    My steering wheel "aligned after being test drove before I picked up"
    Aishlinn B.

    I am not one to put anyone on blast however I feel this is dangerous! I lease a 2017 Kia Sedona. January of this year I started to have problems with it not starting in the morning and an increase in exhaust coming from it. I had taken the car in 2-3 times regarding this problem. 1st time I took it in I was told that it was from some minor sludge in engine and it was because I needed a fuel injection. Well I got the services done as they requested. However this did not fix my problem. 2nd time I was told nothing was wrong and to video tape the problem. So I recorded the problem however I never got a response. In June I was driving my car home and all my lights went on on dashboard (never even had an engine light on prior), and what I can explain as my engine seizing. I had my three children with me! I got the car over to Sussex Kia who I had been dealing with since January and it was closed due to Covid 19. A few days went by and they did not respond so I towed my car to Route 23 Kia in Riverdale. I was told it was my engine, it was full of sludge and because I did not do oil changes. However Jorge in services had assured me that they would clean it up and get it covered by warranty. I would maybe have some minor replacements that have to do with the engine. So I did not argue the fact I was being blamed for not getting oil changes when in fact I did and have receipts for proof!!! well between June and now my car had been sitting in their lot. I was told that they were waiting on an engine to come in. Friday I finally got a call my engine was in but surprise my starter was bad!! well its been sitting untouched on their lot for 90+ days so yeah. They wanted 600 dollars out of pocket for a starter on a leased car. OK, I paid it. I wanted my car back, I figured I will fight this and get the money back later. Wednesday I get a call my car is ready. I make the payment and tell them I will pick up my car that evening. Was told my car was test driven and cleaned. So I go to pick up my car last night and I am pulling out onto route 23 and I'm like what's going on. when I would straighten my steering wheel my car started to go off the road. What I explained to be my steering wheel upside down. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK AND LEFT IN LOANER AGAIN!!! I got a call this morning and was told it was not my steering wheel upside down because they do not take steering wheel off it was my Alignment (Scott the service manager). I honestly do not care what it was! It was dangerous!! This is insane. Who test drove my car and thought it was ok. I told them I do not want my car back because if they cannot recognize that my steering was off, actually undrivable, who knows what job they did on engine or on starter. RT 23 Kia service department does not know what they are doing. I have reached out to a lawyer as well as Kia consumers and Kia motor finance regarding this situation! I was also told by Scott that I need to return there loaner in two days no matter what because other costumers need it. If I'm that customer GO ELSEWHERE to get your car serviced! Also upon reviewing my receipt it was noted that my engine came in 7/3/2020. What took two months to install it. I have purchased from Kia 3 times and been a long time customer and service I have received this Year I will be changing cars! Kia Motors America Route 23 Kia

    My fiancé and I visited Route 23 Honda with our friend who needed a new vehicle. We visited on a…read moreweeknight and dealt with Sam in sales. I found Sam to be very typical and by that, I mean having a dismissive behavior towards a woman customer. Sam barely acknowledged my friend but was very interested in speaking to my fiancé. I did comment that my friend is the one who is purchasing the car and all communication should be directed towards her, not my fiancé. I was very put off by this and had the purchase been for me, I would have left and gone to another dealership. Alas, my friend is much more patient than I am because I can't tolerate that sort of outdated attitude. This communication by Sam continued throughout our visit and up until we went with my friend to finalize the purchase that weekend. The only saving grace was the wonderful finance manager, Rolando. He was hilarious and refreshingly straight forward so that my friend could make the best decisions for financing her new car. Aside from the subpar experience with Sam, everything else worked out wonderfully. I would recommend dealing with a different salesperson who understands that women are capable of buying cars.

    Had an amazing experience at Crestmont right after the New Year. Made an appointment with John…read moreOrtiz and he was very easy to work with. Both John and his sales manager didn't make me feel pressured into a bad deal and were very easy to negotiate with. They understood I had done my research on the truck beforehand and treated me with respect. Since they were able to come down on the price of the Tacoma I wanted, I felt comfortable adding an extended bumper to bumper warranty on top of it being Certified gold. I ultimately came out with the truck I wanted below the cost I thought I would have to pay. I was in and out within 3 hours and would definitely recommend Crestmont Toyota to others looking to get a Toyota!

