I would like to give Kudos and a heartfelt Thank You to Tony Hernandez in sales for assisting with a seamless auto sale of our beautiful Infiniti Q60 Red Sport. He was so pleasant, easy to talk to and an attentive Car Salesman. I would definitely refer family and friends to him. From the moment we walked through the doors and was greeted, to dealing with Tony, to when he handed us our keys it was a very good experience. Thank you Tony and the Team at Square One Auto. read more

Square One Auto - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

Crap business model, they list cars under market prices and then mark up 50% fees that make no sense (delivery...paint protection). So yeah stay away a total waste of time unless you want to negotiate with scrupulous tactics. Stay away read more

Square One Auto - There you go get a $21K car and fees to $32k stay away folks, this is not a place to do business. - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

See all

DO NOT BUT FROM THESE CON ARTISTS!!!!! They have a bait & switch scam that if you read other comments like I did (after I met them) you become well acquainted with. A car was in advertised as one thing, but was informed when I wanted to pay cash that I had to pay double. Then the manager was VERY rude about it. And actually told me that everywhere did pricing like this. Of course everywhere I went after did not do this, and cash was king. These people have a scam going, and I HIGHLY recommend not going here unless you really have to use the bathroom........and then get out of there as fast as possible! read more

The worse dealership ever. Carlos lied about including a warranty to encourage us to buy the vehicle when we were no longer sure and when reviewing the final documents he charged us $5000. He told us it was a 2 year power train coverage. I just brought the car to the shop and found out he never sold us a power train warranty like he stated. STAY AWAY! THEY ONLY WANT YOUR MONEY! Very bad, very very bad. read more

One star -- would leave zero if I could. Despite all the negative reviews online, I decided to give Square One Auto a chance. Their prices looked amazing -- too good to be true -- but I figured I'd call and verify before jumping to conclusions. Turns out, the car I was looking at would cost $7,000-$8,000 more out the door than the price listed online. That was disappointing, but I was still interested because the vehicle was exactly the variation I wanted. Unfortunately, getting in touch with anyone was a nightmare. I called around 10 times, and most calls ended with a receptionist transferring me to a salesperson who never answered. Out of all those attempts, I only got through twice. I left messages, but it felt like they were actively avoiding me. Eventually, they increased the listed price by $9,000 -- after we had already started talking numbers. That was the final straw. I'm now convinced this is a full bait-and-switch operation. They list cars at incredibly low prices to lure people in, then stack on massive, undisclosed fees or raise the price altogether once you're engaged. I almost paid for a private inspection and wasted even more time and money. This place is not worth the hassle or the risk. read more

Purchased on January 3, 2026 a 2022 White Cadillac XT4 from Maxim. Drove 45 minutes from home to dealership made the deal got back to my home when the oil light came on. following day I got under the car to look for oil leak found that the drain plug was cracked and the oil was everywhere under the car. The oil had never been changed and the engine guard, a very important part, was missing under car. Called Max on Monday he said he would speak to manager and get back to me. Manager or Max never called me back to date. Being a certified mechanic for 42 years it cost me $170 plus my time to repair a problem that should have been detected there before vehicle left their dealership. Do not recommend buying a vehicle at this dealership they are all about the sale and not the condition of the vehicle. Many bad reviews with BB Bureau unfortunately dealership is not affiliated for obvious reasons. Ted Tkacs read more

Never have I been to a sleazier car dealership. Took a 3 hour train to get there after I got off the phone confirming the price of the car at 22400, get there, place is blasting music and it's like the whole place is run by children. Was stuck at the dealership for 2 hours waiting for them to show me the numbers so I could confirm what I heard on the phone. Was called into the financial office and they managed to find a way to add 9000$ in dealership fees (this number is not including the registration, sales tax or things typically found at most dealerships) and the greasiest financial guy tried to argue how that was fair, 4000$ of it being the inspection they did on the car, which i've never heard of a dealership making the customer pay for at car purchase. Wasted an entire day based on a lie to sit inside of what felt like a pimps dream house. Square 1 Auto worst dealership in U.S read more

