Not every pre-owned Subaru is eligible to become 'Certified.' In fact, the criteria are so stringent that only the best-maintained vehicles make the cut. To even be considered for the program, a Subaru must be under five years old and have fewer than 80,000 miles on the odometer. This ensure that the vehicle still has its most productive years ahead of it and that the core components have not been subjected to excessive wear and tear. This age and mileage restriction is the first line of defense for the consumer. It eliminates older vehicles that might require immediate heavy maintenance. For a driver in Plainfield or Joliet, this means you are getting a modern vehicle equipped with contemporary safety technology and fuel efficiency. It bridges the gap between the affordability of a used car and the pristine condition of a brand-new model.

Beyond the basic age and mileage stats, every CPO candidate must have a clean title and a verifiable service history. We look for vehicles that have been loved by their previous owners—those that received regular oil changes, tire rotations, and scheduled maintenance right here at authorized centers. When you browse our Browse Used Inventory, you can clearly distinguish the CPO units by their specialized labeling and the comprehensive documentation that accompanies them. This transparency is why Subaru has earned such high marks for brand loyalty; we don't hide the vehicle's past—we celebrate the fact that it has been maintained to the highest possible standard.

The single most compelling reason to choose CPO over a private-party sale is the warranty coverage. Every Certified Pre-Owned Subaru comes with a standard 7-year/100,000-mile powertrain warranty. This coverage begins from the vehicle's original 'in-service' date and provides a massive safety net for the most expensive components of your car: the engine, transmission, and all-wheel-drive system. Think about the alternative: buying a used car from a stranger on the internet. Once the cash changes hands, you are on your own. If a transmission issue arises two months later, that cost is yours to bear. With a CPO Subaru from Hawk Subaru, you have the backing of the manufacturer and a $0 deductible for covered repairs. It is the closest you can get to the protection of a new car while staying within a pre-owned budget.

We also offer additional coverage plans to wrap your vehicle in even more protection, covering items like electrical systems and climate control. Our finance team can help you integrate these protections into your monthly payment seamlessly. Get Pre-Approved for Financing today to see how affordable this peace of mind can be.

24/7 Roadside Assistance

Whether you have a flat tire on I-55 or you accidentally locked your keys in the car while shopping in downtown Plainfield, Subaru has your back. Every CPO vehicle includes 24/7 roadside assistance for the duration of the warranty. This includes jump-starts, lockout service, and even emergency towing to the nearest Subaru retailer.

CARFAX® History Report

Transparency is non-negotiable. We provide a full CARFAX® Vehicle History Report for every CPO vehicle. You can see the ownership history, service records, and verification that the vehicle has never been in a major accident or suffered flood damage. We believe you should know everything we know about the car's past life.

SiriusXM® & STARLINK®

Your 'new-to-you' Subaru should feel modern and connected. That's why we include a 3-month trial subscription to SiriusXM® satellite radio and a trial of the STARLINK® Safety Plus Package (on equipped models). Enjoy premium entertainment and the security of automatic collision notification from day one.

One of the best-kept secrets of the Certified Pre-Owned program is the access to special financing. Because Subaru has so much confidence in these vehicles, Subaru Motors Finance often offers interest rates for CPO models that are significantly lower than standard used car loans. In some cases, these rates rival what you would find for a brand-new vehicle, potentially saving you thousands of dollars in interest over the life of the loan. Furthermore, a CPO designation helps preserve the vehicle's resale value. When it eventually comes time to trade your vehicle in again, having proof that it was a Certified Pre-Owned unit—and that you maintained it at Hawk Subaru—adds tangible value. Subaru vehicles already lead the industry in residual value awards from ALG and Kelley Blue Book; the CPO program only enhances that reputation. Browse Used Inventory to find your value-packed match.

Plainfield and Joliet residents know that winter weather isn't just an inconvenience—it's a safety concern. Subaru’s Symmetrical All-Wheel Drive system is unique because it is designed for permanent engagement. Unlike 'on-demand' systems found in many competitors that only engage after a slip is detected, Subaru's system is always sending power to all four wheels. This provides instantaneous traction and stability on icy patches or slushy corners. When you buy a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru, you are ensuring this system has been tested under load and verified for performance. Our technicians check the differential fluids and the CV axles to ensure the drivetrain is robust enough to handle the 60586 winters for years to come. Pair this with Subaru's generous ground clearance, and you have a vehicle that won't leave you stranded when the snowplows haven't made it to your neighborhood yet.

Transitioning into a Certified Pre-Owned Subaru is even easier when you trade in your current vehicle. At Hawk Subaru, we pride ourselves on offering fair, market-reflective values for all makes and models. Whether you're currently driving an older Subaru or another brand entirely, we want to help you maximize your buying power. Using our online tool, you can get an estimate of your vehicle's worth in minutes. This allows you to plan your budget with confidence before you even set foot in our Plainfield showroom. We handle all the paperwork and the payoff of your current loan, making the process as stress-free as possible. Value Your Trade-In today and see how much you can put toward your CPO upgrade.

Safety is the cornerstone of the Subaru brand. Many of our Certified Pre-Owned models come equipped with EyeSight® Driver Assist Technology. This system acts like an extra set of eyes on the road, providing Pre-Collision Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. By choosing a CPO model from the last few years, you are getting cutting-edge safety features that were once reserved for luxury vehicles. During the 152-point inspection, we specifically verify the calibration of these cameras and sensors. We want to ensure that if the car needs to intervene to prevent an accident, it does so with precision. For families in Plainfield, this added layer of protection is often the deciding factor in choosing a CPO Subaru over a competitor.

Did you know that 97% of Subaru vehicles sold in the last 10 years are still on the road today? This isn't just a marketing slogan; it's a testament to the build quality and the effectiveness of the CPO program in keeping vehicles in prime condition. When you drive a CPO Subaru, you're driving a vehicle built to survive and protect.
