I will start by writing about previous experiences which were positive. Over the last 10 years, I have leased 4 cars from Open Road Acura. The main reason for my continued business was the ethics of the dealership and the ease they provided to re-lease a car. That all changed this year. To make a very long story short, we turned in our MDX lease and paid ~ 5,600 out of pocket to lease a new RDX. We turned the car in like the previous 3 times and thought all was ok. We received a statement in the mail stating that we owe over $1,700 due to a few issues with the car, a dinged windshield, a tire that although was fine, didnt match the make of the other 3, and a claimed scraping of the bumper. I think the scraping happened there after we turned in the car, but we will never know. If the dealer would have let me know beforehand, I could have had all repaired for ~$80.00 since I had insurance to cover the windshield etc. I would have never leased the car at this time had i known the issues, and only leased another car with this dealer due to previous experience. Never again. Now andrew, the manager up there did help out, but still left us with over $700.00 additional out of pocket. Ive never really haggled with these guys but was now >$6,000 oop on a RDX. They were so intent on making the sale, they ignored all aspects of customer service, and really nailed me on this one. Do not trust this dealership. Get everything in writing, and most important shop around. 10 years, 4 cars and I now say NEVER AGAIN.

It was a pleasant experience with Raymond Lee to purchase our used Honda Accord. He was sincere and patient. Open road Accura of East Brunswick was the first dealership we started our car hunting and we bought our car after the first visit. We felt that they had listed the car for a fair price.

The worst car experience with salesman Michael Young I wasted 2 days 3/4 hours each day; Was quoted a price, signed a contract, paid my cash deposit, declared my trade and did my registration/insurance, also picked car interior/exterior had it cleaned. And was told i was given the wrong price via text message! Now I have receipts and no car! ****DO NOT TRUST THIS DEALERSHIP*****

I serviced my car at this dealer three or four times after I got it. Their facility is really nice, they are all very friendly and polite and professional. My last service there was one of those milestone service which involved a few more things like tire rotation and transmission fluid and cabin filters. After the service was done, they said that I would probably need new tires on my next visit since three of my tire tread had gone down to 4/32. As a result they they said that did not do a tire rotation. I said fine, however I felt a little puzzled since the tires looked OK to me, and when did the penny test, It seemed like there was a substantial tread left. I drove the car for another five thousand miles before the 'B1' service indicator came on and I needed to take the car in for service again. This time I decided to take the car to Park Avenue Acura. The B1 service indicator too involved a tire rotation. After I got the car serviced and the the service advisor spoke to me and said everything was fine with the car. They had done the tire rotation as part of the B1 package. According to to their their evaluation sheet which was more detailed, the wheels with the lowest treads had a measurement 5/32. This was after driving 5000 extra miles! It was a real let down to realize that and I won't be taking my car there from now on

I'm not one to write negative reviews, but my latest experiences with this dealership have prompted me to do so. I am going on my fourth lease with Acura. My first two MDX's were leased through Open Road of East Brunswick. Unfortunately, the sales person I always worked with is no longer there, and I have not been able to find anyone worth dealing with since. This dealership is conveniently located for me, so I have tried multiple times to close a deal with them the past two leases. Every time I left feeling like they wasted a lot my time! They were unfriendly, intimidating, and laughed at me when I tried to negotiate. They told me they could beat any price, but did not even come close to the offer I was given at another dealership. They continued to promise me that the offer I was given would fall through at signing, because it wasn't possible. Then they were pressuring me to sign with them that day, and we're very rude once I decided to walk. I am so happy I did! Not only did the dealership I am with now honor the offer given over the phone, but they also showed me how easy and painless shopping for a car can be. Open Road of East Brunswick clearly does not want me as loyal customer!

I was working a deal with a local dealership near me in South Jersey; Cape May area, which is about two hours from the dealership. I saw a 2014 Acura ILX on Open Road Acura of East Brunswick that caught my eye I had put in a lead and within minutes I got a call from Tiffany. I spoke with her on Monday and she told me the car was still available I could not come in until Saturday. Tiffany followed up with me everyday to give me a update on the ILX and to make sure it was still there before I drove all the way to Central Jersey. Thanks for you help Tiffany!

It is nice when you can be helped with no questions asked. I had called into the dealership and wanted to know if a car was still available.. I had spoken with Tiffany and she had informed me that the vehicle has a deposit on it but if it falls through she would like me know. I never thought I would hear from her again, but the next day my phone rang and it was Tiffany, and she let me know the deal fell there. I went to the dealership that day and got treated amazing. Even the used car manager Mike Clites came around and spoke with me. I will always do busy with this dealership! Thanks again! I am loving my CPO 2015 Acura TLX; Black Cooper Pearl with Parchment!

I purchased my new TLX from Open Road Acura. Raymond Lee was my Sales Person and he was very helpful and a pleasure to work with. I usually hate going into car dealerships but Raymond made it stress free. Not once did I felt pressured into purchasing like many other dealerships do. I traveled from North Jersey but it was well worth the trip. Our Sales Manager, Steve Flaster was wonderful and made the transaction smooth and easy. I recommend Raymond, Steve and Open Road Acura to anyone who is looking to purchase a new or preowned car. You will not be disappointed.

