Buy Used With the Backing of a Factory-Certified Kia
Shopping for a used car, but want more protection than a typical pre-owned sale gives you? At Ray Skillman Kia West, the Kia Certified Pre-Owned benefits hand you a quality vehicle, factory-backed coverage, and a price that fits real budgets. It is the smart middle ground between buying new and rolling the dice on an ordinary used car.
- Every certified Kia passes a 165-point quality assurance inspection before it earns the badge.
- Factory-backed warranty coverage and roadside help follow you long after you drive off the lot.
- Certified sedans, SUVs, crossovers, and minivans give nearly any driver a fit.
Buying a car should feel good, not stressful. We get that many shoppers worry about what they cannot see under the hood of a used vehicle. That is exactly why a certified Kia exists. When you choose a Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle from us, a trained team has already gone through it top to bottom, and the factory stands behind it. You get the savings of used with backup you can truly count on.
What Earns a Kia the Certified Badge
Not every used Kia qualifies as certified. To make the cut, a vehicle has to be six years old or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. From there, our factory-trained technicians run a 165-point quality assurance inspection that touches the engine, transmission, brakes, steering, suspension, electrical systems, heating and cooling, and the body itself.
If something does not meet Kia’s standard, it gets repaired or replaced with a factory-authorized part. Each certified vehicle also comes with a CARFAX vehicle history report, so you can see the road it traveled before it reached our lot. Browse our certified selection online to see what is ready right now.
Warranty Coverage That Stays With You
The warranty is where a certified Kia really pulls ahead of a standard used car. You get a 10-year/100,000-mile limited powertrain warranty that starts from the vehicle’s original in-service date, protecting the big-ticket parts like the engine, transmission, and drive axle. That is the same long coverage Kia is known for on its new cars.
On top of the powertrain warranty, you also get 1-year/12,000-mile Platinum Coverage that begins the day you take the keys, along with 24/7 roadside assistance for flat tires, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing. Covered repairs can include towing, rental car, and travel breakdown reimbursement, so a surprise on the road does not derail your week.
Here’s a look at what’s included:
| Certified Benefit | What’s Included | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
| Powertrain Warranty | 10 years / 100,000 miles from the original in-service date | Long protection on the engine, transmission, and drive axle |
| Platinum Coverage | 1 year / 12,000 miles from the day you buy | Added coverage on many components for your first year |
| 165-Point Inspection | Full review of mechanical, safety, and appearance items | Worn or failing parts are fixed before you ever see the car |
| Roadside Assistance | 24/7 help for flat tires, lockouts, jump-starts, and towing | Backup is a phone call away, day or night |
| Travel & Rental Reimbursement | Towing, rental, and travel breakdown coverage on covered repairs | A breakdown away from home stays manageable |
| CARFAX History Report | Vehicle history report on every certified Kia | A clear look at the car’s past before you commit |
Kia Certified Pre-Owned Benefits in Indianapolis, IN
Central Indiana driving asks a lot of a vehicle. Daily loops around I-465, longer hauls down I-65 and I-70, salty winter roads, and weekend escapes to Brown County all add up over the years. The Kia Certified Pre-Owned benefits give you a used car that is ready for that kind of life, with factory coverage that keeps going as the miles climb. When the powertrain is warrantied for a decade from the in-service date, a longer commute or a road trip feels a lot less risky.
We have been part of the west side since Ray Skillman added Kia West to the Westside Auto Mall in 2009, and the larger Ray Skillman group has served local drivers since 1980.
