Toyota Certification Overview

It’s been said thousands of times because it’s true: the best new cars make the best used cars. The better a product is made, the longer it lasts, which makes getting a high-quality, low-mileage Toyota at a great price a real score! Fortunately, it’s not hard to do in Eatontown, just head to Galaxy Toyota and ask for a TCUV (Toyota Certified Used Vehicles). Never heard of the Toyota certification program? No problem. Let’s go over the Gold and Silver levels of certification and what that means for your budget at Galaxy Toyota.

What is the Toyota Certification Program?

Toyota’s ongoing commitment to quality, innovation, and durability is the basis upon which the Toyota Certified Used Vehicles (TCUV) program launched back in 1996. Since then, the TCUV program has gained momentum, with over seven million sales of certified used Toyota models. That’s because the Toyota certified pre-owned program helps you get the best of both worlds: a great Toyota at an even more affordable price.

When you buy a certified used Toyota, you get an exceptional coverage policy. How much coverage depends on if the car is a Gold or Silver-level in the Toyota certification program.

What is Gold in the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program?

In order for a Toyota to earn Gold in the Toyota certified pre-owned program, it has to meet the highest criteria for a pre-owned vehicle. That includes:

  • No more than six model years old
  • No more than 85,000 miles on the odometer
  • Pass the Quality Assurance 160-point inspection

When a Toyota meets this criteria it will be accompanied by:

  • Limited Comprehensive Warranty: 12-month/12,000-mile
  • Limited Powertrain Warranty: 7-year/100,000-mile
  • 24-Hour Roadside Assistance: 7-year/100,000-mile
  • Free CARFAX Vehicle History Report

What is Silver in the Toyota Certified Pre-Owned Program?

Like Gold, a Silver in the Toyota certification program means you’ll get a great-quality Toyota at an even better price! That’s because a car can meet Silver criteria as long as it’s no more than 10 model years old with between 60,000-125,000 miles on the odometer. It must pass a Quality Assurance 136-point inspection. Your Silver-certified Toyota comes with:

  • Limited Powertrain Warranty: 12-month/12,000-mile
  • 24-Hour Roadside Assistance: 12-month/12,000-mile
