Certified Toyota Process in Corpus Christi, TX

You don't have to sacrifice when you buy a pre-owned vehicle, especially when you shop at Mike Shaw Toyota. Here in Corpus Christi, TX, our Toyota Certified Pre-Owned vehicles go through a strict approval process even before they land on our lot. If it won't make the grade, it doesn't earn the badge.

Let's examine what it really takes to become certified.

Not Every Toyota Qualifies (And That's Alright)

Toyota doesn't hand out Certified status like candy. Only a select number of vehicles even make the cut to start the certification process – and that's by design.

Here's what it takes just to be considered:

• Toyota Brand Only
• Six Model Years or Newer
• 85,000 Miles or Less on the Odometer
• Clean Title with No Frame or Flood Damage
• CARFAX® Vehicle History Report with a Clean Record

These are premium pre-owned Toyotas with a clean history and the substance to support it.

Inspection Time: Every Inch Checked, Every Detail Counted

Once a vehicle crosses the threshold, it's time to place it in its rightful position. Our Toyota factory-trained technicians perform a multi-point inspection that digs deep. That includes everything from the engine compartment to the buttons on the infotainment – all inspected, tested, and certified.

What gets inspected?

• Brakes and Tires: Wear, Grip, and Performance
• Front and Back: From seatbelts to paint, all the way down to every minute detail
• Engine and Transmission: Fluids, Function, and Power Get Put to the Test
• Steering and Suspension: If It's Not Smooth, It's Not Certified
• Safety Tech and Gadgets: Cameras, Sensors, Screens, and More

If it doesn't meet our standards, it gets fixed or replaced with authentic Toyota parts. No shortcuts. No surprises.

There's a Road Test Too

Think we're done once we've inspected it? Not at all. Any vehicle before it's given its Certified seal of approval must demonstrate it on the road. That entails a comprehensive road test to ensure that acceleration, comfort, and everything in between are perfectly in line.

We tested it – how it drives, stops, and corners – because when you're behind the wheel, we want you to have faith from the first corner.
