HondaTrue Certified Vs. HondaTrue Certified+ Vs. HondaTrue Used
When you shop for a Honda certified pre-owned car, SUV, or truck, you shop for a road-ready ride that has passed an extensive inspection and qualifies for distinct benefits. Whether you want a Honda CPO for the extensive Limited Warranty or high-quality Roadside Assistance, these used vehicles are ready to give you peace of mind at the financing desk and for years to come.
However, Honda has three different programs – HondaTrue Used, HondaTrue Certified, and HondaTrue Certified Plus. Let's go over the benefits of the three programs so you can shop our inventory at Muller Honda Highland Park with confidence.

Besides the charted features, all Honda certified pre-owned vehicles have a three-day exchange policy and can qualify for Honda Care extended service or Trip Interruption coverage. For more information on these individual services, such as what Honda Care covers, please contact us at Muller Honda Highland Park.
HondaTrue Used
If your model is HondaTrue Used, it has passed a 112-point inspection process and qualifies for short-term but competent protections. These vehicles can be any Honda car, SUV, or truck with model years between 2014 and 2024.
A HondaTrue Used car is protected under a comprehensive Powertrain and Limited Vehicle Warranty for 100 days or 5,000 miles, whichever comes first.1 You'll be covered by 24-hour Roadside Assistance during this time and for one year or 12,000 miles afterward.2 When your vehicle needs maintenance, you can take your car into a Honda service center for a complimentary oil change within the first year of ownership.3
HondaTrue Certified
A HondaTrue Certified model is a step above the last category. These vehicles qualify for benefits that last much of their life span. Powertrain warranty coverage is extended to seven years or 100,000 miles, whichever comes first.1 Meanwhile, the Non-Powertrain Warranty lasts for either four years or 48,000 miles after the model's initial New Vehicle Warranty expires or for one year or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first, if the initial warranty expires before your purchase.1
You'll enjoy one year or 12,000 miles of Roadside Assistance2 and up to two complimentary oil change trips within a year after you take your Honda model home.3
HondaTrue Certified +
If you find a HondaTrue Certified Plus model within our certified Honda cars for sale, you will be getting one of the highest quality, most modern pre-owned vehicles available in our used lot. This program only involves 2023 and 2024 automobiles with less than 12,000 miles on the odometer.
You enjoy the same seven-year/100,000-mile Powertrain Warranty as HondaTrue Certified vehicles,1 though your HondaTrue Certified+ Non-Powertrain Warranty lasts five years or 86,000 miles, whichever comes first.1 You'll enjoy the most expansive Roadside Assistance package of these models – two years or 50,000 miles after your New Vehicle Warranty expires2 – and can access two complimentary oil changes within the first year.3

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Honda Certified Warranty cover the battery?
Your Honda Certified Warranty covers the battery in hybrid Honda vehicles, but not all batteries.1 The standard Honda Certified Warranty will not handle battery damage determined to be part of standard maintenance and wear. If you want to protect your car's battery, you may want to invest in a Honda Care extended warranty plan. Contact us for more information concerning your model's battery coverage.
Is the Honda Plus extended warranty transferable?
Yes, the full benefits of the Honda Plus extended warranty are transferred to the new vehicle owner once the customer name is finalized.1 Once the name is transferred, the warranty will follow without any fees or additional paperwork required. However, the remaining coverage duration will not begin anew after the transfer. Contact us for more information regarding Honda Plus.
