    Robert Certilman

    President

    Robert Certilman was born for the automotive business – quite literally – His father and grandfather were both franchised automobile dealers. Growing up around dealerships helped Robert build his love for the automotive business. Eventually building an Acura franchise in 1987, he became one of the youngest dealer principals in the country.  Aside from a love of cars, Robert has a tremendous love for his family, animals, and children – so much so, that he is heavily involved with the North Shore Animal League, as well as the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization. He often hosts adoption and donation events at Smithtown Acura, as well as other venues.  Robert is truly one who enjoys giving back to the community!
