Mazda Certifies Pre-Owned Vehicles in Salem, VA

Mazda Pre-Owned Certification Process at Berglund Mazda of Salem, VA


At Berglund Mazda, we believe your next vehicle should be just right – from the initial time you drive it off the lot to every mile you drive it afterward. That's why our certified pre-owned Mazda vehicles are inspected and rigorously tested, factory-backed, and road-ready. You're not merely buying a pre-owned vehicle — you're buying one that's certified to Mazda's highest standards.

So, what distinguishes a certified pre-owned Mazda? Let's get into it.

Each Certified Pre-Owned Mazda Starts with Standards

Not every vehicle is certified. To become one, a Mazda must meet certain requirements before it enters the inspection pit. It has to be younger than six model years and under 80,000 miles on its odometer. That already puts it in the cream of the crop – but that is not all.

Only vehicles with a clean title and no record of frame damage, significant malfunctions, or major accidents move on to the next stage: the 160-point inspection.

160 Points, All Inspected by Mazda-Trained Technicians

The inspection is where things get serious. Every certified pre-owned Mazda undergoes a detailed 160-point inspection from bumper to bumper, inside and out. From engine to infotainment system, nothing goes unchecked.

Mechanics check for performance, safety equipment, electrical components, inside condition, a/c operation, brakes, steering, suspension, and even wheel tread depth. If a part doesn't meet Mazda specs, it gets fixed or replaced with authentic Mazda parts.

A top-to-bottom inspection that gets you really trusting behind the wheel.

What's Included with a Certified Pre-Owned Mazda

A certified pre-owned Mazda is a vehicle with a clean title and is packed with benefits that are designed to ensure ownership is hassle-free and convenient. Here's what you get with every certified Mazda at Berglund Mazda:

  • 12-Month/12,000-Mile Certified Limited Warranty: Starts the day you drive away from the dealership and covers many vehicle parts.
  • 7-Year/100,000-Mile Powertrain Limited Warranty: That's long-term protection with no deductibles on covered repairs.
  • 24-Hour Emergency Roadside Service: Tow, jump start, change flat tire, fuel delivery – you're protected, anytime, anywhere in the U.S. and Canada.
  • Vehicle History Report: Each certified pre-owned Mazda includes a detailed report so you know you're purchasing a vehicle that has been thoroughly reviewed.
  • Transferable Benefits: When you resell or trade your vehicle, the certification benefits transfer with it, adding value to the next owner.
