I ran into a car issue, transmission to be exact on Friday, February 20, 2026. I called Auto Lenders to have the service team look at it, diagnose and possibly repair. When I called the service department, I was asked the usual questions. My name, contact number and I was asked was the service for the Honda or Jeep? I said neither it is for the Subaru Outback. He asked if I had another number possibly? I gave an old number nothing came up. He asked if I was sure that I bought the Subaru from Auto Lenders, where I advised I did and it was my third (3) vehicle that I purchased from there. He then asked if I had the VIN which I gave him, to my surprise and his; he informed me that the VIN was still showing to be on the lot and not purchased. I said Sir I bought this car from you guys in June of 2023. He then said he needed to speak to the finance manager and would call me back, because he was showing that I purchased a Honda CRV. I was SHOCKED! I have never had an issue with Auto Lenders; the sales team was always helpful, not pushy and respectful. However, this is not sitting right with me. How could someone mess this up? I did call my auto lender, Capital One to verify they had the Subaru Outback information and they do and I also double checked the DMV records. The service guy would not schedule an appointment until this was fixed. My car was not drivable and I called back to speak to the sales department to see if I bought an extended warranty because I could not remember. It was the first time I encountered an Auto Lenders salesman pushing to purchase a vehicle. I advised him I still owe $17,000, the car was not drivable and I live 35 minutes away, can they help with a tow? He said if I purchased another vehicle, yes. What about getting the car looked at to be serviced? No. I understand clerical errors happen however for me the consumer, this is a big mess up. Although the paper work is now corrected, I believe someone in the corporate office should be aware of this error. I am an Office Administrator for a radiology company and if a mess up like this happens, it is imperative that I know and correct the issue. I have since taken my car to a transmission shop where it is being replaced. I never received an apology from anyone, no manager called me to explain anything, and the stress this caused was intense. In the past I have bought a 2012 Honda Accord, 2015 Jeep Patriot and 2016 Subaru Outback, all from the Toms River, NJ location. I hope this error never happens to anyone else and I hope your team, ensures the double check data while inputting.

**Gateway Toyota -- Lost a loyal customer**…read more Gateway Toyota and Sales GM Anthony should be ashamed. We have been a loyal Gateway Toyota customer for years and have referred numerous people to this dealership. A significant reason for that loyalty has been our sales associate Tarek, whose professionalism, transparency, and straightforward approach made every transaction a genuinely positive experience. That goodwill was squandered in a single interaction with Anthony, the general sales manager. We visited to purchase a vehicle based on an active listing on the dealership's website and brought documentation of that listing with me. Anthony refused to honor the advertised information and instead attempted to upsell options that were not part of the original listing. After I left, the listing was quietly altered. That is not a misunderstanding or a miscommunication. That is a breach of trust, and frankly, it calls into question the integrity of how this dealership operates at the management level. Because of that experience, we will not be returning, nor will we continue recommending the dealership to others. It is a genuinely unfortunate outcome, because salespeople like Tarek are precisely the reason customers remain loyal. It is a shame that one decision by management is what they will be remembered for. [Zero stars for management, 5 stars for Tarek.] [Edit] Anthony claims they can't sell any car without "an appearance package", which cost ~$3,570, which oddly enough, using price tracking sites, they have added and removed since first listing on their site. Overall they had over $5000 on dealer adds, which they wouldn't consider negotiating AT ALL. Well done Anthony! Stay away from these bait and switch tactics. RUN, don't walk, away from Gateway Toyota. Greg, you lost a loyal customer and a recommendation source. Word of mouth goes two ways!

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.

BUYER BEWARE. My…read morehusband and I purchased a used vehicle from this dealership YESTERDAY. We were required to sign paperwork indicating it had passed their inspection, yet we were not given a copy, and absolutely no problems were disclosed to us. Within LESS THAN 24 HOURS, we discovered a headlight and taillight were out, the air conditioning stopped working, and smoke began pouring from one of the wheels--appearing consistent with a seized brake caliper. We no longer consider the vehicle safe to drive. This vehicle was highly misrepresented to us and sold with significant undisclosed problems. Had its actual condition been disclosed, we NEVER would have purchased it. A dealership has a responsibility to properly inspect the vehicles it offers for sale and accurately represent their condition. Either this vehicle was not adequately inspected before being sold, or significant problems were not disclosed to us. Neither is acceptable. We are documenting everything and having the vehicle independently evaluated. We expect the dealership to take responsibility and resolve this appropriately. How they choose to handle this from this point forward will determine our next steps. Until then, I strongly caution anyone considering purchasing a used vehicle from this dealership.

