At the center of Tony’s heart and the motivation for his success

Tony takes great effort in making sure the cars being sold are
problem-free for the purchaser. Tony personally buys over 100
cars each month and runs a Carfax report on each of them,
making sure they don’t have a bad history or a salvage title. He
then has his certified onsite mechanics do a 26 point inspection.
Next,Tony has them make sure that the car is in alignment, has all
of the fluids, has good tires, and that all of the sensors are perfect.
The cars are then cleaned and put up for sale. Tony believes in
going above and beyond in providing the best service and that his
reputation is everything to him.
Always the hardest worker that one could ever meet,Tony believes in being involved in the management and the hourly business operations six days a week, Monday through Saturday from
8AM to 8PM. Tony is always looking for qualified, like-minded
people to come onboard and be part of his team who can fill
leadership roles as Tony expands the company. Tony reiterates,
“I believe that if you work hard in your life and you help others,
that you will achieve anything you want in life, this is me, and this
is what I believe! “
Tony and Georgette have three children. Their first child, Natasha, was born in 1991 and two years later, their second daughter,
Savannah, was born. Last but not least, Tony Jr., was born three
years after Savannah. While Tony has always worked hard to have
the best company, Georgette has worked equally hard to raise a
beautiful family. Although Tony, Jr. is working at the dealership, one
day he would like to be a petroleum engineer and Tony is making
sure he gets what he wants.
15 years ago, Tony and Georgette became naturalized citizens. It was one of the proudest days in Tony’s life because he
feels that the United States has given him so much and allowed
him to become a better person. He states, “The U.S. has given
me an opportunity to be a better father and raise a wonderful family.” As an extension of Tony’s immense appreciation of
being a citizen of the U.S., it is his dream to become a public
servant for his District one day and give back to this country all
which he has been given.

“You build on failure. You use it as a stepping stone.
Close the door on the past. You don’t try to forget the
mistakes, but you don’t dwell on it. You don’t let it have
any of your energy, or any of your time, or any of your
space.” - Johnny Cash
As a conservative Republican with strong, family values, Tony
chose to run in 2014 for State Representative in District 150. A

resident and businessman in the community for over 25 years,
Tony started observing the decline in the area when the economy took a downward turn. He observed many businesses
closing down and undesirable businesses opening in their place
such as massage parlors or places where illegal activity was going
on. The incumbent apparently was sitting on her laurels after she
was first elected and never to be heard of again in Tony’s community. It wasn’t until Tony threw his hat into the arena did she
resurface. Even then, she never offered solutions to the problems in the community, probably because she had no idea what
they were! As a first time politician, it became an eye-opening
experience for Tony. Instead of running a clean campaign that
dealt with the issues, the obviously insecure incumbent along
with her cronies chose to “dance a little sidestep” as they played
dirty politics, mudslinging and slandering Tony every ch