I came Saturday the last day of the month and I knew going in it would be crazy busy. I had bought a car from Barry a little while back and had a good experience with Barry when I was at the dealership. Before I went to the dealership, I was helped by Tiffany. When I was there this Saturday my girlfriend was looking for a car and Barry was busy so Tiffany saw me and came over to me and talked with me, I said I was waiting. My girlfriend and I walked the lot outside and a short while after Tiffany came outside and helped us look at cars and show us different colors and models and even though Tiffany is not a sales consultant she went above and beyond for us until Barry was freed up. We purchased a 2016 Acura ILX that day because of the customer service that was provided to us.

I purchase a pre-owed certified Acura TL from Open Road a year and a half ago. Recently we noticed that there was a small defect with the paint on the front of the car. I stopped in one day to show them my concern and they couldn't have been more accommodating. They scheduled a time to repair the vehicle that was convenient for me. They also gave me a vehicle to use while my car was being repaired. The vehicle was delivered to me in showroom condition, they did a great job. I highly recommend Open Road, they stand by their vehicles.

My father was looking to purchase a new SUV since our 2003 MDX was getting a little old. But he was not sure if he can afford it. We went in to this Acura store and was greeted by our salesperson Steve Tong. He was very patient and pointed out the unique features of the new MDX. We all loved it. But it was over our budget. Steve worked out a lease that we felt comfortably and we drove the new MDX home the same day. Definitely recommended Steve Tong and Open Road Acura of East Brunswick.

Wasn't expected to buy but the deal was great and was comfortable with the process. Salesperson Steven Tong was not pushy. Very informative and caring. A totally different experience that's rare in the car business. Highly recommended.

Been buying Acura's from Open Road East Brunswick, since 1988. Love the car and very pleased with all aspects of Open Road Acura. Their sales person, Antonella was very helpful and knowledgeable. We spent about an hour deciding on which car we wanted and she put us in that car. This was such a pleasure, since I can't deal with sales pressure. Got no pressure at all from Antonella. Always had success with the cars and their service area took care of all our needs since we got our first Acura. Now we are onto our next Acura and have 2 cars from Open Road.

Melvin Morales is a stand up example of what a true salesperson should be. He promised me that no car was off limits and unattainable and he delivered on that promise. I am now the proud owner of a 2014 Maserati Ghibli. As far as I am concerned, not one friend or family member of mine will buy a car if not with Melvin!

I had a great experience buying my new car at Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. I had the pleasure of working with Sales Consultant, Raymond Lee, who is very knowledgeable, helpful, and a pleasure to work with. I felt very comfortable from the minute I walked into the dealership to the time I drove out in my new 2016 Acura MDX. Car shopping could be very stressful but the team at Open Road Acura definitely changed my mind. Not once did I felt pressured into purchasing like many other dealerships do. The whole car-buying process went on very smooth and satisfactory. I am a happy customer of Open Road Acura of East Brunswick and will definitely recommend my friends to have a visit for their car-buying needs. I definitely recommend everyone to ask for Raymond Lee!

Needed to lease a car because my current one is up. Was skeptical when I walked in. But our salesperson Steven Tong was very understanding. I'm retired and living on a fixed income. Steven was able to accommodate us and we got the new 2016 MDX. It has top safety ratings and features we were looking for. And It's not even available on other brands. Definitely recommended.

Michael Young changed our view of what a car salesperson is!! My husband and I loathe buying cars. With only 1 week left on our lease, we had no choice but to start the search. As soon as we walked into Open Road Acura of East Brunswick, Michael Young greeted us professionally and enthusiastically. Outside of being the best dressed salesperson we've encountered, he was also the friendliest and thoughtful. He was beyond patient with us (I take a long time to pick out colors and options). Overall, it was a great experience. My husband and I highly recommend Michael Young and Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. P.S. We LOVE our new TLX AWD!!!!

I came on a Saturday in early Nov 2015 taking a look at the Acura TLX with no intention to buy. Just to look. Lawrence had been my salesperson who greeted me. He showed me the car in and out and I fell in love with it. He had me drive it and get a good feel for it. After that we came inside, worked out some numbers and got me to where I needed to be without any haggle or typical back and forth negotiation. With that said, I had no reason not to buy that same Day. Lawrence also went over the whole car with me and set my up my first oil change appt with the service department. Best and Easiest Dealership would not want to buy anywhere else!

