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.

Leandra was absolutely fantastic to work with. We were in a tough spot — vacationing in California while Virginia residents — when our car unexpectedly died and we suddenly needed a replacement fa We were in a tough spot — vacationing in California while Virginia residents — when our car unexpectedly died and we suddenly needed a replacement fast. From the very first call, Leandra and her team knew exactly how to handle the situation. We purchased our used Ford Explorer entirely over the phone, had it shipped to California, and will be registering it back in Virginia. That’s not a simple transaction, but Leandra made it feel effortless. She was extremely knowledgeable, explained everything clearly, and handled the logistics with confidence and professionalism. There was zero pressure at any point — just honest answers, great communication, and a smooth process from start to finish. Delivery was fast, updates were consistent, and everything happened exactly as promised. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely knows what they’re doing, communicates well, and makes a stressful situation easy, Leandra is the person you want. We couldn’t be happier with the experience and would absolutely recommend her to anyone. More

Found the Porsche I was looking for online at Certified Benz & Beemer. Michel helped me purchase the car remotely. I felt confident that I was getting what I wanted without being able to drive it in perso Benz & Beemer. Michel helped me purchase the car remotely. I felt confident that I was getting what I wanted without being able to drive it in person. I was provided multiple personalized walk-through videos and a comprehensive overview of the Porsche’s maintenance history, including additional work that Benz & Beemer in-house. After the purchase, the car was shipped quickly and it arrived as promised, both on-time and in the condition reported. I would certainly consider buying another car from Certified Benz & Beemer in the future. More
