2021 Ford Explorer ST
Kelsey F.

John Caruso is hands down the best sales guy there. About 3 years ago, we went in looking (at that time) at the Explorer. When we walked in, other sales men just looked at us, but John was the only one to approach us. Fast forward to 2021 and 3 cars later, John is the guy to go to. I leased my vehicle in 2018 and it was up this year. I absolutely loved my Explorer, but I would have changed a few things about it. I was going back and forth whether or not to buy it out or not, but again it didn't have everything exactly I wanted. We ultimately decided to custom order my new vehicle that way I got everything I ever wanted. I ended up ordering my dream Explorer from John. We ordered it back in early June, and I picked it up 2 days ago.. it came in a whole month earlier than expected! John did a fantastic job following up throughout the whole process, keeping me updated and what not. I ended up buying my car this time around. I'm so in love with my new Ford Explorer ST that I already put front window tints on her! Trust me, John is the guy to go to! You will not be disappointed. He does NOT pressure you at ALL to close a deal like some sales people do. Back in 2018, he actually suggested going home and doing more research to see the lowest price on the car so he could bring it back to his manager so we can close a deal. True genuine person. We will be back to see John in a couple years to order my husbands new truck. Keep it up John!! PS: I felt really bad the other night being there so late finalizing the paperwork, even though I know you wanted to go home after the long day. Thank you for being so patient and for taking the time to go over some key important details of my car!! You the real MVP! Thanks again :)

See all

I was just about ready to give up on car shopping when I stopped by this dealership, hoping to find…read morethe perfect car with low mileage. I'm so glad I decided to stop in because I ended up driving away in a brand-new 2026 Acura ADX A-Spec! From the moment we arrived, Jalen Bass, a sales consultant, welcomed me and my family and made us feel comfortable. I explained that I was looking for a certified pre-owned 2025 Acura ADX A-Spec with low mileage. Although they didn't have exactly what I was looking for, Jalen went the extra mile and suggested that we look at the brand-new 2026 Acura ADX models they had in stock. He took the time to understand what I wanted and brought the vehicle around for us to see. As soon as I saw it, I knew it was the perfect car for me! Jalen also worked with me throughout the negotiation process, including helping me apply the value of my trade-in toward my new vehicle. However, the biggest challenge of the day was getting my new car insured, and that's where Ryan Vanhara, the finance manager, stepped in. Ryan was patient, understanding, and incredibly helpful. He took the time to listen to our concerns and offer the best advice to help us figure everything out. Thanks to Jalen and Ryan, we were able to get the insurance situation resolved, and I drove off the lot in my beautiful, brand-new 2026 Acura ADX A-Spec, washed and cleaned and ready to go! They even stayed a little past closing to make sure everything was taken care of, and I truly appreciate their dedication and willingness to help. A huge shout-out to Jalen and Ryan for going above and beyond! Thank you both for your patience, professionalism, and outstanding customer service. You made what could have been a stressful experience into a memorable one. I highly recommend asking for Jalen if you're looking for a vehicle and working with Ryan in finance. You both deserve recognition for the effort you put into helping me drive away in my new car! Thank you again for everything!

Last week we swung by Lexus of Bridgewater and met with the finest Sales & Leasing Consultant one…read morecould ever hope for, Eddie Ruggirello!! Eddie helped us think through clearly what we were looking for in a new vehicle, he then presented some options, gave us test drives, and finally worked with us to select what was a perfect fit for us, a 2026 Lexus NX 350h Premium AWD SUV (love the Caviar exterior). During price negotiations, some sales guy from the dealership stepped in, but sensing that things were going downhill, General Manager Michael Tedesco jumped in, and worked with us to find common ground. Many thanks, Michael Tedesco! Thanks also to Madison Miranda from Finance. We cannot say enough about Eddie, a thorough gentleman who has amazing family values, he made the entire experience extremely memorable for us. Eddie's professional expertise, coupled with his commendable personal touch will always be cherished by us. Once we took possession of the SUV, Eddie patiently walked us through the key features and even helped customize some of them. We have plans for another new vehicle in the coming couple of years, and most certainly will circle back with Lexus of Bridgewater, Eddie and Michael Tedesco! If you are in the market for a new vehicle, we highly recommend Lexus of Bridgewater, and be sure to ask for the very best, Eddie Ruggirello! - Shreyas & Krishna Rao

