Testimonials

"It's been a great partnership between Catholic Charities and Caritas. They seem to share our mission. The blessing of both missions enables us to concentrate on our clients ... Chris originally came to talk to me about their ideas, how they could save us money and maintain our fleet. Our finance department did an analysis which showed there was a need for this type of service. It's worked out tremendously." 

Monsignor Michael M. Boland

Administrator, President and CEO of Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Chicago

"Caritas has made us more knowledgeable and increased our effectiveness. This is a major step in helping us to better understand and manage our fleet. And we're realizing significant cost reductions as well. This is vitally important to our budgets as revenues and funding aren't increasing ... their fuel card means an unexpected savings of $15,000-$20,000 per year in fuel-related costs alone ... By using our new knowledge and taking advantage of Caritas' purchasing power, we have already saved more than $300,000.”

Cynthia D. Smetana

Director of Finance, Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of Chicago

“When you institute a major change in operations, there’s bound to be some confusion and resistance. Our friends at Caritas Vehicle Services helped us through a major transition by tailoring a program that was easy to understand and implement. They have delivered everything we had hoped for: better management and cost savings. And we have been greatly impressed by their service, timeliness and kindness.”

Business and Finance Administrator, Servants of Mary in Omaha, NE.

“I have found Caritas to be very economical for the Sisters of Mercy. They provide us with excellent service and are the specialist in this industry. We have converted our entire fleet to Caritas, and our fleet is about 600 cars. We are very pleased to be their partner ... Some of the services they provide are: keeping track of our vehicles maintenance records, alerting us when vehicles should be brought in for service, and evaluating whether the service is fair in price and is needed."

Bill Defeo

Fleet Manager, Sisters of Mercy Mid-Atlantic Community

"Caritas Vehicle Services takes the headaches out of purchasing and managing our fleet of vehicles, while giving us the peace of mind that comes with knowing that the cars our sisters drive are safe, efficient, and well maintained." 

Theresa H. Sandok, OSM

President Servants of Mary, Ladysmith, WI.

“I talked to numerous fleet management companies, but Caritas really understood us. I felt that our needs were being listened to and addressed ... Caritas reviewed our current operation and made specific recommendations on how we could better manage our fleet, saving us time and money in the process.”
