    I began searching online for a used car and was contacted by many dealerships. One of the first to…read morereach out was Liz from Honda of Toms River. Her friendly tone and willingness to listen made me feel at ease. Over the course of a few phone calls and texts, I explained exactly what I needed, including the type of car, my payment limit, and that I was looking to work with someone I could trust. Based on our communication, I believed Liz would be the person I would be meeting with in person. When I arrived for my appointment, I told the front desk I was there to meet Liz. I then overheard the receptionist ask, "Who's next on rotation?", an immediate red flag. A salesperson named Emily soon came to greet me. I explained that I had been dealing directly with Liz, and only then did I learn that Liz works in Internet sales and would not be assisting me personally. This was never disclosed to me at any point, despite multiple conversations beforehand. When I asked to speak with Liz and described my disappointment, she became defensive instead of taking responsibility. Her justification was that I "never asked her what her title was." To me, withholding that information after days of communication was misleading and unprofessional. Trust is a key part of any large purchase, and once it's broken, it's hard to restore. While I did receive follow-up calls and messages from management, Liz and Emily afterward, the integrity of that first interaction could not be repaired. I chose not to continue working with Honda of Toms River because transparency and accountability are non-negotiable qualities in customer service. I hope management ensures that future customers are given clear, honest communication from the start. Stephanie L. Toms River

When it came to number Matt went over and explained all the numbers. What was MORE shocking was i didnt even ask for a discount and they gave me a incredible discount normally when you go to a dealership they basically say this is the number! NOT here they welcomed me with open arms gave me a better deal then i ever expected. everything went so smooth No wonder why there dealer WAS PACKED they were giving out free GRILLS to people for the holiday i never seen anything like it in my life. everything went so smooth and i already knew what i was expecting while it was packed because they told me ahead of time but even when i was waiting they gave me food, condiments, and prizes. i could not believe as i was looking around i saw customers happy laughing, experiencing the same experience i was receiving. They really know what they are doing at this dealership. when i got home i received a phone call from Martin Damato and halim asking if there was anything else they could do and EXPLAINED that when my PLATES are ready they will lhave them overnight ed to me. thank you pine belt nissan for making this process as easy as possible it well worth the wait and thank you again. as we all know buying a car is a difficult process but this dealer understands it and they really do make you feel part of the family!

Ryan was patient, knowledgeable, and never pushy--he took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything clearly. Although it took a long time and some back and fourth, I ended up walking out with a new car.It was completely worth it because I felt confident and taken care of throughout the entire process. I also want to give a big shoutout to Sal, who was super helpful with all the paperwork and made that part of the experience easy and stress-free. Overall, it was a great car-buying experience!

Looking for a Santa Fe Hybrid limited and quickly was led to the Calligraphy model. I was given a trade-in price from them on line only to find it reduced by over 2 grand on the final paper work. The straw that broke the camel's back was the refusal to cover 5 years of comp oil changes. The other 2 dealers I checked continue to offer these. I felt high pressure and think the dealership did nothing to help make me a customer. Happily I found the best deal, with no deviations, from a Hyundai competitor nearby. Totally disillusioned and disappointed by this dealership

Last week I brought the car to the service department in Toms River for an oil change. When the job was done, Greg, the service writer, told me that my alternator is going to fail. I said how do you know? He said we can tell when we scan the battery that the alternator is going bad. I said really? So I asked, "What does a new alternator cost?" He says $870.00. I said I can't do that right now. So he says, "Well, don't drive far, it can stop working at any time. Watch your lights, they'll stop working".I drive to Stamford once a month, so I was concerned. When I got home, I checked the paperwork and realized that there was no diagnostic run on my car to prove his claim. Also, on my way home i noticed that my blind side lights or rear backup alert did not work. They were working when I drove there... My BIL is a Certified Toyota mechanic, so I called him. He took my car to the dealership and checked it out. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ALTERNATOR!!! The button for the alerts had been turned off. I had a good experience buying my car and just continued to use their auto shop. Unfortunately, because of Greg, they just lost a customer. Did he see a woman come in for an oil change and figure he could make an easy commission by lying to me? My gut told me something was off when he was speaking to me, and I was right. Don't use their auto shop. They will rip you off! UPDATE. I have been contacted by corporate regarding my review. They said that they are upset that this happened and are very sorry. They say that the service writer has been talked to about this. In the past, I have had good experiences in the auto shop with service writers Chris and Maria. I have been assured that this won't happen again. I was instructed to contact the service manager next time I bring my car in... Thank you for reaching out.

Upon a recent trip to the dealership I became aware that the dealership changed hands and is now Celebrity Ford, new ownership. I needed new brakes and the service/service team were all fine. However, Celebrity Ford is now charging it's customers a 3% fee to use their credit card. Upon further inspection, I was charged $20.00 for "CUSTOMER PAY SHOP CHARGE FOR REPAIR ORDER" What the hell is that? As if the 3% egregious extortion fee just to use your credit card isn't enough, I have to pay an extra $20.00 for what? People - Stop paying and patroning businesses that are charging YOU to use your credit card. IT IS THE COST OF DOING BUSINESS. PERIOD. The convenience of credit is the responsibility of the business owner, NOT YOU! It's unconscionable and immoral. Like we are not paying enough. Auto repairs NEVER come at a good time and the repairs could cost thousands of dollars, of course the majority of people are going to need their credit card to get their car fixed to take the kids to school and go to work; how dare you? If credit card companies are charging too much, go after them - NOT US. GOOD JOB TWISTING THE KNIFE ON YOUR CUSTOMERS. Sincerely, former customer of Celebrity Ford.

I have been a loyal customer of Gateway Toyota for the past 2.5 years and own a 2024 Camry. Unfortunately, my recent service experience has caused me to lose confidence in their service department. In April 2026, at approximately 64,000 miles, Gateway Toyota performed rear brake service on my vehicle. Less than two months later, at around 67,000 miles, I began hearing a grinding noise when braking and brought the car back for inspection. After waiting nearly 3 hours for a diagnosis, I was informed that the left rear brake caliper needed to be replaced. This was also the first service visit where I did not receive the usual mechanic video inspection that Gateway Toyota typically provides. When I asked why no video was provided, the service advisor could not give me an explanation. I expressed my concern to both the service advisor and Service Manager Eric Mahan that a rear caliper requiring replacement only a few thousand miles after a brake job seemed highly unusual, especially considering that their technicians were the last people to service that area of the vehicle. Rather than providing an explanation for why the caliper failed, I was told that calipers are considered wear-and-tear items. Gateway offered to cover labor but insisted that I pay $408 for the caliper and bracket, while denying any possibility that the issue could be related to the prior brake service. What concerns me most is the timing of the failure, the lack of explanation regarding the missing technician video, and the unwillingness to take responsibility for a component failure that occurred shortly after their brake work was performed. I encourage anyone using their service department to carefully review repair recommendations, ask detailed questions, and consider obtaining a second opinion when significant repairs are recommended shortly after previous service.
