GMC Certified Pre-Owned Program Review

Overview

The GMC Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicle program changed in June 2026 to join Chevrolet and Buick in a combined CarBravo program. Some coverage offerings have shifted under the new banner, but the two-tiered program offers protection for GM and non-GM vehicles. More than 1,600 dealers are enrolled to sell CarBravo vehicles, and the included warranties cover repairs at any network location. Cadillac will continue selling certified pre-owned vehicles under an independent program. Read on to learn more about the new combined CarBravo system.
