Taking You the Extra Mile

1 Year Roadside Assistance

No matter how reliable your Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is, things can still go wrong from time to time. There’s always the possibility of getting a flat tyre, your battery running flat or locking your keys in the car. This is why we’ve included Roadside Assistance for added peace of mind. We provide an easy to use mobile app so it’s easy to access and recall all the important information.


Minimum 1 Year / 10,000 km Manufacturer's Warranty

Experience peace of mind motoring as Certified pre-owned vehicles have a minimum of one (1) year or 10,000 km manufacturer’s warranty remaining plus receive a 3 year / 175,000 km Auto Protection Plan. It’s a promise of reassurance and a sign of faith from the OEM (original equipment manufacturer) in the reliability and quality of their vehicles. Drive away confident that you’re covered today, tomorrow, and into the future.

Safety Certification Report

Our highly skilled mechanics conduct an exhaustive inspection of over 101 points for each vehicle to determine if it’s eligible for resale under our Certified program standards. Each Certified Pre-Owned vehicle must meet or exceed an intensive quality check which includes mechanical, safety, and appearance criteria. At Suttons, only the highest quality pre-owned vehicles achieve certification.


Auto Protection Plan

We go the extra mile with every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle by including our comprehensive Auto Protection Plan. As every vehicle has gone through our intensive Safety Certification Inspection to determine its eligibility in our program, we can confidently include, what we believe to be, one of the leading protection plans available at no additional cost to you.

Peace of Mind

7 Day Exchange [v1]

Why you might change your mind doesn’t matter but rest assured with the Suttons Certified Pre-Owned program, if you do decide on a different vehicle within the first seven days of ownership you can exchange it at any of our eligible Sydney locations.


Two Sets Of Keys

It’s a simple idea, but every Certified Pre-Owned vehicle is sold with two sets of keys – just like a new car. Yes, the second set of keys helps in many ways but did you know replacing a lost key can sometimes be an expensive venture and that’s the kind of headache and worry we don’t want you facing. A Certified Pre-Owned car is not just another used car; it’s a commitment to your peace of mind.

Each claim limit is $2,000 and unlimited claims can be made over the term of the contract which is 3 years after Manufacturer's Warranty expires or up to 175,000 kms since manufacture, whichever occurs first.

With a reliable nationwide network, NRA provides a high standard of fast, professional service.

Every used car we purchase enters our workshop to become a Certified Pre-Owned vehicle but only the best of the best will meet or exceed our thorough inspection. This includes details such as upholstery and seat condition, all safety and road-worthy items, paint and body condition, as well as vehicle mechanics. Our highly trained mechanics will also test things like the engine performance, gearbox and transmission operation, plus ensure there is sufficient brake pads and tyre wear remaining. Finally, we ensure every vehicle has two sets of keys, a full tank of fuel and logbooks. The inspection summary is recorded by our technicians for full transparency which is available upon request.
