My wife and I were unexpectedly in need of a vehicle. Working as a manager at a local automotive repair shop I see a lot of vehicles from local dealers for inspections. The quality of vehicles that Certified Motors brings in and by recommendations from their customers I knew I had to call Ray first. Ray inquired about what type of vehicle we were interested in. I informed him either a Malibu or Fusion. He told me he had a 2012 Ford Fusion with 36k miles on it with only one previous owner. He offered to have his mechanic Eric bring it down to my shop to have one of our ASE certified mechanics give it an inspection. My mechanics went over the car with a fine tooth comb. They found no problems with it. The body, interior and suspension were all in excellent condition. I took my wife to his dealership that night to see what she thought about the vehicle. Ray greeted us and asked if we wanted to test drive it and see how it handled and drove. My wife fell in love with the car after driving it and seeing how smooth it drove. She was extremely impressed with the whole condition of the car. Ray provided us with a car fax which gave us the mechanical history of the car. We had a Ford Taurus that was not drivable due to an broken transmission. Ray offered to give us way more for the vehicle than anyone else did. By several hundred dollars in fact. I did shop around other dealers for the similar car. I found for the comparable year and miles, Ray was the best price by far. No one else came close to his price. Ray, his wife Lori made the purchasing of the car a piece of cake. They have a mechanic Eric that works there and makes sure all vehicles are in great running order before they drive off his lot. The day before we picked up the car we stopped by to ask a couple of questions. Eric was doing another inspection on the car to make sure nothing was missed. That made us feel even more confident in the decision we made to purchase the Fusion from Ray. I talked to other repair facilities in the area and they also recommended Certified Motors and the vehicles they sell. It really says a lot about a place when even competitors say great things about them. If you are in a need of a use vehicle definitely call Ray, my wife and I could not be any happier with this car buying experience. Even though we dont look forward to having to buy another vehicle in the future. When we do, we will most certainly call Certified Motors.

About a month and a half ago I totaled my car. After fighting with the insurance company for more then a month to just have them total it out and one complaint with the commissioner of insurance later I was ready to purchase a new vehicle. I had my heart set on a 4x4, specifically a Jeep! Initially I was interested in the Jeep Patriot but after doing some research on the CVT transmission I decided to run not walk away from that model. I had always loved the look of the 03-07 Jeep Liberty and while doing my searches I found an 07 Jeep Liberty with 56k miles. I immediately do what we all do. I got really excited and it was all I could think about. I went to the place that was selling it (which will not be named here) on Thursday 03-31-16 and made an inquiry about the vehicle. They said they had it but they were taking it to the repair facility to have recall repairs done on it that never had gotten done. He took my name and phone number and said he would call me when it was back which would be Friday or Monday. The days passed and I heard nothing on Friday so on Monday I made it a point to go there right when they opened because I didnt want to take any chances of it getting sold. Long story made a little shorter they sold it to a person at the repair facility. I was feeling crushed to say the least. I decided to not let it get me down and just get right back down to the business of finding a vehicle. The very first search I did turned up my 06 Jeep Liberty Renegade with 51k miles from the fine folks at Certified Motors! I couldnt believe it. I called and spoke with Ray and he said the ad had just went up. He said he wasnt there yet but another employee Eric was. I rushed straight over! The lot is small and the lobby is quaint but sitting in the office looking around you can tell they take pride in what they do. Eric showed me the car. It was love at first sight. For the paperwork portion I had the pleasure of dealing with Ray and his wife Lori. Ray is a super nice guy, very helpful and informative. You can tell he truly does care about integrity and his reputation unlike the other place I had the displeasure of dealing with. If youre in the market for a vehicle I definitely think you should check these guys out!

This is my second time buying a car from Ray at Certified Motors. Both experiences have been nothing short of perfect. Ray is a straight, honest guy and the communication is second to none. This time around I was sort of in a pinch. After turning in my lease I was in need of a car. I check Certified Motors website and found a 2008 Ford Fusion. Filled out a credit application. Within a couple hours Ray called me and and asked me about my interest of the Fusion. He walked me through step by step of what I needed to do to get approved and into that Fusion. Got all the paperwork done and my wife and I went to Certified to talk with Ray and test drive the Fusion. As I bought a Fusion before I kind of knew what I was getting. After the test drive my wife and I sat down with Ray and he explained to us that he did get us approved and the Fusion was mine if I wanted it. Of course I did!!! As it was a Saturday I couldnt take the car with me that day. I explained to Ray that my and my wifes 1st Wedding Anniversary was that Monday and wanted to spend the day with her. So he said pick it up Tuesday. Tuesday comes and we sit down with Ray to fill out all the paperwork. He explains everything that hes giving you and explains all the papers youre signing. Finally we were done and he handed me the keys. Before we left the lot he said he had a surprise for us. HE BOUGHT MY WIFE FLOWERS!!! How many car lots will buy your wife flowers because of our Anniversary. Ray is a first class guy. I can say with confidence that I can suggest Certified Motors if you need a car. Ray is just 1st class all the way.

We recently contacted Mr. Ray Campise form Certified Motors, whom we had purchased our last vehicle from. I explained that we didnt very much money to work with ($3,000), and asked if he had any inexpensive vans for sale. He said he didnt at this time, but if something came up he would call us. We were going out daily looking at vehicles, but nothing worth considering. 2 days later, Mr. Campise called and said he may have found us what we were looking for. To make a long story short, he was able to procure a 1996 Town and Country van with less than 75,000 miles on it. We went and looked at it, and the price was so reasonable, we bought it! It is in excellent condition, and Mr. Campise said he would not sell us anything that wasnt decent, and he was true to his word. We are so grateful that he went the extra mile to find what we could afford. We cannot praise him any higher, so if you are looking for a good vehicle and want to deal with someone who is reputable, Mr. Campise at Certified Motors is the man you want to see! He will do right by you. A good running vehicle is very important to my family, not only do I need it for numerous doctor appointments, but my son who takes care of my Autistic grandson, needed a reliable vehicle to go to and from work, and take my grandson to his doctor appointments. My son will be coming to Certified Motors in a few weeks to find a good running vehicle for himself so he wont have to use ours al the time. I am sure Mr. Campise will be able to help my son out also. All I can say is Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!