This place is ass! All of their cars are clapped, they have the worst customer service. I have been waiting for parts and plates to come in over two months. The car was in an accident but wasn't reported and they acted like they didn't know. Majority of the cars here are rusted dusted and just clapppppped. The receptionist never knows anything. I reported them to the BBB and not to mention all of their reviews are fake to cover up the bull shit they be on! I regret ever buying here and will never ever in my life do business here again and will go out of my way to make sure no one else goes through this!! read more

This place is THE WORST. I came to buy a car today, and ALL of the alarms for EVERY car on the lot were going off. STAY AWAY. The owner, Lee, is particularly noxious. read more

Trash a$$ dealership........ I don't know what's going on over there at this place but they need to get it together. Communication skills are very very very unprofessional. Here inquired about a car told the car was sold just to be told the car wasn't sold by another salesman, then give them all our information they run our credit. Tell us we got approved and then stop answering with no explanation with no reason called several times blatantly got ignored by our original salesman this place is trash would never recommend them to anyone. I see why this has one star very unprofessional cars will probably break down in anyway. Good thing I didn't get a car here. read more

Schedulled and Appointment to test drive a 2019 Audi S4. Priced at 26,900 on their website... Test Drove vehicle, loved it, initiated the process, got approved as a Tier 1, i offered 12,000 down. Finance manager attempted to rush me into signing documents. I cautioned Manager to further highlight overall tsxes and fees. Finance Manager " Mike" quoted final price at 41,567. Price inflated from 26,900 to 41,567. Clearly inconsistent with the advertised price. Bluebook value of this car is between 24k and 29k. DO NOT TRUST THIS CAR DEALER. THEY DO NOT HAVE YOUR BEST INTEREST... COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT... read more

Do Not buy from Square One auto they are shady crooks.after the purchase of a vehicle of over $53,000 and giving them a large down payment of $25,000 the vehicle had to be brought to a service shop needing over $12,000 in repairs within the first week on buying.neither the dealership or the warranty thru Ally extended protection want to do anything to fix it.was charged a $4000 reconditioning fee from dealership but they didn't even change the windshield wipers wich were ripped and falling apart so currently paying for a vehicle I can't drive and taking all legal actions in order to hold them accountable and have what i payed for a properly running car. read more

STAY AWAY!!! I honestly don't know how they are still in business. We purchased a car, brought it in 3 times within the first 30 days, never fixed. They still to this day won't tell us what was wrong. Finally brought to my mechanic, the transfer case is shot and could be up to $4,000 to fix. They have blocked my emails and won't return my calls. Horrible people, don't let them being nice to your face fool you. I have to go to an Attorney now to hopefully get them to fix it. read more

Classic bait and switch. They offer a low advertised price than hit you with 12000 dollars in fees. I just left to look at a Land Rover Defender . Drove over an hour and when they ran my credit I was shocked at the monthly payment. I found out that the sticker price left out all their value added fees. Reported the company to better business bureau read more

My daughter and I purchased a vehicle from square one auto. We traded a car in January 2025 5 months later they still did not pay off the traded in vehicle. Which caused my daughter to get numerous late payments that messed up her credit score.We notified square one auto numerous times and they kept saying they were going to pay it, but they never did so we finally had to go to civil court to file a complaint and also filed with the Better Business Bureau to get this resolved. We spoke to both managers numerous times Lee Morant And Melvin Morales. My advice is do not buy anything from this location or trade anything in. My daughter had to wind up paying for two vehicles. The one she bought from them and for the trade-in, Which she was barely able to afford, but had no choice because of The companies refusal to pay off the trade in vehicle. I would've gave them zero stars, but I had to Put down something read more