    On May 19th, 2026, I brought my 2024 Toyota Tundra (mileage approximately 67K miles) in for a…read moreroutine oil change, which took approximately 2.5 hours to complete. Upon return of my vehicle, I immediately discovered that the air conditioning system was no longer functioning properly. Despite my concerns, the service department including the Service Representative Eric insisted that no issues were caused during the visit. However, on May 20, I was informed that the front air outlet control servo motor allegedly needed replacement, with an estimated cost of approximately $2,600 for the part and $2,500 for labor. My truck was also returned with the "Maintenance Required" still visible on the dashboard. Then on May 20th, it was returned a second time with the remote start no longer working. Given that the air conditioning system was functioning properly prior to the service appointment, I have formally filed a complaint directly with Toyota. Toyota/Dealership is willing to cover the part but they are stating I have to pay for the labor cost of over $2500 and they are only willing to discount it to $2000. I should not be expected to cover the cost of the repair since they damaged it. Additionally, during my time at the dealership, I observed multiple instances in which customers were presented with costly additional repairs and issues identified during their routine service visits, which raised concerns regarding the dealership's service team.

    My Son has been gettin a runaround for 5 weeks. see his review …read more If I could give a negative review I would. In March of 2023 I brought my 2019 Ford Escape into Route 23 Automall for an engine failure. This repair took 2-3 weeks and I was not given a loaner. Less than a year later, in March of 2024, I brought the same car in for a transmission failure (great design, right Ford?). Again, I was not given a loaner, and my car has been in the shop for over 4 weeks now. I was told that a new transmission was put in, but engine lights came on when they did that they could not figure out. For the past 2 weeks, I have been given the runaround and cannot get any answers from Alexis in Quicklane. If a certified Ford auto shop cannot figure out how to fix their own cars, that is a huge problem. Needless to say, if and when I do get my car back from them, I will not be returning, and I will certainly not recommend Route 23 Automall Quicklane to anybody. In anybody is wondering, there is a Class Action Lawsuit against Ford for their transmission issues. Gerkarrah Jones v. Ford, Case No. 2:24-cv-10721-MAG-CI Ford and Route 23 Automall need to do better.

    I have had an exceptional true car buying experience with Brian Barna from Route 23 Auto Mall…read more Like all of you I started my car buying journey online researching. I found my 2024 Ranger Raptor at this dealership. I sent an email late Sunday evening inquiry. I received a very prompt response from Brian the following Monday morning. We exchanged emails and texts throughout the day and had a deal. I filled out a PDF financing application, selected a few dealer installed options, which took a coupe days to receive and install by their service team, and picked up my new 2024 Ranger Raptor on Thursday morning. On Thursday, I had the privilege to meet with Brian in person. He is a knowledgeable, courteous professional! I then signed all the paperwork with the Finance Manager and was done in about 15 minutes. Brian took the time to help me get the Ford App on my phone and walked me through connecting Apple Air Play and all basic features on the vehicle. This was the absolute best modern car buying experience for serious buyers who value their time. I highly recommend with Brian Barna and the Route 23 Ford Auto Mall in Butler, NJ.

    I rarely leave reviews, but I feel it's important to share my experience…read more Before making the trip, I called this dealership twice because I live in Brooklyn over an hour and a half away. Both times I specifically asked for an out-the-door price. I was told that they could not provide one over the phone and that I needed to come to the dealership and see the vehicle in person. I made the trip and met with the salesperson, who was professional, courteous, and genuinely tried to help. When I asked for the out-the-door price, the conversation kept shifting toward monthly payments instead. He did work to see if I could purchase the vehicle with little or no money down, which I appreciated. I wasn't comfortable with the numbers at that time, so I told him I'd come back with my deposit. The following week, I returned with my deposit ready to purchase the vehicle. That's when I was finally presented with the out-the-door price, which included nearly $5,000 in dealer add-ons, plus another approximately $500 package. I'll attach a photo of the breakdown so others can see exactly what was included. While the salesperson was excellent, my interaction with the sales manager completely changed my opinion of the dealership. I found him to be arrogant, dismissive, and unprofessional. Rather than respecting that I wanted time to review the numbers, he used high-pressure sales tactics, including telling me he had turned down another deal for me and asking whether the person I had on the phone helping guide me through the car-buying process was going to co-sign for me. I found those comments unnecessary and disrespectful. Because of that experience, I will likely take my business elsewhere. It's unfortunate because the salesperson did a great job, but the manager's attitude and the lack of transparency regarding pricing left a very negative impression.

    Classic bait-and-switch pricing…read more The vehicle was advertised online at one price, with small fine print saying dealer fees were not included. Once we arrived, we found out the "dealer fees" were nearly $5,000 and completely mandatory. We were told the fees covered things like reconditioning, detailing, tires, etc. -- basically the normal cost of preparing a trade-in vehicle for sale. I have bought many vehicles over the years and have NEVER seen a dealership tack on almost $5,000 in surprise non-negotiable add-ons like this. Josh, the manager, told us this is "what dealers are doing now." If that's true, consumers should run the other direction. I do want to say Javian, our salesperson, was fantastic and handled everything professionally. The issue is clearly dealership management and pricing practices above him.
