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.

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

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