First and foremost ... I HATE buying cars! Just to show you my relationship with the automobile…read more... my last car had 184,000 miles on it when I said goodbye, the car before than had 167,000 miles and the one before than over 190,000 miles. So, I am not your eye bulging car lusting type of man. I want good transportation and then when I need a new car I want a great deal from people I trust. And, that's where Lester Glenn's mega-dealership steps in. I have discovered that Lester Glenn's sales staff are honest and patient. They want to know what you really want and more than likely the fact that they are a mega-dealership means that they will find you your car at a price you will be amazed is actually an option. You will save money and be happy! In addition to not being the type of guy who loves to rev up my engine to impress my neighbors and I don't know if I ever burned rubber out of a stop light to show how macho a guy I am ... I am cheap ... oops thrifty, which means I don't want to overspend when I spend my money. The first time I discovered Lester Glenn, I had already worked a good deal with a local car dealership. I was ok and ready to drive away until someone asked if I had checked with Lester Glenn. Well, Lester Glenn saved me $1500 and when I went back to my dealership they said they couldn't come close so I bought my first Hyundai from them. A friend was buying a Hyundai from a dealer close to his home. I suggested Lester Glenn and he said he didn't want to drive 75 miles to buy a car. I said give me the specifics of the car you are buying ... when I said "do you want to save $1200?" He was on the road to Toms River and is so happy with his purchase. Buying a Hyundai means minimal service work but every time I used Lester Glenn's service department I was treated like family. They have a clean shop with great people. No matter where I move in the future I am pretty sure that Lester Glenn will be where I return. Of course now that I have a new car it won't be for another 180,000 miles or so! They have stores with a wide array of models so Jeep, Chevy, or Hyundai like me ... google them and then make the trip.

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.

There was no impact, no warning--just a loud pop and shattered glass, which was honestly a safety concern. When I brought this to the dealership, I expected some level of urgency, concern, or accountability. Instead, I was met with dismissal and no real effort to help. I was essentially told it was not their problem, despite how quickly this issue occurred after getting the vehicle. A major component of a brand-new leased vehicle should not fail like this, especially within days. The lack of support, empathy, and willingness to investigate or advocate on my behalf was incredibly frustrating. At the very least, I expected the dealership to stand behind the vehicle they leased to me or help escalate the issue with Volkswagen. Instead, I felt completely brushed off. I would strongly caution others to think twice before leasing from here, especially if you expect any level of customer support after you drive off the lot.

I don't even know where to begin with how unacceptable this experience has been…read more We own a 2024 Chevy Trax with under 18,000 miles. A vehicle that is not even two years old. We brought it into Lester Glenn Chevy for something as routine and simple as a tire rotation and balance. That's it. No existing issues. After picking it up, it began violently shaking when braking. We explained--very clearly--that this issue did not exist prior to their service. Suddenly, we're told the rotors are "warped from excessive braking." Excessive braking... on a car that was perfectly fine before it entered your service department? So let's be honest here: if that diagnosis is even accurate, then the only logical conclusion is that something happened while the car was in your possession for those hours. Because it certainly didn't develop overnight sitting in a driveway. When we raised the possibility that a technician may have test-driven the vehicle and braked aggressively, the manager, John, was quick to dismiss it as "unlikely." Not impossible... just "unlikely." And that response alone speaks volumes. What's actually "unlikely" is a low-mileage, well-maintained vehicle magically developing warped rotors immediately after a basic tire service. At best, this is negligence. At worst, it's a refusal to take accountability. Either way, something clearly went wrong while our car was in the dealership's care, and instead of investigating it thoroughly or standing behind your work, we were met with defensiveness and dismissal. This is exactly the kind of experience that makes people lose trust in dealership service departments. We brought it in for a rotation & balance and left with our car in a condition it wasn't in when it was dropped off. The funniest part: we were discussing last week that we were going to buy a second Trax. Not anymore. ETA: Yeah, the general manager kept speaking over me and wouldn't let me talk. When you post a negative review with Lester Glenn, they will follow up, but only to steamroll you. They will say you're lying when you're not. I wonder if gaslighting is part of their management training? The sole purpose of the general manager calling is NOT to resolve the issue, but to coerce you into removing your reviews. The number of negative reviews on various pages speaks volumes. Having a complaint over the phone isn't an issue for them; the ones other people can see are. That's why we didn't a call until the complaint was posted. I could have added more to my review, such as being given conflicting statements and video of what actually is wrong with the car. First we were told brake pads, yet the video we were sent, tech clearly says the brake pads were ok. Then we were told a "rotor was sticking out about 1/4 of an inch" and they could "cut it" for us. There are soooo many dealerships around - with better service teams, managers who listen and not speak over women, don't gaslight their customers, and are actually.. happy to do business. I can toss away this ENTIRE review about what is wrong with our car and rewrite it about how awful they treat and speak to their customers. I don't have to though, because there are entire Reddit threads about it.
