Raes Auto Sales - Barrie Used Car Dealership

I found Rae’s Auto through Google, and after reading the reviews and browsing the inventory, I knew I had to visit in person. From the moment we arrived, Ray was considerate of our time, fully honest, and guided us through the entire process with no pressure. Though his business is selling cars, he treats you like family—just like a dad would—making sure you feel comfortable, informed, and confident in your decision. Financing our 2015 Ford Escape with him was seamless. He went above and beyond, ensuring everything was in place—from financing to final detailing—so that when we got the keys, we felt nothing but excitement and peace of mind. For a 10-year-old car, you’d never know it by how immaculate it looks and runs. Ray only sells vehicles he trusts and would drive himself, and that speaks volumes. If you're looking to buy or finance a car, I highly recommend supporting this family business. The experience was truly exceptional, and we’ll absolutely be returning to Ray when it’s time for our next vehicle. And even though we absolutely love our new car, we’re a little sad the process is over because we had such a great time doing business with Ray and having conversations along the way. Thank you for everything!

An outstanding experience car shopping with my hubby, it couldn’t get any easier than that, honestly no gimmicks, no pressure, a stress free experience, Ray was very helpful, honest, kind and friendly . Our CHR is practically brand new, certified, very low mileage, super clean, and already had winter tires on ready to go, he also added many extras!🙏🏻😊 It was a pleasure doing business with him, again thanks so much Ray.

Ray is a great guy that deals in great cars! He was a pleasure to do business with, considerate of our time and financial situation, he made an effort to ensure our payments are manageable and we got the vehicle quickly. Always thinking of others, he helped us and another person through us. It was a joy and a blessing working together. I highly recommend him. Thanks Ray!

I had been searching for a vehicle that fit my needs for awhile, being frustrated online sales and local car dealers not having what I was looking for. I met Ray when l was searching and he worked with me to find the right van, very solid runner and very reliable. This vehicle looks great, and was more than I expected! Thanks Ray, you went above and beyond. Definitely will be a repeat customer. Dave Walton

Just bought my second car from RAES Auto Sales. It was a great experience overall. Ray understood how important of an investment this was to me and was very fair and honest. He even threw in a couple of extras to save me some expenses. I highly recommend working with Ray if you are looking to buy a good reliable used vehicle.

It was my first time buying a car and Ray made sure I had nothing short of a great, hassle free experience. He was very explanatory and I felt like he actually cared about not only making the sale, but also making sure I was happy as a buyer and driver. He handled my safety, got me a decent deal on winter tires, and gave me tips on how to make the most of my purchase....

I have had bad experiences with other used car places in Barrie, lies and fake safety certificates...So it was a dream to find Ray! I could not be more happy with the Subaru I bought last week for my son. Ray was a great fellow to buy from, honest and straight. He saftied the vehicle for us, and when a small leak was detected in the oilpan after it was saftied he replac...

My wife and I bought a Ford Escape from R.A.E.S. last February and absolutely love it. Ray is a great guy to deal with and we've been happy not just with the vehicle but also the customer service. The price was very fair and the extended warranty that we were able to get gives us some added assurance and piece of mind.

Outstanding! We got a great deal on a solid 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander. Couldn’t imagine getting better service and support from another car dealer in the area. Ray is a really genuine nice guy who brightens any room he’s in. He’s knowledgeable, generous and friendly — and the beating heart of this family business. If you’re in Barrie and the area or even in the GTA, and..

Recently had the opportunity to purchase a vehicle from Ray! It was an extremely positive and enjoyable experience! Ray was very informative and knowledgeable about the vehicles on his lot! Ray's prices were very reasonable, and there was no pressure to buy, at any time! I would definitely recommend my family and friends to go see Ray for their next vehicle