There should be an exception to the 5 star rule! These guys at Open Road Acura East Brunswick, deserve 10 stars!! I recently purchased a 2016 Acura RLX Tech. Now keep in mind this is My 4th Acura so you would assume that the dealer that sold me the 1st 3 cars would hook me up. Not the case. With the help of Scott Harvey the General Manager, Raymond Lee my very knowledgeable sales consultant, Mike Colavito aka Magic Mike and Ron Graybush in finance here's exactly what happened: I'm no stranger to the Acura line up, So I walked in knowing the car I wanted,just had to decide on a color and Have Raymond explain some of the many,many features this car has. . They didn't try to do the switch-a-roo and point me towards something I wasn't looking for, or something they can make more money on etc. I was also returning a leased Acura. I explained to them the deal I was looking for and also told them I was just passing by because I had an appointment and had to be somewhere. I explained to them the deal the other Acura dealer that I purchased my other 3 Acuras from offered me (which was pretty good,but not good enough), Open Road took the best deal I received, chewed it up and spit it out. They called me back about a 1/2 hour later with a better price, and overall way better deal. These guys knew I wasn't playing around or just window shopping and they did everything and beyond, to give me the best deal and then some, and earn me as a customer. They took care of everything from there (paperwork, Lease Return, Insurance stuff, you name it they did it), I just had to come in sign a few papers and roll Away in my 2016 RLX Tech. They did everything they had to do to get me the deal I wanted. Hey! Now that I think about It I should have asked them to stand on their heads and spit nickels, I don't know if thats possible, but one thing I can assure you of Is the Open Road Crew would have tried it if I asked. If your looking for a super easy, smooth, no pressure dealership, that gets the deal you want done, go to see the guys at Open Road Acura East Brunswick. You will be Happy you did. Mike B.

Looking to buy a used car after reaching 200,000 miles on my car. Found a car online and went to the dealer to look at the car in person and take a test drive. Raymond was very knowledgeable about the Nissan I was looking at and pointed out every feature. Went on the test drive and really liked how the car drove. I decided to buy the car and during the negotiation, Raymond and Tarak offered a fair price without over charging for features, fees, etc. Tarak clearly explained all the specifics about the financing and worked to get the best rate. Great overall experience with this dealer! Highly recommend!

Their service team was rude and inconsiderate. I scheduled a visit to have the auto start fixed on the specific day that Open Road of East Brunswick stated the autostart company would be onsite to correct the issue. However, when my wife and child showed up to have the car serviced, they told her that, indeed, the auto start was broken and that should would have to return the following week to have it corrected. Not only is this contrary to what the representative on the phone said it is incredibly inconvenient to make a mother and her kids come back and forth from a dealership when they could have serviced the problem during the first visit.

Out of know where the "man behind the curtain" came out and fed us a line of B.S. Trying to Increase our lease price and give us less money for our trade in. So we left. (Blessing in disguise) we went to INFINITI and now have a Qx60. They gave us exactly what we first negotiated with Acura. INFINITI WOULD NOT LET US LEAVE!!!

I felt like they really weren't that interested in my business. They would not negotiate more than $500 on price for a CPO even when I was able to find comparable cars in neighboring dealerships for a couple thousand less. Also, I know it's a little thing, but I think it's nice when dealerships let you take their cars out for a test drive yourself vs riding along with you. It's like going to an open house... sometimes you just want to look around, discuss with the person you are with, without the sales person following you. I ended up buying a CPO MDX that met the same specifications as one at EB for over 2k less and much friendlier customer service. I get it, they are in business to make money, but if you're like me and trying to save a little where you can, I recommend checking out other dealerships close by.