The vehicle: 2026 Lexus GX 550 Premium+ MSRP breakdown: - Base price: $70,750 - Packages & options: $4,891 - Delivery: $1,450 - Total MSRP: $77,091 Everything was aligned. Deal was essentially done. Then the General Manager steps in. Adds $2,500 over MSRP at the last second. And tries to justify it by saying: "You're getting a $1,000 Military Discount from Lexus." Let's call this what it is: You're not giving a discount... you're taking one away. You're marking the vehicle up above MSRP and then pretending a manufacturer incentive makes it okay--especially to a veteran who spent 8 months building this deal the right way. This isn't just bad business. This is exactly what's broken in today's car buying experience: - No transparency - No integrity in honoring deals - Sales relationships overridden by management greed - And complete disrespect for loyal customers and veterans Eight months of time, communication, and trust--wiped out in one move. Lexus of Bridgewater and its General Manager made their position clear: Profit over people. Every time. If this is how they treat a serious, ready buyer after months of engagement--imagine what happens to everyone else walking in. Do better. #Lexus #GX550 #CarBuyingExperience #Veteran #MSRP #Dealerships #Transparency #DoBetter #CustomerExperience

No B.S., just a straight deal, Danial (Danny) even picked me up at the NJ transit station, with a nice hot cup of DD for me too. I was coming from far away. Even the "closer", the finance guy, was pleasant. You know, that guy who offers you the extra warranty and stuff. I think they knew I was not going for any of that, so it was quick and painless. Full tank, car spotless. I am surprised at some of the other reviews (although some seem like they were a little whack). There is nothing not to like here. Obviously I can't speak for the service, as I just got it, and won't be back. Too far away. But many of the employees are then 10 or 20 years. That tells you something.

I traded in a vehicle that was worth more than the vehicle I purchased from Performance. Performance owed ME money on the transaction. I signed the title of my vehicle over to Performance as part of the transaction. Performance took my vehicle. I was promised the check for the difference between the two vehicles within 3-4 days. After a couple of weeks, when I did not receive the check, I called the salesman, "Phil" inquiring about it. He falsely told me that the check was "cut" and that he would send me a tracking number. He never did and never responded to my follow up inquiries. Performance never paid me what was owed to me. Then, after reviewing my contract carefully, I realized that Performance charged me $399 for anti-theft window etching that I never received. Fast forward 6 weeks later, I have filed a law-suit against Performance. It is pathetic that a client has to sue Performance to simply get it to pay what is undisputably owed to the client.

I appreciate that the technicians were able to repair the volume button. They were also honest that they could not duplicate the issue with the side mirror during my visit, which I understand can happen with intermittent problems. However, I was disappointed with my interaction regarding the high idle concern. The service representative repeatedly suggested that I needed to use premium gasoline. Both my husband and I explained multiple times that we already use premium fuel exclusively. Despite this, the representative continued to insist that the car "knows the difference in octane" and emphasized switching to premium gas. I found this frustrating because I felt that my concerns were not being heard and that my statements about how I maintain my own vehicle were being dismissed. As a customer, I expect my observations to be taken seriously. Even if premium fuel is a common recommendation, once I clarified that this was already our practice, I would have appreciated a more collaborative discussion about other possible causes of the issue rather than feeling as though my honesty or understanding was being questioned. I value professionalism and clear communication, and I hope this feedback helps improve the customer experience for others in the future.

I also saw a special for New Customer free oil change (includes tire rotation if needed to rotate best tires in the front). I thought it was too good to be true.

I was first greeted by Ken who was professional and courteous. Kenny honored the new customer special. The technician completed the oil change and inspection in approximately 30 minutes. I was given a report on preventative maintenance to check against my records. My bill today was zero dollars!

When we purchased our Traverse, dealership staff told my husband he could leave his belongings in our Equinox trade-in overnight and come back the next day to get them. When he returned, most of his belongings were gone. We were later told a technician had removed them. After multiple trips, some items were eventually returned, but approximately $300 worth of personal property is still missing months later. We then purchased a Trax, and the dealership lost my license plates even though my salesperson had confirmed in writing that he was holding them for me. When my husband returned after being told everything was ready, the salesperson insisted that we had the plates, and the conversation escalated into a heated argument. The dealership ultimately could not locate them, so we had to complete additional paperwork and make another trip for replacement plates. There were also additional registration/documentation issues and multiple unnecessary trips back to the dealership. What bothers me most is how everything was handled afterward. Angel told me he would escalate the missing-property issue and follow up, but I never heard back. I sent two emails to senior dealership management detailing our experience and asking for help and received no response. I also documented the unresolved issues through the dealership's shared customer text system and received no acknowledgment there either. We gave the dealership multiple opportunities to resolve this privately before posting reviews. We were repeat customers who had previously left positive feedback and completed positive customer surveys because we genuinely trusted this dealership. Mistakes can happen, but the lack of follow-through, communication and accountability afterward is what ultimately changed our opinion. After three vehicle purchases, this is not the experience I ever expected to have, and we will be taking our business elsewhere going forward.
