Question New Jersey Dealers

I will be leasing a new TL S within the next month or so. Anyone have any good or bad experiences with New Jersey Dealers?

Park Ave Acura in Maywood, NJ. Do a search on this board and you'll see how amazing they are.

Bottom line, it really comes down to where you are going to go to service your car.

I bought mine in Princeton, but I have it serviced at the dealer in Maple Shade.

That's right!! It's all matter where you go for services. I heard Park Ave Acura is the best but never been there before. (Just too far away from me.) I also heard Princeton is not bad too.

I had experiences with 2 dealers before. Bridgewater Acura (where I purchased my car from) and Brunswick Acura. (Now they called Open Road Acura.) The sales of Bridgewater Acura is not bad but I hate that sales manager. He gave me an a$$hole attitude before. Their service is even worse. Scratch my doors, bumper (a looooong one) and made a big paint chip on the edge of the hood.

The service staffs from Brunswick Acura are more nicer. They also did a good job. Last time when they replace the CD changer I thought they will scratch the area around it but they didn't. Now I always bring it to there for a service. Never have any problems so far. Why I didn't purchase it from them? Because I don't like the price they gave me. :p $1500 higher than what I paid to Bridgewater Acura.

That were just my experiences; doesn't mean that you will get the same.

I give Princeton a Neutral. I don't hate them, but I don't love them. They are good enough

Basically I think the shop should be open longer and on Saturday.

I would recommend Springfield Acura. I have purchased 2 cars from there. I was so happy with the way everything went the first time I brought another. I still service both my cars there, and I have no complaints. They bend over backwards to make the experience painless. I always leave a very happy customer.

Stay away from Springfield

I would stay far away from Springfield. Although I have only bought 1 car from them, every time I bring the car in for service I get the same slimy feel. They run the dealership like a low end used car dealership. The service department is nice, but the sales staff and the accessories guy are just plain bad. I have heard great things about Montclair. Do yourself a favor and stay away from Springfield.

Thumbs up Montclair Acura

I just leased my '03 TL-S w/Nav from Montclair Acura. I find them professional and would recommend them. They use Honda Financial Services for leasing as opposed to third party bank finance leasing many other Acura dealers use, whereas Honda is a better fit as they manufacture the car.

Specifically ask for sales rep Paul Eng. You will be treated very well.

I bought my 99 TL from Montclair Acura from Ed Simo. It was a good experience and he was very nice about everything. But when it comes to service, I give them an "F"! I had my TL serviced there a few times before I found out about Park Ave Acura. It was a pain in the ass to get a loaner, they scratched my TL and denied it, treated me like I was a broke teenager, etc...

But now I get my TL serviced at PAA. Even though it is farther away than Montclair Acura, at least PAA treats me like a real customer. I rather drive the extra mile to get good service than being treated like I was a nobody (even if it is only 1 block away).

Out of curiosity does anyone know if you are required to have your car serviced at the same dealer you leased your car from as part of the lease deal or can u take it anywhere without any repercussions when u return your car after the lease ?

Thumbs up Wayne Acura

I just bought a APB 03 TL-S from Wayne Acura on rt. 23. They were awesome. They give you a loaner car for ever service and excellent staff. If you live near look into them.

Acura of Ocean, in Ocean NJ. My salesperson was Steven Singer.... he had a great sense of humor and was very honest with me. Also, their service department has been good to me. There service manager (I think his name is John) was a real nice guy. Everytime I mention a potential problem, they go out of their way to find it!! I highly recommend them.