Worst Place to buy a car from, bought our 2020 Jeep Wrangler from this dealership june of 2024, from the get go it was all lies, price was quoted then they tacked on services they never did, like cleaning up jeep before buying, we actually had to head to Auto Zone and buy new Windshield wipers because our where all ripped up, and dealership didn't have replacements, jeep was never even vacuumed found candy bar wrapping under seat, we had to wait 4 hours just to get car because they where supposely cleaning and getting it ready.. Next they tacked on a fee for just in case you lose your keys, our jeep only came with one set, they said the insurance we had to pay $350 covered this, they never sent the money to company that insures this, and I had to pay for a replacement set of keys out of my own pocket $459.00, called them over 20 times either never to be answered or put on hold or told they would send me money back, they never did.. Do not buy a car from here unless you want to get ripped off, from Saleman to accounting to head boss, all Liars.. Michael read more

Improve ? They should go out of business. I too got caught with their bait n switch tactic . I bought a truck from them to do business. I'm in the used car business so I'm able to find out certain things . I gave them $1000 to get my out of state registration and plates . I know that it only takes 1 day in the state I wanted it registered in for everything to go through as long as your paperwork is correct. These people sold me a truck without even having the title . So they keep giving me the run around talking about their dmv manager said 2 weeks , next week ,etc. . I've had 2 temp tags from this place and haven't been able to drive the truck for business yet because of all of this . Furthermore I've paid 2 car notes and I have to keep the truck waiting . And I knew the truck had recalls on it before I bought it . But I took the truck into a ram dealership for the recalls and they told me the vehicle was short 4 quarts of oil . So I could have blown my motor had I not gotten everything checked out . What kind of dealership does that ? Sell you a vehicle without all the liquids atleast topped off . I too was asked to make a statement on the service before I left . I truly wish I hadn't !!! You can never reach anyone at the dealership to talk to . I call and a AI service comes on saying her name is Mandy on every line you call at this dealership. No good . My sales guy was cool . But the dealership and the way they handle business should be left for the better business bureau to regulate !!!! Bell Mitsubishi sucks big ASS !!!! In order for yelp to post your story you have to give stars . They deserve minus stars !!!! read more

I test drive the car. Jeff helped me with finance. It was a quick process. Mike explained my coverages. read more

Square One Auto - Used Car Dealers Near Me - Rahway, New Jersey

The classic bait-and-switch operation. They'll list cars below market to get people in. Then when it comes time to discuss taxes and fees they load up the sale with insane dealer's fees. The thing is, the car I looked at was so under-priced per KBB, it was still a decent deal even with a crazy $3000 destination fee (lol). But it leaves a bad taste in your mouth nonetheless. Also, if a dealership is going to add these BS fees, they're only inviting the customer to haggle and argue. Then the sales associates feign shock when you tell them a $900 doc fee or a $2000 "protective coat" isn't happening. Got out under the price we went in willing to pay... but knowing we paid nearly 25-30% of the (admittedly reduced) listing price in dealer fees is just annoying. And frankly, it's an amateurish, dishonest way of running a business. read more

I read the bad reviews and thought I would give a shot. The reviews were correct. When it came time to make the deal they tried to add about 14k additional to the sticker price. If you want to pay 14k over sticker this is the place for you. read more

I called this dealership serval times and I have never been so annoyed before in my LIFE!!!! Every time I call I'm on the phone for 15 minutes and I wait so long on hold I get rerouted back to the representative. than the car I wanted the whole time was already sold and they wasted my time running my credit!!! I am disappointed and disgusted by the type of business you guys are running here! Very very unprofessional and I hope people stay away. You guys hit all the red flags I'm happy I didn't get the car, probably is a lemon. I put pictures below how many times I called them within barley 2 days to get aResponse. read more

