CPO Warranty Coverage & Protection

We’re committed to ensuring that confidence and peace of mind come standard with each CPO purchase. Our CPO program offers a handful of plans and warranties to help keep your vehicle protected. Each covered repair visit is subject to a deductible; feel free to reach out for more details.

Warranties and plans include:

• Seven-year/100,000-mile powertrain limited warranty — This coverage lasts for seven years from the vehicle’s original sale date or 100,000 miles on the odometer, whichever comes first, and includes repair or replacement of most major powertrain components, such as the engine, transmission, and driveline.
• Three-month/3,000-mile maximum care warranty — This begins on the date of your CPO vehicle sale or after the remaining term of the 3/36 basic new vehicle warranty expires. It covers over 5,000 vehicle components, providing extensive protection.
• Certified upgrade plans — Effective from the date of purchase, you can extend your Powertrain Limited Warranty with three certified upgrade plans, including Powertrain Care, Added Care Plus, and Maximum Care.

125-Point Vehicle Inspection Process

To us, a 125-item checklist is just the beginning. At South Oak JDRC, we take quality seriously, which is why every CPO vehicle undergoes a thorough 125-point inspection by the certified technicians in our service center. This ensures that each vehicle meets our high standards, giving you added peace of mind that it’s the right fit.

Some items we check include:

• Qualification standards
• Ownership materials
• Mechanical standards
• Maintenance standards
• Appearance standards
• Detail standards

Roadside Assistance & Added Perks

We understand that mishaps can happen. With every CPO vehicle purchase, you gain the advantage of towing and roadside assistance, as well as additional benefits. From flat tires to depleted batteries, the experts at South Oak JDRC have your back.

Available roadside assistance perks include:

• Flat-tire service (with your good spare)
• Gas delivery (up to two gallons)
• Battery-jump assistance
• Lockout service (i.e., keys locked in car, frozen lock, etc.)
• Towing service (if vehicle is inoperative)

CPO Program vs. Used Vehicles

How do you know whether a CPO vehicle or a used vehicle is the right choice for your driving needs? The first step is to compare the differences between the two. A CPO vehicle goes through a rigorous testing process to meet a list of specific standards and will often come with warranties, but they are limited to a smaller variety of vehicles. A used vehicle generally doesn’t come with manufacturer warranties, but you can often choose from a wider variety of makes and models, since they are not limited to a strict set of standards.
