Highly Recommended. Would give them a 10 star review if I could. High quality cars and excellent Customer Service. Buying experience was pleasant and prices were very competitive. Car came with a 6 month, 6,000 mile warranty. I had a major and potentially costly issue with the suspension after my warranty ran out. Contacted Customer service via their customer portal and received a timely call back.

Service Manager asked me to drop off the car to be evaluated. Long story short is that they are making the repairs at No Charge even though it is out of warranty. Note, I did not have to fight to get this done, they did this as a matter of Good Will and Customer service. Truly, a great place to buy a car as you will have peace of mind that you are getting a quality vehicle and excellent customer service.

I recently had to trade in my 2018 Honda Accord due to not being able to make payments anymore, I called to speak with the sales consultant that helped me previously with picking out my Honda, Lucas McKeever, to see if there was any chance I could trade in my vehicle for a cheaper one. Fortunately enough, Lucas made the process smooth and hassle free.

Both times he has helped me to the best of his ability and both times I have been satisfied with my purchases. I highly recommend setting an appointment with Lucas if looking you're looking for a vehicle or have any other questions!

Auto Lenders did an amazing job working with me and helping me get the car i wanted. They also did a great job helping me find insurance at a great rate. I worked with Lucas particularly and he did a great job. I did not feel pressured but felt genuinely helped. Great place to go!

I bought a beautiful car yesterday at Auto Lenders, and the entire experience was awesome! Joel very patiently walked me around the huge lot as we looked at many nice car options. We then sat and reviewed the multitude of great cars they have at their other locations. I finally choose a fantastic Mercedes which you would never know isn't brand spanking new!

I got a crazy good price, full protection extended warranty, and I couldn't be more pleased. Many of my friends recommended Auto Lenders to me, and I am very glad I went. Joel couldn't have been nicer, knowledgeable, and helpful. Thank you to Joel and his entire crew!

We were trying to find a used low milage car for my daughter and grandson. We went to some local place that was going to rip us off big time. So then we drove around Toms River after backing out of the deal with the local place. Chris Morales immediately helped us find exactly what we wanted we got a hardly used honda civic 2017 for an exceptional price and everything was upfront no games!

We are so happy she has a reliable car now and there isn't a scratch on it for 2017 that's amazing! Low milage 1600 total car fax was exceptional and they got us the best loan available! Glad she now has a great car that is safe to drive my grandson in!

I purchased a Mercedes Benz 2 years ago from auto lenders and not only was the experience great but the car was in perfect conditions, I never had any issues with it. I recently decided to trade my car in and upgrade so I decided to go back to auto lenders and of course everything was great once again. Lucas and everyone else that was there made sure I was able to get exactly what I wanted.

I was really nervous about trading in my car for something else but came across this Toyota rav 4 and it was exactly what I wanted. I'm in healthcare and couldn't really be on the phone but Ross was super understanding and texted me with details and steps we needed to take to move forward. Needless to say the day of my test drive I met Ross for the first time and took the car for a drive. Needless to say I fell in love with the car.

That's when I met Santiago!.My finance guy who was Super amazing and did everything to help me with great numbers. I had such a great experience and both were superb. I'm not all for reviews but this one needed to be done. Thanks Guys! You're awesome.

Our experience was perfect! They didn't try to sell us anything additional, no haggling, etc., and the whole process was quick, and simple. No hidden fees.just the cost of the car, taxes, and title & registration - exactly how it SHOULD be, but usually isn't the case at most other places. They even offered to fix some small physical things on the vehicle, that we didn't even ask them to do. Awesome place!

My girlfriend and I contacted auto lenders about a car in pa that we liked. Fontane had that vehicle shipped to their Princeton location within 3 hours and helped us out. He was so personable and eager to help. He made the car buying experience easy and quick. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a car. He was not pressuring, but very educated in his vehicle knowledge. 10/10 will buy from there again.

