The Car is Inspected in 160 Points 

First and foremost, not every Mazda car is eligible for certification. It is important to know that a certified pre-owned car is first put through a 160-point inspection. Among others, the following are checked: 

  • Mechanical components (engine, brakes, suspension, etc.) 
  • The condition of the bodywork 

  • Wheels and tires 

  • Materials and seats 

  • The functioning of the technologies 

  • Ventilation/heating operation, etc. 

  • And much more 


In addition to the visual inspection, a road test is performed at different speeds to ensure that everything is working and that there are no disturbing noises, for example. 

If a component does not meet Mazda’s requirements, the technicians will repair or replace the defective part. Only original parts are used for the best performance of your car. 

To ensure that your car is in optimal condition and functioning, you will also receive a CarProof report. This report reveals everything about the car’s past in a transparent manner. 


Benefit from an Extended Warranty 

Because of this thorough inspection by Mazda technicians, the manufacturer is confident that the car is of the highest quality. This confidence allows Mazda to offer you a 7-year or 140,000 km limited warranty. This warranty begins the day you complete the purchase of the certified car. 

You can also take advantage of the 5-year unlimited mileage warranty or various extended warranty options. Your L’Ami Junior Mazda dealership can help you find the warranty that suits your needs.

And a 30-day Exchange Privilege! 

After a few days with your Mazda, you’re not completely satisfied with your choice? Whatever your reasons, Mazda offers you a 30-day exchange privilege. 

During this time, you will have the opportunity to test-drive your certified vehicle in different road conditions, see if you are comfortable with it, etc. Although Mazda is confident in the quality of its certified cars, dissatisfaction can occur and we understand this. That’s why we let you exchange the car without any headaches. 

When returning the car, the following conditions apply: 

  • The vehicle must be in its original condition 

  • It must be in the hands of the original buyer 

  • It must pass an inspection 

  • It will not be eligible if it has more than $300 in damage 

  • The value of the trade-in vehicle must be equal to or greater than 


Of course, if you choose a more expensive vehicle, you will have to pay the difference.
