Sergio and Michael helped lower my payments tremendously and they also helped target a budget that was comfortable for me to commit to. They really work with you. Great job!!!

Best experience at a dealership I was in and out. The whole process that other dealers made it out to be was always waiting for someone in finance for hours. Not here!!! Was in and out in about and hour. Thank you so much to Pete and Mike from finance. Such a wonderful experience. Would leave 10 starts if I could. Everyone took such care of me when I entered the door. If you need a car Salerno is the place to go!

I'm so happy with my purchase. Although I was a little on the fence. Nico made me feel comfortable about it. He and Mike were great. They helped me out so much with everything. I would recommend they to anyone.

Reviews for Joe Salerno
Purchased a 2015 Grand Cherokee, what an amazing experience! Henry Argueta was knowledgeable, professional and a pleasure to work with. When it came to explaining what I could afford, Joe Salerno was a professional and experienced finance professional who was able to work with me on a great price. Overall, I highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking for a new or used Jeep, these guys are top notch!

I went to this dealership looking for a brand new Dodge Charger. I got exactly what I wanted! I placed an order with Joseph Salerno for 2018 GT Charger in white. The car came in a timely fashion, and actually looked better than I had expected. The customer service was outstanding and I absolutely love my new car. A definite recommend to anyone looking for a new car or truck! Joe Salerno was not just a salesman, he was a friend. I appreciate the service I received from Joe and the entire Salerno Duane team!

Traded a vehicle in and received the best service ever from Henry and Joe. Henry was so kind and patient. He made my car buying experience a memorable one. I purchased a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland, after testing the 2017 limited 4*4 because it was more affordable and most of all had everything I wanted. I love my new car. The entire staff was very helpful in this purchase, even understood my dreadful experience with the bank. I am very happy with my choice and looking forward to purchasing a newer vehicle in the future. Thank you Henry and Joe.

Pete Milevski Sr. and Sal Zebardast are two of the best salesmen we have ever had the pleasure of working with. Our family has done business with Pete for over 21 years and never have we been let down. This was our first experience with Salerno & Duane, and as we know Pete, our expectations were regarding the quality and service we received were met. Both Pete & Sal knew we were on a time constraint due to my lease ending & worked through a few issues on my end to make me a satisfied customer. We look forward to doing business with them in the future. Thank you both so much for your time & effort in helping us!

Thank you Pete Milevski for an excellent buying experience. We will be referring others to your dealership. My wife and I are satisfied with our purchase.

Reviews for Erik Podell
We had the BEST experience at Salerno Duane. We went in after being hustled by other dealers and losing several cars we had already put deposits on. We reached out online about a car and the next day we went in, test drove, got approved for financing and the deal was done! We bought a used vehicle and they accommodated our request for one additional piece of service at no additional charge. We literally had been to a dozen dealerships before them and wish we just went there first. I cannot recommend Dan, our salesperson, Erik the Used Car manager and MIchael in Finance. They were all wonderful to work with!

Great experience working with Erik at Salerno Duane. He took time to find us the perfect vehicle and we were very happy with the lease deal we got. Would definitely recommend Salerno Duane!

Great team! Worked with Erik and Mike and they made the process so easy, including buying out my lease. Would definitely recommend this dealership and will be back.

Reviews for Peter Herbst
Fast and Friendly Service - After talking on the phone with the kind and considerate Adriana, I took train from Manhattan to Summit, NJ to Salerno Duane Ford on the busy Memorial Day weekend Saturday to look at 2017 Explorers. Pete showed me the entire line-up, explained the differences and costs without any pressure. We looked at multiple pricing options on a couple different Explorers and we went for a spin. Dealt with GEICO on the spot (got insurance), made the lease happen and I DROVE back to Manhattan. Pete even agreed to bring the plates into the city for me (once in) so I didn't have to travel back to Summit. SD is a family business and not a boiler-room, so comfortable atmosphere.

This is the second Jeep that I've leased with the dealership. Henry is the absolute best salesman I've ever dealt with. He is on point in all aspects and went above and beyond any previous salesman. Would highly recommend the Salerno family to anyone.

I would just like to share my experience I had with this dealership and help influence others to have the same one that I had. I came from Staten Island to this dealership in Summit to purchase a jeep. From the moment I walked to the moment I left I was treated very fairly and beyond professional from the staff here at Duane Salerno. I dealth with Henry and Joe and they were more than accommodating to all my questions and needs that I had to complete my purchase. I would recommend this dealership because they took the time to help me and make my trip a complete success. Best of luck to those who are looking to purchase this is the place to go

Paul joined the Salerno Duane Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep team in 2008 after spending the 16 years prior in another local area dealer. Paul lives in Whippany with his wife and children. Paul is both a football and soccer fan and is unlike the rest of his co-workers that love the NY Giants, Jets, Devils and/or Redbulls, as his favorite team is Manchester City and his favorite vehicle in the product line is the Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Walked into Summit Jeep and Paul Shorrock showed me the 2019 Cherokee. Easy transaction, great deal and Im driving out in a new car. Doesnt get any simpler. Id recommend Paul and the dealership anytime. Read more

I decided to go to Salerno Duane since it was close by and it was the best decision I ever made! I must say it was the easiest car deal I have ever made in my life. I lease frequently so this is something I usually dread since it takes hours and with Salerno Duane it was a breeze. I sat with Paul and within an hour we had a deal and there was no constant back and forth and what I said from the beginning is exactly what I got. Best sales person I have ever had and I highly recommend him and the Salerno Duane overall! Hands down best deal, experience, customer service, and sales person. If anyone wants to make a deal and not deal with frustration go see Paul ! You won’t be disappointed.

Sergio joined Salerno Duane in 2009, however Sergio has been in assisting customers get into the vehicle of their dream since 2002. When Sergio is not assisting customers you more than likely will find him playing or watching soccer. He is an avid NJ Redbulls Fan. Sergio’s favorite vehicle in the product line is the Dodge Durango.
Reviews for Sergio Ovalle
I was recommended to this dealership thru a friend who had an excellent experience dealing with them. After countless other dealerships giving me the run around Salerno Duane helped me out in buying my first car. My salesman was Sergio Ovalle and he preformed perfectly and was very considerate with helping purchase my first new car. He understood my credit score wasn’t great and helped me step by step thru the process. I gave him a budget I could comfortably pay and he and the sales team at Salerno Duane worked real hard and very professional in getting me into the car I wanted. Overall I’m very satisfied with my experience with this dealership and their sales team. Two thumbs WAY up!

I started in the parts department back in 1995 as a driver, my father was working at Yonkers Honda/Mazda as the lead service advisor. They asked if he knew of anyone that was looking to get their foot in the door and recommended me. Within a short time I quickly advanced from driver to front counterman and then main shop counterman. I found my niche in Parts, never stopped learning and have advanced myself to Parts Manager positions since 2002. I am happy to wake up on this side of the ground every day. Have a nice day 🙂