BUYER BEWARE!!!!! THEY SELL LEMONS, AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT DOES NOT INSPECT THE VEHICLES, NOR DO THEY DO THE INSPECTIONS THAT THEY SAY THEY HAVE!!!!! In November 2014, I found an ebay ad for a 2009 TL SH, Certified Pre-Owned. The car looked good in pictures. I drove 2.5 hours to East Brunswick to test drive the car. Upon arriving at the dealership, I test drove the car with the salesman, John. He offered me an insulting trade quote of about $4,000 less than what my car was worth. I purchased a 3rd party warranty, up to 100,000 miles. Make sure that you read over their contract! They have permanently worked into the sales agreement, a $95 "DEALER WASH AND DETAIL" section. I told the salesman that I would rather do the detail myself, as I would NEVER pay a dealer to "clean" a car for me at that rate. Also, they did not fill my car with fuel, but left it at a 1/2 tank!! I have NEVER purchased a car that wasn't full of gas! As I drove the car home, I noticed that the front passenger side speaker was blown. On Day 2 of owning the car, I noticed a rattling noise coming from underneath the car, which sounded like it came from the exhaust. On Day 4, I reported the noise to the salesman, John. In January 2015, the speaker was fixed under warranty by the dealer near me. In February 2015, I brought the car into the dealer near me for a check engine light, the rattle noise, and an oil change. The dealer said that there was a low oil level, but they did not know why the vehicle was losing oil, and they wanted to do an oil consumption test. I notified the General Manager, Scott, of Open Road Acura East Brunswick of all these issues, and we kept contact of all issues. From the start, he wanted me to bring the vehicle down to NJ in order for Open Road Acura Service dept. to do the repairs. I told Scott that I was not happy with all of the issues with the vehicle that I bought from them, and I found it hard to believe that a Certified Pre-Owned inspection had been done by his dealership. He told me that "mistakes happen. We are human, right?". It is completely unacceptable for a dealership to overlook the areas that are a part of the 150-point CPO inspection!! In March 2015, after not getting any help from the dealer near me to fix my car, I agreed to have Open Road Acura repair my car. I traveled 2.5 hours, 100 miles one-way, and paid $20 in tolls to get there. A few days later, Service Manager Jonnathan told me that they had fixed the rattling noise in my car. He said that the Tech found the rattle noise coming from the catalytic converter heat shield being rusted. The tech "re-clamped" the cat heat shield and (allegedly) performed a complimentary multi-point inspection. The day after I picked the vehicle up, I heard the catalytic converter noise, once again. I recorded a video of the noise and sent it to Scott. Scott wanted me to come back to the dealership ONCE AGAIN, in order for them to fix it. **Also, they NEVER mentioned anything about the oil level being low**, but they did top off all fluids (allegedly). I refused to make the long drive out to them again and told him that I should have the vehicle repaired at MY convenience, at the Acura dealer that I chose. He agreed to pick up any out-of-pocket costs from the Acura dealer. In April 2015, I brought my car to the Acura dealer near me for the final attempt to have it repaired. They confirmed the rattle noise coming from the lower heat shields needed to be replaced. After they said the car was ready, I picked up the car, took it for a drive and STILL found the rattle noise!! **AGAIN, this dealer didn't mention the low oil level** After not having my vehicle fixed, I notified Open Road GM, Scott. He wanted me to bring the car back to their dealer. I brought my car to my personal ASE certified mechanic. He found an oil leak from the oil pressure switch, the rattle noise coming from the catalytic converter, and a broken catalytic hanger. I can confidently say that I will NEVER buy another Honda/Acura product. Do yourself a favor: DO NOT BUY FROM THIS DEALER, or ANY ACURA DEALER!!!! THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT NEEDS A SAFETY AUDIT!!!

If more dealerships treated people the way Mike did you would not need to shop around. without even trying I ended up leasing the TLX myself.

Even paint was taken out and one can see the steel of the body. We called and went back to dealership. Problem was resolved after couple weeks by having a auto body folks had them repaired.

I had taken my MDX for standard oil change at Acura Open Road (East Brunswick) dealership on 2/26/2015. After oil change when we brought the car home we noted that there was a big (one foot long) scratch on the passenger side (left side of the vehicle). Even paint was taken out and one can see the steel of the body. We called and went back to dealership. We were being told by Tom (service consultant) that it does look like a scratch but he can't do anything about it since his Service Manager (Jonathan Ventura) was gone for the day. Next day Jonathan called back and without even seeing the car he told me that it was not done at the dealership. When I demanded to see the video tape I was being asked to come back in few days as tapes are with outside security company as they do have video camera to capture car's in and out of garage. I received a call on Tuesday (3/3/2015) that video tapes are in. When I went to view the tape on Saturday (3/7/2015) I was told by Jonathan that there are no tapes. Security Company didn't had tape to show for the car going into or out of garage. He further stated that video camera only captures activity of route 18 into the dealership. When I point out the camera that hanging outside of garage Jonathan informed me that camera doesn't work. I also complained to General Manager of this Dealership on 3/20/2105. However, it was in vein. He stated the same story. As a matter of fact he replied back by saying his valet attendant, his repair technician (who had actually performed the oil change) and car detailing attendant (one who had washed my car after service) all have informed him (after 3 weeks since the incident originally took place) that my car had a scratch when it was brought in. However, no one from dealership had mentioned this to us while the car being services there on 2/26/2015. In nutshell, I was told that dealership will split the cost of the repair but they won't pay full price for the damage. I ended up taking the car back to dealership on 3/13/2015 where Jonathan had called one of their collusion body shop consultant to take a look at my car. They estimated the repair cost of $600 of which I will pay $300 and dealership will pay $300. I picked up my car back on 3/19/2015, after paying $321. 15.

Ed Mosley is by far the best service representative that I know! The radio on my MDX was malfunctioning but the problem was not always appearent. Ed listened to my problem and eventhough he didn't find the issue at first he persisted in resolving issue. In the 30 years that I have been getting my cars serviced never did I encounter such an excellent service represetative.

Raymond helped us transition from the old vehicle to the new one seemlessly. If you are thinking about a new Acura I recommend this dealership and Raymond Lee without reservation.EK

My experience buying a 2015 TLX was excellent. Raymond Lee was knowledgeable and professional. The negotiation for new car pricing and trade-in went smoothly and quickly. In under 3 hours, I test-drove a car, negotiated a price, the vehicle and documentation prep'ed and I was on my way home with a new TLX. If you are in the market for an Acura, this is the place to go..

