The reassurance of a 3 Year or 175,000km warranty

Holden's success in new car sales means they get the pick of the crop for used cars, and when one of these vehicles is good enough to meet the strict Holden Certification Standards, you can be confident you are looking at one of the best used vehicles available.

In fact, Holden Retailers are so confident in the Holden Certification process, that participating Holden Retailers will provide each Certified Used Vehicle with a 3-year or 175,000 kilometre Certified Used Vehicle Warranty.

The cover provided will commence at the date of purchase or upon the expiry of any Manufacturer's Warranty or Holden Retailer Statutory Warranty provided with the vehicle and cease after 36 months from that date or after the vehicle has traveled 175,000 kilometres since manufacture, whichever occurs first.

The Holden Certified Used Vehicle Warranty provides a maximum claim benefit for any one repair due to failure of a covered part of up to $1,000 and offers an unlimited number of qualifying warranty repairs throughout the term of the warranty in the event of mechanical failure.

Regular servicing maintains your vehicle’s mechanical and operational standards.

Buying a quality used vehicle is only part of the equation, maintaining the mechanical and operational standard of the vehicle over its lifetime is necessary for your safety and peace of mind. Therefore, it is a condition of receiving the Holden Certified Used Vehicle Warranty that the selling Holden retailer providing the warranty, services the vehicle.

In the event the Holden Certified Used Vehicle purchased is still under the manufacturer’s warranty cover, servicing must continue with the selling retailer in accordance with the owner’s manual, until such time as the original Holden manufacturer’s warranty expires and the Holden Certified Used Vehicles Warranty commences. This will maintain the validity of the Retailer’s own Holden Certified Used Vehicles Warranty when required.
