Last week I brought the car to the service department in Toms River for an oil change. When the job was done, Greg, the service writer, told me that my alternator is going to fail. I said how do you know? He said we can tell when we scan the battery that the alternator is going bad. I said really? So I asked, "What does a new alternator cost?" He says $870.00. I said I can't do that right now. So he says, "Well, don't drive far, it can stop working at any time. Watch your lights, they'll stop working".I drive to Stamford once a month, so I was concerned. When I got home, I checked the paperwork and realized that there was no diagnostic run on my car to prove his claim. Also, on my way home i noticed that my blind side lights or rear backup alert did not work. They were working when I drove there... My BIL is a Certified Toyota mechanic, so I called him. He took my car to the dealership and checked it out. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY ALTERNATOR!!! The button for the alerts had been turned off. I had a good experience buying my car and just continued to use their auto shop. Unfortunately, because of Greg, they just lost a customer. Did he see a woman come in for an oil change and figure he could make an easy commission by lying to me? My gut told me something was off when he was speaking to me, and I was right. Don't use their auto shop. They will rip you off! UPDATE. I have been contacted by corporate regarding my review. They said that they are upset that this happened and are very sorry. They say that the service writer has been talked to about this. In the past, I have had good experiences in the auto shop with service writers Chris and Maria. I have been assured that this won't happen again. I was instructed to contact the service manager next time I bring my car in... Thank you for reaching out.

I began searching online for a used car and was contacted by many dealerships. One of the first to…read morereach out was Liz from Honda of Toms River. Her friendly tone and willingness to listen made me feel at ease. Over the course of a few phone calls and texts, I explained exactly what I needed, including the type of car, my payment limit, and that I was looking to work with someone I could trust. Based on our communication, I believed Liz would be the person I would be meeting with in person. When I arrived for my appointment, I told the front desk I was there to meet Liz. I then overheard the receptionist ask, "Who's next on rotation?", an immediate red flag. A salesperson named Emily soon came to greet me. I explained that I had been dealing directly with Liz, and only then did I learn that Liz works in Internet sales and would not be assisting me personally. This was never disclosed to me at any point, despite multiple conversations beforehand. When I asked to speak with Liz and described my disappointment, she became defensive instead of taking responsibility. Her justification was that I "never asked her what her title was." To me, withholding that information after days of communication was misleading and unprofessional. Trust is a key part of any large purchase, and once it's broken, it's hard to restore. While I did receive follow-up calls and messages from management, Liz and Emily afterward, the integrity of that first interaction could not be repaired. I chose not to continue working with Honda of Toms River because transparency and accountability are non-negotiable qualities in customer service. I hope management ensures that future customers are given clear, honest communication from the start. Stephanie L. Toms River

Honda of Toms River is the exact reason dealerships have bad reputations…read more Grossly inflated repair prices and bait and switch tactics to lure you in. Promised free inspection, fluid top off and a car wash only to be hit with a three hundred bill for it and didn't even get the car wash. Also, a quote for almost 5,000 in mostly unneeded overinflated repairs. Brought it to my actual mechanic and once he filtered through the nonsense got the entire quote repaired for less than 900. This also isn't the first time I've experienced shady behavior from this dealership. Avoid at all costs. I would trust any other Honda than this one. If I was able to give it a negative review I would. This is not a misunderstanding of a review. These are flat out horrible business decisions to screw people over and line their pockets.

When you look over your Loan Agreement papers 1- make sure the agreed price is on the agreement 2- make sure that your deposit is subtracted from the agreed price 3- They will ask if it is OK to add 3 extra months to the 5 year loan. Your answer is NO! 4- They will ask you what your maximum monthly you can afford. Your answer the minimum possible 5- Make sure you do not go to the Dealer alone. Bring someone to help you A few days after I got home I went over the loan agreement and realized that I had payed full price for the car and they didn't subtract my down payment from the purchase price. So my down payment went somewhere but NOT to where it was supposed to go. I guess it was a trophy for taking advantage of a senior citizen. I never said anything because I was too embarrassed and ashamed of being taken advantage like that. I am saying something now because I have not been sleeping very well knowing how I was taken advantage of. I suggest everyone that took a loan with Lester Glenn have the loan looked at to make sure that what happened to me didn't happen to you.

Upon a recent trip to the dealership I became aware that the dealership changed hands and is now Celebrity Ford, new ownership. I needed new brakes and the service/service team were all fine. However, Celebrity Ford is now charging it's customers a 3% fee to use their credit card. Upon further inspection, I was charged $20.00 for "CUSTOMER PAY SHOP CHARGE FOR REPAIR ORDER" What the hell is that? As if the 3% egregious extortion fee just to use your credit card isn't enough, I have to pay an extra $20.00 for what? 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. Auto repairs NEVER come at a good time and the repairs could cost thousands of dollars, of course the majority of people are going to need their credit card to get their car fixed to take the kids to school and go to work; how dare you? If credit card companies are charging too much, go after them - NOT US. GOOD JOB TWISTING THE KNIFE ON YOUR CUSTOMERS. Sincerely, former customer of Celebrity Ford.

I leased a Volkswagen…read moreTiguan and within just 10 days, the moonroof suddenly shattered while I was driving on the Garden State Parkway. 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.
