Frequently Asked Questions about Certified Pre-Owned Kia Vehicles in Mishawaka, IN
What is a Kia Certified Pre-Owned vehicle?
A Kia Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle is a used Kia that has passed a rigorous 165-point inspection performed by factory-trained technicians. To qualify, the vehicle must be six years old or newer with fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. Any component that doesn't meet Kia's standards is repaired or replaced with manufacturer-authorized parts before the vehicle can be certified.
What warranty comes with a Certified Pre-Owned Kia?
Every Certified Pre-Owned Kia comes with Kia's industry-leading 10-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty — calculated from the vehicle's original in-service date and zero miles — plus 1-year/12,000-mile Platinum Coverage from the CPO purchase date. This combination of warranties provides some of the strongest protection available in the pre-owned segment.
Does a Certified Pre-Owned Kia come with roadside assistance?
Yes. All Kia CPO vehicles include complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance, 7 days a week, for the duration of the 10-year powertrain warranty. Coverage includes flat tire service, jump starts, lockout assistance, and emergency towing. Travel breakdown coverage and rental car allowance are also included for qualifying repairs.

How is a Certified Pre-Owned Kia different from a regular used Kia?

It includes a CARFAX Vehicle History Report, a 165-point quality assurance inspection, and substantial warranty protection. This means you get the affordability of a pre-owned vehicle with significantly more peace of mind than a non-certified used car.

The Kia CPO Warranty — What's Covered
Kia's Certified Pre-Owned program includes some of the most comprehensive warranty protection available in the pre-owned market. At the core is the 10-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty, which covers the engine, transmission, and drivetrain components. This coverage begins from the vehicle's original in-service date and zero miles, meaning you're picking up where the original owner left off — and in many cases, there are years of protection remaining.
In addition, every Kia CPO vehicle includes 1-year/12,000-mile Platinum Coverage from your purchase date. This functions as a near-bumper-to-bumper warranty, covering a broad range of vehicle systems and components beyond just the powertrain. The Platinum Coverage is transferable if you ever sell the vehicle, adding resale value as well.
- 10-year/100,000-mile Limited Powertrain Warranty (from original in-service date).
- 1-year/12,000-mile Platinum Coverage (from CPO purchase date).
- Transferable coverage adds long-term resale value.
For buyers looking at older vehicles, Kia also offers a CPO Lite program for vehicles between 7 and 10 years old with fewer than 100,000 miles, which includes a 135-point inspection and a 6-month/6,000-mile powertrain warranty. Ask the team at Gurley Leep Kia about current CPO Lite availability.
The 165-Point Inspection Process
Before any Kia earns the Certified Pre-Owned designation at Gurley Leep Kia, it must pass a rigorous 165-point quality assurance inspection performed by factory-trained Kia technicians. This inspection covers every major system and component of the vehicle, from the engine and transmission to the brakes, tires, suspension, electrical systems, and interior features.
Any item that does not meet Kia's factory standards during the inspection is repaired or replaced using manufacturer-authorized parts — not aftermarket substitutes. A CARFAX Vehicle History Report is also obtained for every CPO vehicle to verify its ownership history, service records, and that it has not been involved in major accidents or sustained flood damage.
- 165-point inspection covering all major vehicle systems.
- All repairs made with Kia manufacturer-authorized parts.
- CARFAX Vehicle History Report included with every CPO vehicle.
This meticulous process is what sets a Kia CPO vehicle apart from a standard used car. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Kia from Gurley Leep Kia, you can trust that the vehicle has been thoroughly evaluated and prepared to meet Kia's exacting standards.
Roadside Assistance and Additional CPO Benefits
Kia's CPO program goes beyond warranty coverage to provide practical, real-world protection for your daily driving. Every Certified Pre-Owned Kia includes complimentary 24-hour roadside assistance for the full duration of the 10-year powertrain warranty. Whether you're navigating Mishawaka or traveling across Indiana, help is available around the clock, 365 days a year.
Roadside assistance covers flat tire changes, battery jump starts, lockout service, and emergency towing. Travel breakdown coverage is also included, providing reimbursement for lodging and meals if a covered breakdown occurs more than 100 miles from home. A rental car allowance is available for qualifying covered repairs, so you're not left without transportation while your Kia is being serviced at Gurley Leep Kia.
