What Does “Certified” Mean on Our Lot?
When you see a vehicle marked Certified in our inventory, its certification details are listed right on the vehicle page — what the certification includes and any coverage that comes with it. Because every certified vehicle can be a little different, the vehicle page is the place to check, and our team will go over it with you in person before you sign anything.
Our certified inventory isn’t limited to one brand. You’ll find certified Ram trucks, Jeep SUVs, Dodge and Chrysler vehicles, plus other makes that came to us on trade.
Have a question about a specific certified vehicle? Call us at (320) 587-4748 and we’ll walk you through it before you make the drive.
Our Pre-Sale Inspection
Every used vehicle we list for retail sale goes through our factory-trained service technicians first — the same crew that handles warranty work and routine maintenance on new Rams, Jeeps, Dodges, and Chryslers every day. Our service department was voted Best Auto Mechanic in Hutchinson.
What Our Pre-Sale Inspection Covers
- Engine performance, fluids, leaks, and cold-start operation
- Transmission, drivetrain, transfer case, and 4WD/AWD function
- Brakes, rotors, calipers, and parking brake
- Tires (tread depth, age, wear pattern) and wheel alignment
- Battery, charging system, and electrical accessories
- Heating, A/C, defrost, and HVAC operation (a real check in MN)
- Suspension, steering, and ride quality
- Lights, wipers, mirrors, and visibility equipment
- Safety systems, airbags, and driver assist features
- Body integrity, frame inspection, and prior-damage check
If something doesn’t meet our standard, we address it before the vehicle is priced for sale. Some vehicles are sold as-is instead, and those are clearly labeled as-is so you know exactly what you are buying.
Questions to Ask on Any Used Vehicle
Whether you buy from us or anyone else, these are the questions worth asking before you sign:
- Is it certified, and what does the certification include?
- Can I see the vehicle history report?
- What reconditioning was done before it was listed?
- Is it sold as-is, or does it come with coverage?
- Are there any open recalls?
We’ll answer every one of those for any vehicle on our lot. For the recall question, our used-buyer recall guide shows you how to check any Ram, Jeep, Dodge, or Chrysler yourself.
Certified vs. Standard Used Inventory
Certified vehicles are one part of our used inventory. Every other used vehicle we list for retail sale goes through the same service department inspection before it’s priced — it just doesn’t carry a certification. Vehicles sold as-is are clearly labeled.
That means you can shop by what fits your needs and budget. A certified vehicle gives you the certification details listed on its page. A standard used vehicle gives you more choice across ages, mileage, and price points, all inspected by the same team.
Why Buy Used From a Family-Owned Dealer?
- Factory-trained technicians. Our service team works on Ram, Jeep, Dodge, and Chrysler vehicles every day — they know what to look for and what’s normal wear.
- Voted Best Auto Mechanic and Best Body Shop in Hutchinson. Reader-voted recognition from the people who live here.
- Family-owned since 2005. Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone. If something needs attention after the sale, you can ask for any of us by name.
- Service and body shop under one roof. One family, one service department, one body shop — the same people take care of your vehicle after you buy it.
Jay, Jake, and Jordan Malone — the family running Jay Malone Motors since 2005.
