Chevy is a giant in the automotive industry, with parent company GM as one of the top three largest auto manufacturers in the world and the Chevrolet imprint as their mass-market brand, known best for being both affordable and accommodating. Chevy invented the ‘model year’ system in the 1920s—to keep their commodities fresh with trendsetting designs, next-generation materials, and cutting-edge technology—and they’ve accelerated this tradition over the past few years with some remarkable advancements in safety, connectivity, and fuel economy.
Chevrolet has been building lean and strong vehicles for over a century, and we here at McCluskey Chevrolet have acquired a selection of their best models from the past six years. These are some of the finest cars available today, and we’re excited to re-release them to the public as Certified Pre-Owned Chevy models. This designation indicates that we’ve inspected and vetted these vehicles and can proudly say they should run like new—only at a price far more attractive than they held the first time they rolled off the lot.
In order to be considered Certified Pre-Owned (CPO), a vehicle must satisfy a strict series of standards. First and foremost, the vehicle’s title must be clean—as in, we know its ownership history, not unlike verifying the pedigree of a show dog. The other base qualifications are that the vehicle must be younger than six years old and must have no more than 75,000 miles on the odometer by the time of our inspection. That brings us to the best part.
Any CPO vehicle on our lot goes through one of the most comprehensive vehicle inspections, with 172 points of inquiry—seat belts, shocks, steering, transmission, air filter, radio, power windows, floor mats, and the list goes on. The vehicle is verified to have had all—if any—necessary fixes, should a recall order have been placed on one or more components during its lifetime. Lastly, we recondition the vehicle; that way, you can drive off the lot feeling as if your car had never had a previous owner.
Each Certified Pre-Owned will have an accompanying print-out of the CARFAX Vehicle History Report—provided free of charge—to ensure peace of mind during your own personal inspection of the vehicle. You need not worry about your next automotive infatuation being ruined by an unexpected red flag, and you can acclimate to the driver’s seat with the confidence that your vehicle has all its cards already on the table.
The best part of buying a Certified Pre-Owned is getting all the benefits of a new car without the price tag of a new car. Case in point, the warranties. The majority of used vehicles will not come with warranties, as those were voided after the resale or the new vehicle warranties have run out, but all our Certified Pre-Owned vehicles come with three warranties!
The first is a powertrain limited warranty, covering six years or 100,000 miles. Every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from Chevrolet, Buick, and GMC is covered for malfunctions and mechanical failures that befall the components related to the vehicle’s power generation and transference—i.e., the engine, the transmission, the driveshaft. This warranty includes Roadside Assistance and Courtesy Transportation in the case of such problems arising, and it is transferable to subsequent owners should you decide the resell. And the best part? There is a $0 deductible, meaning this powertrain warranty finances the entire repair process.
The second is a bumper-to-bumper limited warranty, covering the first twelve months or 12,000 miles—whichever comes first. This one is slightly different, as it comes with caveats; the most notable of these is that issues occurring during improper use of the vehicle are not covered. The Certified Pre-Owned Owner’s Manual will describe the term “proper use” in full, but essentially this means using common sense. For instance, street-racing, curb-hopping, and overloading will void this warranty. Issues due to insufficient or improper maintenance and tire damage are also not included in the bumper-to-bumper warranty.
Our last warranty is possibly our greatest offering: our very own Free Lifetime Mechanical Warranty. This applies to all vehicles we sell, regardless of model year or mileage, and it lasts for the entirety of your ownership. This warranty covers all mechanical components integral to your vehicle’s safety and performance—so think the driveshaft, turbocharger, transmission, or any related sensors your car may have. This warranty is unique to McCluskey Chevrolet, and we consider it one of the top reasons why so much of the Cincinnati area has come to us for their next automotive purchases. Our service department will repair any and all covered components for free and as soon as possible. The only requirement for this warranty to remain in effect is that you get your oil changed at the recommended intervals—that’s it!
Should you wish to accelerate your car-buying process, you can apply for financing online and even apply for Guaranteed Credit Approval. We will work with you to find the best financing options for your situation, regardless of your credit score. Should you be pre-approved online, our financing department will walk you through the rest of the loan process upon your first visit. Members of our team are always present, too, should you prefer to begin this process in person, and we are happy to negotiate the terms of both purchase and lease options.
Another benefit of getting a CPO model is the Vehicle Exchange Policy. Should you leave our dealership and immediately realize you would have preferred a different vehicle, you have three days (or 150 miles) to exchange your vehicle—free of charge. We will apply the terms of your pre-existing agreement as best we can and then renegotiate the terms accordingly.
McCluskey Chevrolet is also proud to handle the two complimentary scheduled maintenance visits within two years or 24,000 miles of ownership that you get when you buy a Chevy CPO. From routine maintenance services—like oil changes, filter replacements, and tire rotations—to powertrain services and more serious repairs, we have all of your needs covered. Between this and your Free Lifetime Mechanical Warranty, you’re set up for success in your future travel endeavors for the entirety of your vehicle's lifetime!

With a pristine facility, convenient service hours, and easy scheduling options, finding time to see us fits effortlessly into your schedule. We understand that even when you’re driving a reliable vehicle, accidents and breakdowns can happen. No vehicle is immune to this, which is why it helps to have a warranty program in place to help protect you and your finances from the rising costs of vehicle repairs. This is why so many customers choose to partner with McCluskey Chevrolet when they don’t want to worry about their vehicle and how it performs on the road and beyond. So, if you want to ensure that your vehicle is protected by the best, don’t hesitate to pay us a visit and chat with our team to find the vehicle and the warranty protection you deserve to maximize your time in the driver’s seat.