This is the best place for car buying. I got my first car in life this weekend here. They are so sweet when answering my call and even agree to move the car from tom river to princeton. The process is simple and no nothing extra fees. Loving my miata now. But will see about the car quality in a few years

I am very thankful for Matt, Chris and the nice finance man that helped me through my purchase of a 2015 Jeep Compass. Finding a car at a great rate is very hard and with all I faced in 2022 it hasn't been easy but all of these men didn't give up on me. They pushed an amazing deal and I'm forever grateful. THANK YOU! Will definitely be referring family/friends in as well as coming back in the future for my next purchase :

AutoLenders is no longer the "smarter way to buy a car". They're no different than your typical used car dealership. The sales man didn't tell me until after all the paperwork was signed that there was only 1 key to the car. At which point it was too late. My bad, I know I should have asked beforehand.

It was the most stress free car buying experience we've ever had! The sales associate listened to what we wanted and we went home with the very first vehicle he suggested! NO pressure, NO haggling, just great service!

Recently purchased a Dodge Ram 1500 from here. The sales consultant Anthony Cipriano could not have been more helpful. Anthony made it a breeze trading in our car and working with us to get into the vehicle we wanted. If you are in the market for a vehicle I would recommend Auto Lenders in Princeton and ask for Anthony!

I went to the Williamstown Auto Lenders. Anthony S. helped me find the perfect car to replace my old one. Everyone was helpful and friendly. I will return when the the time comes.

I give Auto Lenders of Princeton 5 stars! This was the smoothest process ever, from beginning to end. More specifically, I would like to give a shout out to my salesman, Joseph Thompson. He's extremely nice, courteous, professional and knowledgeable. He made this entire process painless and had me out of the dealership in less than 2 hours. I've sold cars in the past and never got anyone out of the dealership that quick.

Not only did he sell me the car, he delivered it to my home that evening because I had a prior engagement I had to attend to, and I wasn't trading in the vehicle I arrived in. I'm a firm believer in Teamwork Makes the Dream Work, and also want to thank the finance manager, Jim and his assistant Danielle. You guys rock and I will definitely be a returning customer!

They sold me an infiniti guaranteed it had the remainder of the factory warranty. Took it to the dealership and had to pay 2600 so far out of pocket to have the warranty honored due to the poor and modifications conditions of the car they sold me. THE CAR HAD FAILING BRAKES AND A MOUSE NEST but the salesman assured me the car had been reconditioned. 35495 on a car and the oil wasn't even changed. They first promised to make it right and then declined to take accountability.

We pretty much picked out the vehicle we wanted online. We showed up earlier than our appointment and were greeted by Stephanie our sales representative warmly and promptly. Given the current market the price. was fair and the process was quick and relatively painless. I liked that the Auto Lenders add includes the Carfax without having to ask for it or getting some generic version of it. Finance was quick and easy. Thanks Stephanie and Sean in Exton PA! Dave and Lori.

Good sales, but horrible post sales experience. Purchase vehicle in Lakewood and had it delivered to another location. First, no one called me to tell me it was there. When I went to pick it up, no one knew I was coming and didn't even check the car or me and just handed me the keys. The vehicle had damage to the rear bumper and was never. cleaned up on the outside - still had was/compound material that they promised would be cleaned up before I got it.

After I called about the bumper damage, had to wait another week to get a service appointment. I had to call and make the appointment, even though a manager promised someone would call me. I emailed the salesperson, manager and VP and still haven't heard back a week later. WOULD NEVER BUY FROM THEM AGAIN.

I can't give enough positive reviews about this place. I went to the Exton location on 11/16 since my lease was almost up. I normally hate going to car dealerships with the pressure the sales people put on you, . how they talk you into extra stuff and how intimidating it can be especially as a woman. I kept procrastinating buying a new car because of it.

Auto Lenders is not your traditional car dealership and I mean that in the best way possible. Buying a car from them was truly a great experience. I've never been able to say that about a car dealership. From Bill, my sales guy to test driving my new car, to one of the managers, Yasir, it was a great experience. They work with you and are some of the nicest people I've met. I NEVER write reviews but Auto Lenders completely deserves it. You guys are awesome! Thank you!

