Chevrolet Certified Pre-Owned Program Review

Overview

You can find a certified pre-owned Chevrolet in one of two ways: GM Certified and CarBravo. Both are manufacturer-backed but have different qualifications for certification, with GM Certified being more selective. Another distinction is that no dealership will sell cars from both programs. So, if you prefer one over the other or have a preferred dealer, check the location to see which program sells the Chevrolet certified pre-owned (CPO) you want. CarBravo also sells CPO vehicles from all other brands.
