Mercedes-Benz of San Diego: A Trusted Pre-Owned Car Dealership

Transparency in Practice: Car Service History, Structural Condition, and More

Other local pre-owned car dealerships might give you access to a CARFAX® vehicle history report, but only if you’re lucky. Here at Mercedes-Benz of San Diego, we endeavor to give you access to the whole picture.  This means that every model in our pre-owned inventory is offered with a CARFAX® vehicle history report, but more importantly, it also means that we provide you with each of the following:

• True360 Reporting: Structural damage and repair history are two very significant factors in a vehicle’s long-term performance, but they’re left out of most basic vehicle history reports! Our True360 reporting looks at every important component in order to identify structural damage, cosmetic damage, and non-original equipment. 
• Certificate of Integrity: TrueFrame—the independent organization that verifies the condition of our pre-owned vehicles—also issues a Certificate of Integrity with each model that passes inspection.
• Vehicle Records: Click on any vehicle in our pre-owned inventory, and you’ll be able to view all of our vehicle records on the particular model. That’s right: in addition to a CARFAX® history report and a True360 report, you’ll be able to access each car’s service history—including real service receipts—as well as its original MSRP. If the model is certified pre-owned, the results of the CPO inspection will also be available.

How to Check a Car’s History

You’ve already got a sense of why we’re one of San Diego’s most trusted pre-owned car dealerships, but you might still have questions about how to check a car’s history while you shop. Here’s what you should know:

1. While you’re browsing our pre-owned inventory, you’ll notice a True360 button next to every single vehicle in our lineup. Click this button to see if you’re buying a car with an accident history. You’ll also be able to see how every important component fared in our inspection.
2. If you want to check a car’s service history or its CARFAX® vehicle history report, click on the picture of the model that’s caught your eye. On the next page, you can scroll down to view important records, including the results of any inspections. Here, you’ll also find the vehicle’s service records and receipts, as well as any other information that we have!

Do You Need to Buy Certified Pre-Owned?

At other dealerships, a careful and discerning driver’s best option is almost always a Certified Pre-Owned model that has passed an extensive, manufacturer-designed inspection. However, a CPO model won’t be a perfect fit for every driver.  Although our CPO models are also offered with each of the perks we’ve identified above, we believe that every driver deserves to bring home a vehicle that can go the distance. So, whether you decide to buy pre-owned or CPO at our dealership, you can be absolutely sure that you’re receiving a high-quality, reliable pre-owned