We were looking at a pre-owned vehicle online that was for sale through Open Road Acura.I emailed an inquiry and within minutes I had a reply from on of their salesmen, Anthony Pinto.I explained to Anthony what I was interested in and stated that I was looking for a "no hassle, no pressure" experience. I appreciate a straight forward approach and despise the games some car dealerships play. Anthony assured me that there would be no "games". He was true to his word.We purchased the vehicle and the entire experience was pleasant and "pain free". I would gladly do business with both Open Road and Anthony again. Thanks for a great car purchase without the hassles.

I have been to many Acura Dealers for car shopping and I have never came across this gentleman Raymond Lee. Thats right! Remember that name when you walk in to this dealership and make sure you find him. Even if he is not available just be patient and wait for him, its worth it! Raymond is not a typical car sales person who judges you on the way you dress and if you can afford a car or not. He greets you with the respect you deserve and patiently works with you until you understand what you are buying. There was no pressure to buy nor did I feel that I'm going to be wasting 6 hours in the dealership. He makes it very comfortable and pleasant. I came to this dealership from a friend referral and I'm glad I did. I know I'm going to be telling my entire family, friends, and coworkers about Raymond Lee and making sure he gets MY BUSINESS. Thanks again for such a wonderful buying experience. I'm enjoying my Acura TLX!

I checked the MDX model cars in their site and found few of cars matched my choice, so i called them and went to showroom. The Sales Person (Raymond Lee) was really friendly and helped me to choose the right car for my need (2011 Acura MDX Entertainment package - Certified). Car was really clean, tires, brakes were changed. Took the test drive and I said I'm ok with this. Then we negotiated the price for a bit and bought the car. Price was already less compare to other dealer so couldn't bargain much. They gave me 2 years warranty and i paid $1,900+ to get warranty for 3 more years/100K. Peace of mind for another 5 years. Really a nice deal.They arranged the finance very quickly (I had excellent credit score). Overall it was quick and nice transaction.-Muthu

I was recently there to have my Acura serviced so I went up to check out their new models and Ray saw me and my dad and came to us to talk to us about our experience with Acura. He spent a lot of time with us explaining about the TLX model since I was not very familiar with it. He then took us out for test drive and answered all our questions. Overall it was one of the best experience I have ever had at a car dealer. He did not try to sell me hard as I am not looking to buy a car right now. He just wanted to re-establish my relationship with Open Road Acura. But if someone is looking for a car, I am going to recommend they go see Ray before making a purchase. He is very good. Let me also add their services is highly professional and make sure that you are satisfied. The only thing is that I wish they were close to where I live, Well, you can't have everything.

I was looking to purchase a used Mazdaspeed3 and came across one at Open Road Acura. The car was newer with low miles and in great condition, and had been listed already for a full month, so I was suspicious going into the sale, as this indicated to me that other buyers had likely come and gone. Additionally, the dealership had originally priced the vehicle $1k above the high end of the KBB fair market dealer value range and $3k over the KBB dealer fair price, so I was worried about negotiations. Things went better than expected.The salesman, Tarak, had the patience of a saint, very relaxed, not overly pushy. I wasn't questioned at all when I asked to take the vehicle for a test drive (some dealerships have a thing about customers test driving sports cars), and given a long drive with ample time to log data from the vehicle's OBD port and look over the car. Failing to find anything wrong with the vehicle, and noting that the reconditioning work performed was good, we successfully negotiated what was in my opinion a very fair price on the vehicle.Here's where I was really impressed. I stated up front that I wanted to finance it through a third party. I also told them that I was interested in getting a warranty through a third party. They went ahead and ran my credit and made a surprisingly appealing offer. I told them I still wanted to investigate financing and warrantying through the third party. They said that I could go get a loan and bring it with me the next day and they would hold the car for me (generous of them). They also said I was welcome to call the third party and get an offer on the spot...so, I did, and they waited while I called, which took over a half hour thanks to said third party's horrible freaking phone system. I discovered a problem with the third party's program that was not to my liking, and ended up financing through the dealership. They let me store my old car at their dealership and take the car I purchased home with me so that I could take it to my shop the next day in my home state (PA) and get a full inspection. I told them to basically check everything because I had no knowledge of the vehicle's history. I was relieved to find that everything was as the dealer said it would be. All of the fluids were brand new and everything was in excellent shape.Overall, I was very pleased with my transaction with Open Road Acura. Even though I was buying a used sub-$20k compact, they took the sale seriously and were very respectful and patient throughout the process. The only real knock I can give them is that the carpet in the driver's area had road salt in it from the previous owner, which I paid a detailer to spot clean, however, it's inexpensive and minor, and I don't count this against them because the rest of the reconditioning was more thorough than average, and the only thing the car needed the day I picked it up was a rear wiper blade and a driver.

