MotorTrend Certified Vehicles Program Launches in Memphis

NORCROSS, Ga. Feb. 17, 2016 – MotorTrend® Certified Vehicles, the industry leading Certified Pre-Owned program for a franchised dealer’s “other makes and model” vehicles, announced that Serra Chevrolet Bartlett has become the exclusive MotorTrend Certified Dealer in Memphis, Tennessee.

MotorTrend Certified Dealers are carefully selected and appointed based on their focus on quality and a positive customer experience. They must have a history of excellent customer reviews and outstanding service. MotorTrend Certification allows Serra Chevrolet Bartlett to offer MotorTrend Certified Pre-Owned vehicles and MotorTrend Certified Service from their service department, on an exclusive basis in their designated territory.

Serra Chevrolet Bartlett has an outstanding reputation as one of the most trusted car dealerships in the Memphis area. It was an easy choice for the MotorTrend selection committee to award the dealership membership in the program.

“At Serra Chevrolet Bartlett, we are beyond excited to be able to offer our customers a better way to buy a better carSM, with the confidence of knowing that their car is guaranteed,” said Bob Pollock, General Manager of Serra Chevrolet Bartlett. “There are so many more benefits that we can now offer our customers, which really sets us apart in the marketplace.”

Consumer demand for Certified Pre-Owned vehicles has continued to rise sharply since 2009. As a MotorTrend Certified Dealer, Serra Chevrolet Bartlett is now able to not only certify Chevrolet vehicles on its pre-owned lot, but also benefit from strong consumer demand for certified vehicles by offering MotorTrend Certification on all of its other makes and models.

Serra Chevrolet Bartlett began offering MotorTrend Certified vehicles in January 2016, at 7850 US-64, Memphis, TN 38133. For more information on Serra Chevrolet Bartlett, please visit http://www.serrabartlett.com.
