The best experience!
After shopping around for a CR-V Hybrid we had a wonderful experience at DCH Kay Honda in Eatontown NJ. Ron Marino gave us the best deal by far with no hassles or hidden costs. Paul Morrison the Business Manager pleasantly walked us through all the paperwork in easy to understand language. Everyone from the smiling receptionist to the very friendly and helpful service director Ken Kallok helped our customer experience be nothing less than exceptional! 10 stars for DCH Kay Honda! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Highly recommend buying a used 2018 Explorer
This is my fourth Explorer. I decided in 2018 to order the top-of-the-line Platinum. This vehicle has all the bells and whistles for a person that wants the luxury of one of Fords top models. It has Platinum leather seats that are very comfortable. If you can find today, buy it. It has the 3.5L V6 that has great power on acceleration. You can only buy a V6 now on the 2025 Explorer ST which is a 3.0L. The cost is around $60,000 Loaded.

Thank you Steven!
I just had an excellent experience at Salerno Duane. Steven S. was fantastic! He was very professional and so personable. He made this the easiest car buying experience I have ever had. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know. Thank you so much Steven! I love the Explorer!
3rd row seat folding mechanism
Love this car overall but I have only one complaint. I was putting some boxes in the rear of the car and one of the boxes must have touched the the rear seat folding mechanism as all of a sudden it tried to unfold the seats. If my grandchildren had been sitting there strapped in I hate to think what may have happened!! Wish you had coverage over the mechanism so this wouldn’t happen.

Defelice Used Cars and Mark Cohen I give both 5 st
I stopped in to look for a used truck and Mark showed me at least 10 trucks. He listened to what I wanted and needed and he found me a 2009 Ford F150 Crew Cab 4x4. We test drove it and Mark went over everything in the truck with me. I was very pleased. We discussed the price and they took care of the financing. On the way home I opened the drivers side window and it wouldn't go back up. I finally got the power window to work and was able to close it. I called Mark and he had me bring it back in and it was the regulator and they fixed it free of charge.
My dream car
This is my 4th Ford Explorer over the last 20 years and I am very happy. Every time I upgrade is nicer in every aspect. I am glad that after so many people telling me to just go to another style and company, I made the right decision.

A first class experience!
A first class experience! Not enough people are talking about AutoLenders. A relaxed atmosphere from the moment I walked in. My sales consultant Adam in the Lakewood location was outstanding, he was professional, polite, he explained every single detail. This was the first time I’ve purchased a car and felt like they actually wanted to sell the car I wanted. Clinton in the finance department was also outstanding , he was organized and explained everything and made sure I understood everything as well. Please visit this location! Please consider AutoLenders for your car purchase!
Very good car, durable and trustworthy
Love the inside room, 3rd row seat and the fact that the 2nd and 3rd row can be collapsed. Love the rear camera and all of the functions of being able to bring my phone apps up on the screen. So good for our very busy, on the go lifestyle

Highly Recommended
First I have to apologize to Marc and the Lester Glenn Team for taking so long to give a review, but better late than never, So early March I went to Lester Glenn after going to a different dealership, Big Mistake the Vehicle wasn?t the one advertised, So on a whim I drove down to Test Drive the 2021 Explorer I seen online and I believe it was being Certified and they offered me a different one with less mileage and more features but the price was a little higher and after the Test Drive I decided I was going to purchase the Explorer but was going to wait for the other one because of the price but without hesitation they offered me this one for the price of the other Explorer and they were extremely busy that evening everyone was busy but all were so professional and I was expecting to come back and pick it up the next day but No, they stayed after hours helped me clean out my Trade In I say clean out because I really didn?t think I was going to make a deal and they all made it possible for me to drive home in my New Explorer Marc Brudner and Team were courteous and professional never trying to push me into something I wasn?t interested in or trying to sell me with salesmen lingo it was a Great Experience and I Highly Recommend Them if you are interested in upgrading to a newer or different vehicle Thanks Again for Your Professionalism and Service

Had such a wholesome experience here yesterday.
Had such a wholesome experience here yesterday. My grandfather just purchased his dream truck and the way the team was patient with him and entertained all of his stories was so cute. Everyone here gives off a family/I know you from somewhere vibe. I’d recommend since most dealerships are cold, but Champion JC is a bit different. Buying is an experience, this one was beyond satisfactory.

Picked up a Hyundai from Magic Auto Sales and worked with Mat throughout the whole thing. Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a smoother experience. He was super down to earth, never made me feel like I was being sold to ,just really helpful and straightforward. Answered everything I threw at him and gave me the space to think things over without pressure. The car’s been solid and exactly what I needed. If you’re looking for a place that actually treats you like a human, go see Mat.