What a joke this place is. Twice I called for 2 different vehicles and twice magically something happened to them and they couldn't be transferred to a dealer close to me as promised by the sales associate! If this is any sign of how they do business stay away!

Very disheartened today, I have bought 3 vehicles from them, just recently bought my newest car from them 3 months ago and was told today that they weren't replacing the dry rotted tires and the rotors that were out of round and brake pads now needed to be replaced! I will never buy a car from here every again! And I won't recommend to anyone ever again Service department here SUCKS!

I definitely recommend Auto Lenders in Princeton! It was the quickest transaction I've ever had. They even brought the car up from another location right away before I got there! Our Salesman was Anthony. Great guy! My parents also bought two cars from here too. Even though it's far from me, it was worth the trip! Thank you!

Bought my car from Autolenders in Princeton last week. My sales consultant Kocho was simply the best. Helped me find the right vehicle and with their no haggle business model it was the easiest car purchase I've ever made. Thank you Autolenders of Princeton for making this easy. Top notch service.

Amazing experience. Smooth, fast and easy. It's been so hard to find a car and Autolenders had 3 of what I was looking for. And let me tell you a clean well cared for Lexus GS is hard to come by. Thanks Chris Murphy, Kocho and Chris in service.

AutoLenders is not worth the no haggle pricing. The Safe Value car I bought at the Princeton location did not live up to the promise. It is a used car, in clean condition with 66,000 miles. With this age and miles, I can expect a few tiny issues. For a no-haggle priced car, I also expect two keys, a current state inspection sticker and no immediate repairs needed.

I found that AL is a used car dealer that makes money on fixed pricing, selling extra warranties and cutting corners. Here's my experience buying from AL. Easy to get an appointment and test drive the car I found online. All four tires were brand new, but the car had a vibration when going over 60MPH. A sway bar link was starting to leak grease. The brakes made a grinding noise, the pads were new, and the rotors were old.

The car had only one key. The rear wiper was old and starting to tear. The oil was just changed. Other fluids appear to be original. The car had a NJ inspection sticker, but I live in PA. I was told I would have to arrange to have it inspected in PA at my cost. The salesman was more interested in selling me an extended warranty than addressing the issues I found on the car.

I asked to see a list of the repairs that AL did before they put the car up for sale. He could not provide one, only saying it was inspected. Did not even offer a Carfax report. The salesman insisted that the car was inspected by their mechanic and is sold as-is at the haggle free price. He would not do a PA inspection, even though AL is registering and titling the car in PA for me.

He would not give me a second key. He would not repair the grinding brakes, sway bar link, wiper or fix the tire vibration. The only offer I received on any of my concerns was another pitch for a warranty and an additional key "at cost" but he could not tell me what my cost would be. My perception of AL went from good, to just meh-ok. I probably should have walked, but bought it anyway and declined the extended warranty.

I believed the advertising that the car was cherry picked and inspected. It was not. I think AL did an oil change, a pad slap, four tires, washed it and put it on the lot to sell. Any competent technician would have uncovered the additional issues I found the next day. All four brakes were not lubricated, and a front caliper slide was rusted and seized.

The bolts were cross threaded. I bought new parts and fixed this myself. The brakes make less noise now, and will stop the car without pulling to the side. I don't know why AL did not provide the original floor mats. The mats have the AL logo embroidered on them. These generic mats do not fit, have large gaps, and slide around under the pedals. For the cost of these logo mats, AL could have provided real fitted car mats.

I had the two front wheels balanced by a tire shop - the vibration is still there, but much less now. The new tires are cheap, no-name, no-reputation tires that may be the reason why it vibrates. Who knows how they will wear, or how long they will last. I expect to live with them for a while and will replace later when I have money to do so. The cabin filter was old and dirty.