Dealer has a nice selection of used luxury cars at a good price but their business practices and attention to detail leave a lot to be desired. Beware the advertised price. You only get that price on two conditions: you finance with them and you are a returning customer. While I have no doubt that the fine print on the website indicated this, it is still incredibly deceptive. I had secured a car loan though my bank at a good rate. To get me to finance through them, in order to earn the $1,000 discount that was baked into the advertised price, they encouraged me to finance through them and refinance through my bank after making a couple of payments. What they didn't tell me was that the rates for refinancing are much higher than the rates for an original loan.  I'm now stuck with a high interest rate loan that's going to cost me more than the thousand bucks I saved. Beware this gambit. When my right front tire blew out on the highway only one week after purchase, I discovered that my car had four *different* tires and only one was run flat (as needed for a 2021 BMW with no spare tire). When I called to tell Square One what happened, I was informed that my car had "four good tires" when they sold it to me and that was all they were responsible for. I took delivery of my car at night and didn't notice until the next day that the interior of the rear window was covered in glue residue form poorly removed window tinting and there was dried up window tint in the 3rd brake light cavity. A few weeks later, when my wife used the back seat for the first time, we discovered a spill in the passenger seat back pocket that was clearly quite old. Square One did not give this car a thorough inspection and cleaning before delivery. To top it off, when I made an appointment (first thing in the morning) to have these issues cleaned up, I had to wait 2.5 hours because they were "backed up". They clearly had no respect for my time. The sale was made. On to the next sale. Bottom line: buyer beware. The sales staff is very friendly and will make every effort to secure a sale. It is up to you to make sure the car meets your expectations before you sign on the dotted line. read more

Don't Ever buy a car from here. listen to the 1 star reviews car got issues less than a month after purchasing. all those 5 stars reviews they got is fake. they literally took my sister phone wrote themself a good review. been a month i didn't even get to drive the car and didn't get my license plate worst dealership ever read more

Please stay away from this dealership nothing but a scam. They advertise a vehicle online for $55,000. I went the next day to purchase a vehicle and they kept asking me if I was paying cash or financing. I told him I was paying cash after an hour and a half salesman came back to me to tell me that there's a surcharge premium for paying cash. They took me outside to tell me this so that I probably wouldn't make a scene on the sales floor, I didn't even let him finish his sentence and I told him deal is off and I wanted to walk away. He then brought me back inside and put two pieces of paper. The cash deal was an extra $20,000 making the car 75k. The lease was 68,000 so It had another $13,000 of hidden fees Either way this is one of the worst cases of false advertisement. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this dealership what a scam and what a waste of time. read more

They are horrible! They told me a vehicle had a warranty when it didn't AFTER I flew in from Ohio! They had my itinerary so they knew I was coming to drive the vehicle back. The vehicle needed an O2 sensor and it misfires and they were STILL trying ti get me to drive it back! No warranty they wanted me to purchase one for 6000 which was the price per the GM! I was not reimbursed for my flight, uber and now I'm stuck in Newark heading to the airport to try to car v a last minute flight before this snowstorm. I asked many times and was told everything was ok. Salesman apologized and said it was all on her but that doesn't help me. Bank approval; added vehicle to my insurance and vehicle wasn't even drivable when I arrived. SMH. You see the other reviews STAY AWAY! read more

I'm very pleased with the purchase of my car and want to give a HUGE shout out to Gabby! She went above and beyond for all my needs which made the purchase of my new car a very smooth one. When it comes to negotiating she really tries to work with you and she will stay there late until you leave with something you love. The customer service was the absolute best. read more

i bought a vehicle in july 2025, the financing took almost three weeks to be completed which i've found very odd considering i've bought multiple cars in the past that i've financed. when all was said and done not only did they tack on over 10,000 dollars in fees on my car loan, i have yet to receive my vehicle registration and new plates. i am currently operating with expired temp tags and the owner will not compensate me for such an inconvenience. i paid 450.00 to get registered and plated which they just took my money and have still never submitted payment to the dmv in pennsylvania. they sold me a vehicle without a title, the nj investigator informed me that they sold me this vehicle with a repossessed title. they took 6,000.00 dollars from me as a down payment put warranties in a contract that i didnt sign for. forged all my paperwork with an copy and paste signature. and now im facing impoundment from the philadelphia police because my vehicle isnt registered through no fault of my own. do not purchase from them. read more

Bought my latest obsession with Erick this past weekend, I went in and left with the exact car I had my eye on. Erick and the staff were super helpful and patient throughout the whole process. They worked with me to the best of their ability and I left happy. Thank you Erick and SQ1 y'all are awesome! read more

