What makes them so great? For starters, they’re all under 4 years old with less than or 50,000 miles. They’re also guaranteed to have no dings, dents, or scratches.

But wait! While a vehicle may appear flawless, what’s under the hood can always tell a different story. That’s why we have a rigorous 109-point checklist in place that our vehicles must pass to be considered CarShop Certified.
