Had an amazing experience with Felix!
Had an amazing experience with Felix! He was so helpful and answered all my questions. Making the appt was so fast and easy. They fixed my recall quickly!
Nice vehicle
Quiet, comfortable and powerful car. I have the twin turbo that puts out 400 hp. General gas mileage is 19-20 city and 24-25 highway. The only thing that I would change on this vehicle is that I would like to be able to turn off some of the automatic operations on a semi-permanent basis.

On 10/27/25, my wife and I set up a 3 years lease for an HRV EX-L AWD CVT. While going through the process, we were helped by your salesman Kevin Kouczor and managers Many and Parick (no last names known), as well as soon we arrived at your dealership, the rest of your reps offered to help on any needs we had.. We would like to express our satisfaction with the service , attention and politeness shown by your whole crew, something that makes your place one of the most outstanding places ever experienced. Thanks again and hope your employees will be made aware of the results of their dedication.
Impressive
This is the first explorer that I have owned in nearly 30 years. I am coming from a ram 1500. I am surprised how comfortable this explorer is I’m really enjoying the gas mileage between 21 to 23 in town. I have not taken a trip on the highway yet.

I recently visited Champion Auto Sale Of JC and had an outstanding experience from start to finish. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and patient, answering all my questions without making me feel pressured to make a decision. The selection of vehicles was impressive, with a variety of makes and models to suit different budgets and preferences. I appreciated how transparent they were about pricing, financing options, and vehicle history. It made the whole process stress-free and enjoyable. The dealership itself was clean and well-organized, which added to the positive experience. After test-driving a few cars, I ended up finding the perfect vehicle, and the purchasing process was smooth and straightforward. I highly recommend Champion Auto Sale Of JC to anyone looking for a reliable car and exceptional service. I’ll definitely be coming back for future purchases or service needs!

The manager Marek and salesman Howard were very friendly
The manager Marek and salesman Howard were very friendly and worked well with me to trade and buy a new car. Service department is great, they answer all your questions . The only problem is they do not have much of a selection each time I am looking for a car. However, I still would not go to any other Fird Dealership. Lisa kratins

Great Experience!
I bought a 2023 Ford Explorer from Route 23 Automall. From start to finish the process was transparent, quick and easy. The sales manager, Solomon, went above and beyond to answer all of my questions and make me feel as comfortable as possible with my purchase. I did not feel pressured in any way unlike at most dealerships. It was a pleasure doing business here and I highly recommend buying a car from Route 23 Automall!

Dealership was fine.
Dealership was fine. Mr. Singh was professional and a pleasure to work with. I should have sold my trade in Subaru 2017 105,000 mi. Subaru in NY offered 9315, Old Bridge Ford gave me 6500. Sell first before doing deal and come in with money. I was foolish. CT5 is great 6 cylinder. Can not wait to drive it every day. Subaru, was fun but not as quiet.

My experience with purchasing a car at Nielsen Ford in
My experience with purchasing a car at Nielsen Ford in Morristown was excellent! After seeing an advertisement on Facebook for a 2024 Ford Edge Titanium SUV, I stopped by the dealership and Orhun Varol was the salesman who helped me. From the Test Drive to the negotiating selling my current car to Nielsen Ford, Mr. Varol kept things going smoothly. He took the time to answer all my questions. I drove out of the dealership a few hours later in my new car, thanks to my excellent salesman Ohrun Varol. A+++