Glad I got my vaccination for Covid-19. I followed up with AL regarding the seized brakes and their obvious lack of proper pre-sale inspection. I asked for AL to do a PA state inspection, repairs if needed to pass, and an extra key, for the troubles I have had with the car. A week goes by, a few phone calls and I finally get a response. Since I had already repaired the brakes myself, they would only do the PA state inspection, and nothing more.

On the positive side, I had a good experience with the service department at AL in Exton. No problems getting an appointment, dropping off the car, the state inspection was done same day, no problems found, and they called me when the car was ready. I was in and out as promised.

My first time buying a used car and I was terrified but I have to say it was painless. Joe Milisic was great to work with, I was in and out in under 2 hours, got a good price for my trade in, and left with a good car. Everyone there was low key, the best kind!

Excellent, no haggle car buying experience. I have purchased my 3rd vehicle from Auto Lenders over the last 12 years and each time I have visited their dealership it has been a very positive experience. Eric Buser and Christopher Murphy in the Toms River location are top-notch, straight forward professionals that will help you with your purchase. There is never any "pushiness" or "up-sell".

The price that you see is the price that you will pay plus the appropriate sales taxes along with motor vehicle tag charges. They have an excellent selection of quality cars, all makes and models, that go through a very thorough inspection process. You will have a terrific buying experience with Auto Lenders.

Stopped in Saturday after being very disappointed with Causeway Honda in Manahawkin. Met with Joel and he had the car we were looking for waiting for us. After a test drive, he suggested I drive a few other brands in the same class. By Monday night I was the proud new owner of a Jeep Cherokee! Love the fact that they are a no haggle dealership. They also gave us more for my car in a trade-in then other people had offered us. I would highly recommend you look at Auto Lenders if you're looking for a low mileage used car.

Great quality cars, service, prices and staff. I left there knowing I am in good hands. Mike Simone the salesman was upfront with all the costs. Jesse Vucas guided us easily through all the paperwork and Paul Puglisi was great with financing. Nobody likes to go and spend ours at a dealership. Auto lenders staff took all my info I test drive what I liked, filled out an Application and I said whatever you can make work let me know. And I left and came back the next day. All was done. I would not shop anywhere else. Thank you Auto-lenders for a great experience.

I got jipped a couple hundred dollars last year actually selling my car to them. I had a price and it took them months to accept my price. One of the guys called me and said that they would take my price, but when we sat down to do the paperwork it was much less and then here was the whole let me talk to my manager and try to get this taken care of I can't do anything about it.

We did the whole dance for like an hour and they came to a price a couple hundred short of what I wanted but at that point they had won. I was so aggravated that I thought I was going to go in for a nice and fair transaction and got Joanne the scammer'd/ hustled. So basically the takeaway from this story is always get ur prices in writing. Tell them to email you with the price that they're telling you because their word don't mean anything here; and that's the worst in my opinion. You've been warned.

Been getting my car serviced there for a couple years they always are very honest and take good care of you. Had a great experience with the service manager John. They were shipped the wrong part for the car and was going to take longer than anticipated, but they gave me a rental car no hesitation. Overall great experience highly recommended.

I recently bought my second car with Auto Lenders and am as satisfied with my purchase as the first one 4 years ago. Auto Lenders was better than any local option that I took the 3 hour drive from Baltimore to buy my car in Jersey. My salesman, Steve Price, came over to the Toms River location (close to my family's place) on his day off to help me with my purchase.

Even the owner, Brad, had contacted me to help be part of my purchase. Aside from the great customer service, they actually have high quality used cars and very competitive pricing (generally cheaper than a similar car at CarMax). I plan to continue to buy all my future car purchases from Auto Lenders.

This company claims to buy all cars as a trade in but refused to give me a specific price for my car. Secondly, it claimed that the vehicle had more options than the base model. This was a false claim. Third, it claimed to have great financing but any the specific dealer who sold the same type of vehicle dealer had better financing deals. Fourth, the outside writeup was not at all accurate. Fifth, they have a terrible warranty of only 60 days. I would never recommend these liars to anyone.
