Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program Overview

Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program Overview
Toyota vehicles are synonymous with long-lasting dependability, outstanding quality, and innovative features that separate them from the competition. In addition to all of these advantages, Toyota vehicles also deliver remarkable value that’s even more impressive when you consider a Toyota Certified Used Vehicle (TCUV). First introduced back in 1996, the program provides an extensive list of benefits and perks that you simply can not find with a typical used car. Our team at Germain Toyota of Columbus has created this handy guide that covers all the benefits you can expect as a TCUV owner along with a comprehensive look at the two individual tiers of certification.
