is found, either they aren't given this distinction, or issues are fixed. Ford takes this process seriously, and we know you will be getting all of the help you need to feel confident during every drive you go on.

Can you tell me about the coverage of Ford Used Certified vehicles?

A top benefit that we obviously have to mention to you when you get a Certified Used Ford is the kind of coverage you can expect to gain. Every vehicle that has been given this label comes with a 14-day/1,000-mile Money Back Guarantee, which you can utilize if you aren't happy with your purchase for whatever reason. You will also find, if you get a Ford electric vehicle, BaseCARE EV Limited Warranty coverage for 8 years/100,000 miles. The goal from Ford is to make you become a confident driver, even if you do end up having a hiccup here or there. No matter what, Ford has your back, and at Queen City Ford, we'll be able to give you that extra boost that you have been looking for. 

What certification levels are offered with Certified Used Ford vehicles?