First the positive: The salesman Michael Young was great; didn't even feel like I was talking to a salesmen. We had a very friendly and professional back and forth conversation and we finally agreed on price. The purchase price for the vehicle was way below what it should have sold for and they gave me a very fair price for my trade. Sounds like a win/win, right? Nope!Now the negative: I was supposed to receive a check back for my trade as we only applied a portion of the trade allowance towards the purchase price. They failed to give me a check and I actually forgot to ask for it when I completed the transaction. I called the dealership the next AM, the salesman had a day off so I was put through to the sales mgr. She told me the deal didn't make it up to accounting yet because it needed a signature by Michael P., Used Car Mgr., but he will be in at 12. Once he comes in he will sign and accounting will issue the check. That was reasonable. Later that afternoon I get a call from Mike P. telling me I can not get a check because they are waiting to get funded from the bank on my purchase plus they haven't sold my trade either. I told him I was never told that by either the salesman or the F & I guy, and the sales Mgr. told me that morning that I will get a check cut when he comes in.Mike P. proceeded to argue and get a bit agitated, he said their policy is to wait until they get funded and it can take a week or more. We went back and forth on this as I tried explaining this was not previously explained. He then got loud and told me the only reason they did the deal was because he was trying to get one more unit sold to close out July, I believe for some bonus or incentives based on unit volume. But by the time I picked up the car they had already closed the books for July so there was no incentive anymore to do the deal; therefore he repeatedly told me to bring the car back! This made no sense, I already signed and drove, I never forced them to do the deal. Sounds like they made a bad deal and he was trying to back out; but it was a little too late.We hung up and Mike P. said he will call me back; which he did and at that time he agreed to cut a check the next day as he verified I was mis-informed and he will brake policy and issue a check prior to getting funded. I thanked him, even though he was rude and unprofessional, I just wanted my check and hung up. Problem resolved right? Nope!The next day Mike P. calls my cell phone and starts yelling at me accusing of me making numerous calls that day to the dealership harassing various people. I tried explaining I didn't make any calls, he was getting inaccurate information. We went back and forth a few minutes and then he just abruptly hung up. 15 minutes later I got a call from the salesman telling me they will overnight my check. I thanked the salesman, especially being he was great through the entire process figuring I would receive the check the next day as promised. I also emailed Michael Morais, COO of Open Road, he quickly responded apologizing and said he will be back to me quickly after he spoke with all involved. Now I thought I'd have a resolution!? Not a chance!Next day I never receive a check as promised, even worse, not even a courtesy call from anyone with the dealership, nothing from Michael Morais or his office telling me the check didn't go out. A big "0" for customer service.

We just bought a new 2015 MDX from Raymond Lee. He is very professional from the beginning to the end. There is a small mis-communication during the process, but he quickly resolve the issue and move the deal back on track. The transaction was handled smoothly and the finance guy, Ron Graybush, is very helpful on the Acura maintenance program and extended guarantee. We bought 4 year maintenance package with 7 year extended warranty. We got what we wanted. Thanks, Open Road Acura.

My service manager was Ed. I had my Acura 2010 TSX for flood damage. I had to call them for update. Ed was never available on the phone. If you leave a message, you never get a return call from them. I had to call twice or three times a day to get an update. I was promised to get my car back after a week, but it took them one extra week. Very poor customer service. Finally, ED started calling me back, because he wanted approval to get extra work done in the car. Repairs outrageously priced. When finally I went to pick up the car, the price quoted over the phone by Ed was not honored and I wound up paying ridiculous amount of money. Never going to this dealership again.

I took my parents to 2 car dealers before I saw the ad for a nissan altima at open road. Mike walked over I told him the car we came to see and thats what he showed us. No extra car dealer bs just right to what we came for. We asked for the car fax he produced it, we went for a test drive he answered all the questions. My mom loved the car we bought it. Nice people, easy transaction no BS thank you Mike. Lol he even told my parents what a wonderful daughter they had. Teresa from East Windsor NJ

Recently we bought an Acura 2014 MDX from Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. Purchasing a new car is exciting but also stressful, Trying to understand various features of the car and negotiating the price back and force with sales person and manager made us really nervous. Fortunately we have met MR. Raymond Lee as our sales consultant. His excellent service made the entire purchasing process easy, efficient and pleasant. Mr. Raymond Lee was very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable about the car. All our questions have been answered with patience and respect. His attitude, personality and expertise quickly won our trust. We picked up the car on Thursday that was his day off. However, for our convenience, Mr Raymond Lee showed up, postponed his appointment and stayed with us over 2 hours until the transaction was completed. When finally driving out we were happy and 100% satisfied. Thank Mr. Raymond Lee ! Y.W. E

We bought an Acura RDX 2014 from this dealership and the experience was very pleasant. The sales-professional Anthony was very knowledgeable about the car, courteous and easy to negotiate price with. When the vehicle color/interior we selected was not available at his dealership, he quickly located a car at another dealership and procured it for us. Unlike other dealerships, he took enough time to explain us the operation of the various features of the car and do an initial set-up for us when we went to pick up the car. I would heartily recommend this dealership and Anthony.

