My car ( Mustang Mach E) unexpectedly developed issues.
My car ( Mustang Mach E) unexpectedly developed issues. I called George Wall immediately. Their service staff seamlessly scheduled my appointment for the next day. When I dropped my car off for service, I was able to get a ride back to my house. I was kept informed about what was wrong with my car as well as the progress. When finished, all work was explained to me and the car was delivered back to me. Since moving to Monmouth County, George Wall has been my go to place for all car related issues because they are professional, friendly and all work is done well. I recommend them wholeheartedly.

“I had an amazing experience buying my car at Ford thanks
“I had an amazing experience buying my car at Ford thanks to JC. From the moment I arrived, he was extremely kind, patient, and very knowledgeable. He explained everything clearly and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. I never felt pressured, only supported. JC truly went above and beyond to help me get the right car for my needs. If you’re looking for someone honest, professional, and helpful, ask for JC — you won’t regret it!”

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!

Yes, I recommend them
I bought a 2018 Escape in Oct. 2021 with 33000 miles. I'm very satisfied with the vehicle. The staff have been very helpful even as I returned to the dealership with questions. Kensie and Damon deserve credit for their service. The deal was just ok, but it was done during the height of the pandemic, they had to find me what I wanted, and inventory was in short supply. Overall a positive experience.

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+++

I leased a 2024 nautilus from Dana Ford . My sales man was Ahmed Khodir. He was very courteous and professional and he really worked with my wife and I and I am very pleased with him. He spent time to go over everything in the car so my wife and I were familiar with all the new gadgets. If anybody is looking for a car, I highly recommend him. Al Rago

Great experience and another smooth transaction. Most dealers give you the run around. Juan Carlos (JC) ensured we were taken care of and did an excellent job of meeting all our expectations. This our second time doing business with Maplecrest and working with JC this year. We are extremely delighted and satisfied with our purchase experience. I highly recommend them!
