I transitioned to the automotive industry after 20 years in the insurance business. I've spent the last 8 years as a finance manager, but recently made the move back to sales. My wife and I are relatively new to Arizona since moving here from the Seattle area, and love spending my spare time as an avid cyclist and anything outdoors.

Tom was great in helping me achieve my dream of purchasing a Porsche 911. As an out of state buyer (I'm in San Diego but have family in the Phoenix area) it was refreshing to work with a dealer wh purchasing a Porsche 911. As an out of state buyer (I'm in San Diego but have family in the Phoenix area) it was refreshing to work with a dealer who was able to do all the paperwork virtually a few days before I got to Phoenix. When I got to the dealer to pick up the car we simply drove it to the gas station to fill it up as part of my "inspection" and then he handed me the keys and paperwork and asked if I had any questions. He also joked with my dad who dropped me off at the dealer. The car was exactly as described and I was pretty much in and out in 10 mins. I would highly recommend working with Tom at Certified Benz & Beemer -Eric More

I recently purchased a BMW 330i (4‑cylinder turbo) from Certified Benz & Beemer, and I worked with Andy, who was excellent throughout the process. He was patient while I evaluated whether the 330i had enou Certified Benz & Beemer, and I worked with Andy, who was excellent throughout the process. He was patient while I evaluated whether the 330i had enough zip for my driving style, and he even encouraged me to try the 530e Hybrid. The hybrid was smooth but didn’t have the same boost, so I ultimately stayed with the 330i. Andy made the experience easy, informative, and pressure‑free. Five stars for Andy — highly recommended.

I could not find the vehicle I wanted in Tucson, where I live, so I started looking on-line in the Phoenix area and found just what I was looking for at Certified Benz & Beemer. Everyone I dealt with over t live, so I started looking on-line in the Phoenix area and found just what I was looking for at Certified Benz & Beemer. Everyone I dealt with over the phone was considerate and helpful. I made the purchase on-line and the car was delivered to Tucson. Mat was awesome in keeping me up to date, providing videos of the car, and after I got the car, even Face Timing with me while I was in it to explain how to use features in the car and to connect my cellphone.

Certified Benz & Beemer is not even in my state, and I’d drive to them to buy or sell a car again. Scott Bailey made the process of buying a car so easy and nice that I think I’m spoiled now. If I don’t get drive to them to buy or sell a car again. Scott Bailey made the process of buying a car so easy and nice that I think I’m spoiled now. If I don’t get that same level of service on another transaction, I will be disappointed! Scott is an excellent communicator and seems like a tireless worker. Every question I asked via text or email was quickly answered (even after normal business hours). Fair pricing, outstanding customer service, and concierge treatment… what more can you ask for? More