I was directed to Open Road by Autotrader. I was looking for a used 370Z. Boom, after a couple of hours, there it is! A mint looking (picture wise) '09 Z with my name all over it. So, I go up there and view the vehicle. In the description on Autotrader, there was never a mention of a slight crack in the front bumper/paint peeling. It was a small, 5" x 5" area on the "fang" of the Z. It was nothing more than someone parking and clipping the curb, it was clearly not an accident level of damage. No biggie, moved on. I wanted to buy it. I figured they'd either 1) fix it before I bought it based on my wants and needs or 2) offer money to pay for some of it. Long story short, I bought the vehicle for a great price and they gave me a good price for my car. It was a happy story until it came to get the front bumper fixed...but, I should've expected it. They "washed their hands of it." Fast forward 3 years--the car is great. A couple weeks ago I go to trade in my Z (which, I absolutely adore and baby, by the way) and I have the salesman come back to me with a Carfax report. Oh, can you guess what happens next? "Sir, you have a rear impact tied to this vehicle." The Z has 7K on it. Why would I assume it had a rear impact? Everything looked great and I was never told that. Not even a hint. You want to know what that cost me? 3K on a trade in. 3K may not be a lot to all of you, but it certainly is me and it makes a nice difference on a monthly car payment. I just want to personally thank you, Open Road Acura, for your inability to tell the truth and fit the stereotypical "stealership" mold. Not to mention your salesman should probably have a slightly better education on the vehicles you sell. I don't think mine knew the difference between an automatic and a stick shift. I would never recommend anyone go here to buy their vehicle unless new...simply because they can't hide much there (or can they?).

This is one of the worst service related Acura Dealership in Central Jersey. I went in with a HFL Module issue where battery would drain overnight. They made me replace battery first after confirming it was a battery only issue. My battery was new but they stil had me change it. On my way back home after battery change, after driving 5 mins on the expressway, the car electronics started fluctuating, I hastily pulled to a roadside garage and turned the car off. When trying to turn the car back ON, the car was just dead, even the doors wouldnt open. When I opened the hood, I saw that the RED terminal of battery had came off because it was not even tightened. WOW to workmanship of a trusted Acura Dealership. I made an angry call to the service center and they were not least bit worried. The lady said, Im sure it was not intentional, what do you want me to do about it. Great customer service right, talking to an irate customer who is standing on the road because of your poor work quality. They were nice enough to give me a free oil change the next time you come. And my Bad that I went there again.The issue persisted as the issue was not battery anyways. This time when I went, my Service Manager was Ed. Even before taking the car for service he said this looks like a bad HFL module (proving it was the most common problem, then why didnt you check for it in the first place). Anyways, I left the car there and took the loaner home. He called me later and said I needed to replace the HFL Module as its the Hands Free Link that had an issue. When I asked how much its going to be, Ed said the part is 700$ and I am giving you a discount that I am not even supposed to give. So including part n labor it will come out to be $495. When looking online on how much people had paid for it and my neighbor was quoted for it for same 2007 MDX, the price sounded wrong.When I went to pick the car and looked at the invoice, the cost of the part they charged me was $335. Just to make sure I wasnt missing anything, I called Acura of Bridgewater and they said that part was $258. When I told the service manager he said oh that Acura Dealership is not Open Road so we cant really compare with them. I told him you do not represent Open Road for me, you represent Acura. When I pressed further and asked Ed to call Bridgewater and check the price himself, which he said he is not allowed to do. Ed then went and talked to his Manager" named Dave who supposedly was at Acura of Bridgewater dealership for 9 years. After 20 mins of talk they came out and said okay we gonna call that dealership. They then "supposedly" made a call to someone in Acura of Bridgewater and asked him the price of the same part. I obviously couldn't hear anything but when Dave hung up the phone he said they are saying the same price as 335 which we are charging. I asked him to put it on speaker phone and call which he conveniently avoided.Dave continued to say that these dealership under ball the prices on phone to attract them and there business practices are not very good etc. Basically bad mouthing that dealership. He again tried to bad mouth Bridgewater Acura to which I ask him to "SHUTUP". I had also called Open Road Acura of Wayne, NJ and they had priced me 271 for same part. So then I told them you guys are outrageously pricing it, even other Open Road dealerships are 20% or more less then yours. To which Dave then shutup and said let us talk to another manager. Then after making me wait another 20 mins when Ed talked to Another Manager he gave me a price of 268.Im putting my experience down so people beware of the MAKE GOOD FEEL they try to give you, check their pricing, verify the workmanship and beware that underneath they may charge you rip off prices. ex: "Oh this part is $700 and Im giving you a discount that Im not even supposed to give you. BOTTOM LINE. DONT GO TO OPEN ROAD ACURA OF EAST BRUNSWICK. If you have to go then price match them with other Acura Dealerships and make sure you dont pay more then what you should. These guys are liers and fakers.

