Love this dealership, Sergio always delivers best service and best deals. They are professional and efficient. Just got my 3rd lease from these guys. Happy customer and will keep coming back.
Source: DealerRater
As a repeat customer Sergio came through once again for me in delivering the car we wanted at our desired price. We set everything up ahead of time so I could stroll in on a Saturday morning and the deal was already set up so I wouldn't waste an entire day haggling with less then ethical salesmen like I have dealt with before coming to salerno duane at "highway dealers". Finished up with Mike in finance who was thorough but got me in and out as fast as possible which was what I wanted. Would give these guys 100 stars if I could.

Can not say enough amazing things about this dealership. From professionalism, to courtesy straight to the basics of the employees developing a relationship with their customers. These guys did everything in their power to make sure that my wife and I were getting exactly what we wanted. They didn't make you feel like you were being pressured or forced into anything. We ended up purchasing four cars from them in less then six months. Joe S, George, Ruben, and both Mikes were extremely helpful. Will definitely be back over and over again. Thank you guys for being an AWESOME dealership and providing such a memorable car buying experience !

BEST CAR SHOPPING EXPERIENCE I HAVE EVER HAD!!!!!! Prior to going to Salerno Duane Jeep I went to another Jeep dealership by my house. The whole time I felt like I was being hustled into buying something that didn't fit into our budget. Then I spoke to a co worker that highly recommended this place. I walked into Salerno Duane and they treated me like family from the beginning; offering water and snacks for my wife/daughter and myself while we waited. After a brief waiting time I spoke with Erik Podell and Joe Salerno(who were extremely professional and helpful) about what I had just experienced at the other dealership. They felt awful and told us not to worry and that they would take care of us. They then came back with multiple options and deals based on what we spoke about. I didn't have to negotiate with them and talk them down from an inflated price, THEY OFFERED US THE BEST DEAL POSSIBLE RIGHT FROM THE START. I cant tell you how refreshing that was. We ended up leasing a better model for less and we couldn't be happier.
Source: Google
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!

This was my family's first time Buying from Salerno.We have For many years used Dover Dodge, ( Pete Milevski). We have purchased over 12 cars from Pete when he was with DD. I went to DD not knowing that Pete was no longer there and was treated VERY VERY POORLy, As was the friends that I sent there. DD lied to me and to my friends that I sent there after Pete left. I called Pete while I was sitting in the DD parking lot and found that he was at Salerno now. Drove straight there and Purchased my daughters new car from him that day. We will be picking up 2 more cars this month from him. Pete Brings a sence of caring and professionalism to his customers. DD You really MESSED up. Pete and Salerno are NOW and will be my and ALL my friends GO TO for Vehicles. THEY CARE about you and it shows. Bye Bye DD you Are NOW Horrible and Lie to your customers. I will NEVER go back TO DOVER DODGE. HELLO SALERNO!!!!! NEW HOME.

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!

He answered all our questions and concern. Best experience at a dealship ever. Needless to say we walked out as 2 very happy customers with our new vehicle.

Friendly, patient, dedicated and not pushy. I visit them with my family to check on a Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. I scheduled an appointment thru the Costco Auto Program and Rafael Rios was the one who help us. He took us to drive the vehicle, answer all of our questions and presented to us many options and possibilities to take the car. We loved the car but couldn't take it at this moment because of certain personal needs. I will personally recommend this dealer for your next auto purchase but more than anything will recommend to do your transaction with Rafael, he made the experience enjoyable!!!

Rafael greeted us with enthusiasm and respect. He got to know my father and I as people, understanding our needs and expectations. Rafael made buying my first car experience splendid. Everthing was very clear - no hidden fees or discrepancies.He is also bilingual. Any Spanish speaking customers - this is your sales man!

As soon as we walked in the door, we were greeted with kindness, professionalism, and expertise. We did research and thought the car we were looking for was a Dodge Durango. Antonio listened to our needs and helped us discover that the customized, fully loaded, 2019 Jeep Grand Cherokee Upload was the car we were looking for. Antonio guided us through every step of the process. Sal and John from finance was patient with us as we crafted a package we felt best about.

Reviews for Jessica Young
I was interested in Jeep Cherokee 2019 for leasing, and i received a very good deal with Salerno. I had called more than 22 dealership across entire NJ state to find out the best value for my lease terms and Salerno experience was the best. I spoke to Jessica Young and she worked with Sergio to provided very good lease numbers, and they themselves applied all the discounts i could get by asking various questions trying to find out if i can qualify for more discounts. Sergio was very calm, polite and listened to our needs, budget etc. I found Salerno was straight forward, provided clear details on rates with respect to fees, taxes,registration, title, monthly payments, down payment, bank fee etc. Definitely recommend this Dealership for your next Jeep car! I researched for atleast 2 weeks calling every dealer but Salerno beat all of them for user experience!

From the follow-up phone call from Angela, the experience was wonderful. Angela was able to get back to me with answers to certain key questions I had. She arranged my appointment to meet the sales Manager, Andreas, who is wonderful, no pressure, and personable. When I arrived at the showroom, Angela greeted me and introduced me to Bill Devine, who would walk me through answers to all my questions, while learning what my needs were, what I wanted and explaining if there were any conflicts with my desires. Several factors led me down the right path which was the Jeep Grand Cherokee. Great choice, I love the vehicle and looking forward to taking it on the beaches. The other great choice was going to Salerno-Duane and meeting Bill Devine and Andreas. I recommend them highly. The posted reviews of Salerno-Duane are what enticed me into going to Summit NJ after visiting the local dealer in Brooklyn (which was a terrible experience).

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 🙂
