Certification Process for Pre-Owned Vehicles

Buying a certified pre-owned vehicle shouldn't be a leap of faith. It’s easy to become overwhelmed with questions about a car's history, current condition, and its true value. Scott Family of Dealerships' goal is simple: provide a transparent process you can trust.

As your trusted dealership group in Allentown, PA, we are committed to ensuring every certified pre-owned sedan, truck, and SUV on our lot is one we proudly stand behind.

Our Quality Certification Process

We believe only the best certified pre-owned vehicles deserve a spot on our lot. To earn a spot, every pre-owned vehicle must pass through a rigorous, multi-stage certification process with several key checkpoints.

• Checkpoint 1: Vehicle History Verification. We check the paperwork first. Before we even consider a physical inspection, we run a complimentary vehicle history report. This lets us screen for major issues right away, like past accidents or title problems. If a car's history report isn't clean, it doesn't qualify for our lot.
• Checkpoint 2: The Mechanical and Safety Inspection. Once a vehicle’s history is verified, our skilled, factory-trained technicians perform a thorough multi-point inspection. This is not just a quick check; they examine the engine, transmission, brakes, and steering to ensure the core components are sound. They also inspect key safety items like tires, lights, and wipers to confirm the vehicle is ready for the road.
• Checkpoint 3: The Reconditioning Process. If our inspection reveals any component that does not meet our high standards, it must be repaired or replaced. Our technicians perform all necessary reconditioning work to ensure the vehicle is in excellent operating condition. This step is crucial to our promise of delivering a safe and dependable pre-owned car to our customers.
