Bob Howard Buick GMC certified pre-owned vehicles carry two limited warranties
Our Buick and GMC certified pre-owned program starts with a 172-point inspection by factory-trained technicians. Each vehicle then carries an extended powertrain limited warranty and a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty.
Both limited warranties carry a $0 deductible (GM Certified, Benefits After Purchasing Certified Used). A deductible is the amount you pay before a covered repair is paid, so $0 means a covered repair does not start with a bill from you. Certified pre-owned vehicles also come with 24-hour roadside assistance (GM Certified, Benefits After Purchasing Certified Used).
What does the bumper-to-bumper warranty cover on a certified pre-owned Buick or GMC?
The bumper-to-bumper warranty is a 12-month, 12,000-mile GM Certified Pre-Owned limited warranty, and GM Certified describes it as an extension to the New Car Warranty (GM Certified, Benefits After Purchasing Certified Used). GM Certified says it covers almost every part in the vehicle, with no deductible.
Because it extends the New Car Warranty, the bumper-to-bumper coverage picks up where the new-car coverage left off. That gives a buyer of a certified pre-owned vehicle a second layer of protection on most parts, not just the engine and transmission.
What must a Buick or GMC pass to be certified pre-owned?
A qualifying CarBravo vehicle carries 12-month, 12,000-mile bumper-to-bumper coverage, whichever comes first, with no deductible (CarBravo, General Motors’ certified used vehicle program, 2026).
Buick certified used vehicles are sold through CarBravo. Vehicles under 10 model years old with less than 100,000 miles get a 126-point inspection. BravoBudget vehicles between 10 and 15 model years old with 100,000 to 150,000 miles get a 62-point inspection (CarBravo, General Motors certified used program, 2026).
One safety rule applies to all General Motors used vehicles. The Federal Trade Commission’s 2016 order bars GM from calling a used vehicle safe, repaired for safety, or rigorously inspected while it has an open safety recall (Federal Trade Commission, General Motors Decision and Order, 2016). A vehicle with an open recall does not meet that standard.
Can you value a trade and finance a certified pre-owned Buick or GMC online?
Yes. The online trade tool gives an instant offer on your trade-in, and a secure finance application can be completed online. You can start the trade with a license plate, a VIN, or a make-and-model lookup. A make-and-model lookup returns only a general estimate that could change, so a plate or VIN gives the more exact number.
Once you have an offer, it holds for seven days or up to 250 miles. Trade-in customers can visit with or without an appointment, so you can bring the car in once you have the offer in hand.
Where do you take a certified pre-owned Buick or GMC for service in Oklahoma City?
Service hours are Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and the store is closed Sunday. Parts and concierge hours run on the same schedule.
You can order parts online for pickup, and the store calls when your order is ready, so the parts are waiting for you when you drive in.
Frequently asked questions
What happens to the certified pre-owned warranty if I sell the vehicle?
The CarBravo Warranty Coverage and Owner’s Assistance Manual says its limited warranty covers the original and any later owners during the warranty period. Its transfer clause, however, says the warranty is valid only when the vehicle is owned by the customer named on the first page, and it is not transferable to another vehicle or subsequent owner (CarBravo Warranty Coverage and Owner’s Assistance Manual).
What isn’t covered by a certified pre-owned limited warranty?
The CarBravo manual excludes damage from accidents, misuse, or alteration. Collision, fire, theft, freezing, vandalism, riot, and objects striking the vehicle are not covered, nor are driving over curbs, overloading, racing, or changes to the body, powertrain, or software (CarBravo Warranty Coverage and Owner’s Assistance Manual, 2026).
The manual also excludes damage from the environment, chemical treatments, and aftermarket products, such as road salt, tree sap, hail, and flood. Damage from failing to follow the maintenance schedule or to use the recommended fluids is excluded too (CarBravo Warranty Coverage and Owner’s Assistance Manual, 2026).
What should you ask before buying a certified pre-owned Buick or GMC?
Ask for the warranty terms in writing before you sign. Ask which program the car is certified under, because GM Certified and CarBravo publish different terms. Every certified vehicle comes with a complimentary vehicle history report, so ask for it at the desk.
