"Since the beginning of our participation in the GM Certified Used Vehicles program more than three years ago, we have been providing our customers with an extra degree of confidence that they are purchasing a thoroughly inspected, quality used vehicle," said Tim Dawson, general sales manager, Reliable Chevrolet. "The GM Certified program is particularly valuable to our success because we're based in a college town and a significant portion of our marketing efforts focus on students and young adults wanting reliable transportation at affordable pricing. The GM Certified Used Vehicles program meets their needs perfectly."

"Reliable Chevrolet's position as the national sales leader is a strong testament to the peace of mind and value GM Certified brings to their customers," said Jeff Heichel, director, GM Used Vehicle Activities.