This business is as shady at they come and the reason many people are wary of used car dealerships. They advertised a truck I am interested in for $52,900, which is a little high, but OK. When I called and asked about fees before I came to see it, I was told I had to finance the vehicle through them or it would be another price. When I asked the cash price, I was told $62,900. read more

Please believe the 1 star reviews. I'm so glad I'm done dealing with them. I've been going back and forth to their shop to bring a car back that they sold me with a check engine light. The whole month after I bought the car it couldn't be driven. They're extremely greedy, rude and the whole experience was a nightmare. The 5 star reviews are from people who literally bought the car and haven't left the lot yet! That's when the chaos starts! AVOID! read more

I would give the sales person that sold us a car 5 stars (I'm sorry I don't recall his name). He wasn't pushy, very polite and professional. However, the company's finance model is borderline criminal and quite frankly disgusting. I literally believe their motto is, give our customers a fair price on their vehicles and then we will absolutely slaughter them on the back end with our fees. We negotiated what we could, but this was EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING. I would not recommended this dealership to anyone. read more

Stay away from Square One. Lying for them is like drinking coffee for us in the morning. Lying is number one sales tool. The online price is just to lure you into dealership. Once you are there looking to buy the car, they start adding to the price: $3000 Customer Loyalty Fee; $4995 Car Preparation Fee; Plus doc fees $899 which is the highest from any normal legal dealership. The sales man states that it's not illegal in NJ to add on top of the advertised online price. Best example of Bait & Switch technique. This dealership should be banned from its car sale activity for its deceptive practice. read more

Do not go here they will rob you. Yes very common for dealerships. But i have been contacting them specifically Diego about getting my bill of sale He has given me the run around for about a month only for him to tell me today that there is no way of getting the bill of sale because they have it in our offsite place where they store personnel documentation, thank God I recorded him because I never heard such bullshit in my life. According to the dmv when i was attempting to register the car, i was charged wrong for the vehicle and the could not figure out what tax they charged me in NJ so she can charge me the difference. She said it simply didn't add up. i just want to put my car on the road and im in the process to moving. DO NOT GO HERE !! read more

I was fortunate to meet Alex when I arrived at Square One. He made the selection of an appropriate car quick and stress free. He also guided me to the financing personnel, registration, and insurance processes. I would highly recommend going to Square One in Rahway and asking for Alex. Nora S. read more

Scam artist.... They will raise the price and put in a BS warranty! Don't make the mistake I wanted the car so bad that I didn't really read the contract until I got home read more

This dealership scammed me. Gave me one price and then jacked me over with the financing.

Erick was a great salesman during the purchase of my new car! 10/10!

My fiancé and I drove almost two hours to this location to purchase a 2020 BMW X1. The asking price was $22,900 all said and done before taxes; they came back with fees coming out of their a$$es, making the grand total of the vehicle almost 40k. No one could explain where those hidden fees came from, not even the manager, himself. He tried throwing all these random numbers at us, trying to convince us those number were accurate. Not only was the finance manager a misogynist (not even making eye contact with me or shaking my hand even though I was the one there buying the vehicle) but everyone at this location is a snake, to say the least. BEWARE: they will tell you the numbers add up - THEY DO NOT. A $22,900 will be $40,000. They bait you in with seemingly good prices and then try to line their pocket. Do a simple comparison WITH ANY finance calculator and see THEY WILL ADD ~$10,000 to line their personal pockets (and say it's going to the lender, BUT IT DOESN'T)! $22,900 with $5,000 cash down = $17,900 financed (before fees). Taxes and fees added up to ~$1,400.... = $24,300. $24,300 + lender's profit was about $31,200. Instead of showing us $31,200 out the door (lifetime loan cost) it was $40,000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They were trying to stuff $8,800 in their pockets and rob us!!!!!!!!!! Do not waste your time here. Literally go anywhere else, you will regret it. BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AVOID LIKE THE PLAUGE! read more

Please Don't Go To This Dealership,I was scammed.They gave me the wrong car and there was no paper work,It was a red flash drive with 10,000$ extra on the exact fee even with a 6,000$ down payment m.Non of the promises was fulfilled.Please and please,don't go to this dealership! read more
