Exactly 10 years ago, Jack Schneider oversaw the unveiling of the Scottsdale location of his luxury auto dealership, Certified Benz & Beemer. A corner lot dedicated to offering an inventory of gently used and detailed Mercedes-Benz and BMWs, the auto retailer has been a staple of the luxury car community in Scottsdale. Located on the southwest corner of 68th St. and McDowell Rd., Certified Benz & Beemer features 50 service bays, nearly 100 trained employees, and more than 350 vehicles, all ready for immediate purchase.
Fast forward to 2021 and Schneider is having something of DeJa’Vu as he opens his second Scottsdale location. The new location, situated at 6910 E. McDowell Rd., is just a stone’s throw away from the first Scottsdale dealership, overtaking what was previously a Mazda retailer. Filled with modern touches, sleek designs, and plenty of space to view cars from a safe distance, the new dealership hopes to attract a wider audience.
The new location, which, like the other location, will buy select used vehicles and accept consignments, is focusing on pre-owned luxury and performance marques. This has opened the door to more opportunity to reach a wider set of potential buyers under the same reputable banner of Certified Benz & Beemer that people already know to carry into the new decade.
Another way CBB is carrying on into the new decade is by leaning into a more digital-friendly approach to service and sales. With the surge in online shopping in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the personalization and gamification in the greater retail space, it was only a matter of time before the auto sales industry fell in line with the tech-savvy, customer-friendly landscape of online car shopping. This is something that CBB has been in the business of for years.
With its Express Store, for instance, potential buyers can purchase their next car 100-percent online through Certified Benz & Beemer. “Certified Benz & Beemer was able to easily adapt to the online marketplace because it has regularly sold 20-25% of its vehicles to out-of-state customers who purchase on-line,” Schneider says. “The transition to doing even more touch-less purchases and delivery was something that we needed only to expand.”
A detailed list of completed mechanical procedures is offered to every buyer before purchase as well as a 3 month/3,000 mile warranty is standard on all certified vehicles. For peace of mind, a 3 Day Satisfaction Guarantee is also provided on each purchase. And, Certified Benz & Beemer’s staff works with many financial lenders, so the dealership can appropriately offer competitive finance options and rates at the showroom.
Certified Benz & Beemer has been named the Arizona 2021 Used Car Dealer of the Year in overall customer satisfaction by DealerRater.com, one of the many awards they have earned over the years.