My husband and I took a short drive from Staten Island to look at the new 2014 MDX. We were just starting to look around at the car and planned to visit all the local Acura dealerships. We started with this one because it is the closest to the Island. We were greeted by Chris- a fellow Staten Islander who was fairly new to the store. Within 2 hours, we were proud owners of the new MDX. Chris, as well as his management team made us feel welcome, comfortable, and made the entire process seamless and easy. Chris took the time to make sure we selected the perfect model to fit our needs- and obtain what we felt was a very good deal. If you're in the market for a new Acura- go see Chris and his management team for an excellent experience.

About two years ago, we purchased a Acura TSX Sports Wagon at Open Road and had a very pleasant experience. When we had a second kid, we decided to trade in the TSX for a 2014 Acura MDX-AWD. Naturally, we went back to Open Road. The sales consultant we previously worked with and liked a lot was no longer at the dealership. We got to work with Antonella Zuckerman this time. She was pleasant, knowledgeable and professional. She was reasonable throughout the negotiating process and tried to get us the best price possible. We were very pleased with the whole purchasing experience once again. Also, later, when I couldn't locate the lower anchors for the LATCH system for the car seats (I thought they were missing!), Antonella responded right away to my call and patiently walked me through locating the anchors in the midst of me throwing a hissy fit! Would definitely recommend checking out Open Road to anyone interested in Acura.

Dhwanika was very pleasant and she understood my reservation about making such a big purchase without my husband. She explained the MDX and it's features during our test drive and even helped me personalize a few hands free link voice commands which I thought I was going to have trouble with. During our negotiation she made sure to address both me and my husband who was on the phone the whole time with respect. She made the whole process so easy and stress free, I was impressed. She even went out of her way to make sure the car delivery process was in a timely manner since it was a big holiday event for my family and I had to be home by a certain time. All in all she has become my go to person at the dealership, she's always available and answers all my silly even not so silly Questions.

I got a very fair price the RLX and a reasonable price for my Mercedes E350 trade. They had the color combo in stock and I was out the dealer in a quick period of time. The sales and finance managers were all very accommodating and know how to treat their customers very well. I would definitley come back and recommend the East Brunswick team.

I was shopping to lease a new TL and just happened to walk in on a busy Saturday. My sales person Matteo M. spent a lot of time explaining the different lease options and loyalty benefits. I was happy with my purchase experience it was easy and no pushy. They really answer all your Qs and I recommend the dealership to all my friends and family.

I've been driving Acura RL since 1997 and the product speaks for itself. However, I've never encountered a salesman such as the likes of John Genovese aka Geno. He was extremely knowledgable if product, no sales pressure and answered all my questions. Represented my needs to his sales manager Cally Pivano accurately. Worked on getting me a good deal as promised. Finance gentleman Ron was very helpful in picking out the right packages for my needs. Overall a great experience, wonderful dealership and definitely coming back in 3 years. Would definitely have Geno as my sales person again.

I came to the dealership after shopping around at BMW, Infiniti and Mercedes. I had decided that I wanted an Acura RDX. Michael Young who was my salesman was very helpful and patient. He took me on a test drive, described the standard features and he didn't push me into one model over another. We went over my options for buying versus leasing which helped me decide what I wanted to do. The vehicle purchasing did not take long. Mr. Young has been continuously helpful even after purchasing the vehicle.

The dealership and the sales executive were wonderful. They got me exactly the car I wanted when I wanted it and for the appropriate price. Everything was done in a few hours -- talking about cars, test driving cars, coming to a deal, etc. And then when I returned as planned 6 days later to pick up the car, all of the leasing paperwork was ready for me, insurance cards were available to me, and I could have been in and out in less than an hour, except it took awhile to go through the new features of the car. That was important to stay longer. It was a great experience.

I recently came in to Open Road Acura of East Brunswick to look at the MDX and was immediately approached by an extremely pleasant salesman named Rudy. Right from the start he acted professionally in regards to my needs and made my whole car buying experience a pleasurable one. His manager, Cally Pivano, was of a different class in relation to sales. She was completely attentive to my needs and to what specifically I was looking for. Never in my life have I seen a better manager and will recommended everyone to work with her specifically. Thank you so much Cally. You made buying a car a truly exciting experience!!

After searching everywhere for a potential dealership to send my business to, I decided the MDX was calling my name, and thus headed over to this Acura to check it out. As I have always preferred BMW as my brand of choice, I was quite surprised with how Rudy was able to eloquently list its features to me, in a way that had me convinced within a short time frame.Rudy is not only knowledgable about what he is selling, he is also a professional through and through. I didn't feel like I was being tricked into buying a car. Instead, I felt like a close friend was truly giving me their honest opinion about a potential purchase I was making. Needless to say, I bought the car, and have no regrets about it. If you are considering Acura as your car dealer, ASK FOR RUDY!! He is the best!

Customer Service: 1.0 Buying Process: 2.0 Overall Facilities: 2.0

I purchased a 2009 used jeep wrangler from this dealership for my son. I worked with Anthony, who was by far a great person, and a stand up guy who followed through and kept his word. I also dealt with the used car manager Mike Piccolo who was my best friend while I was in the buying process but when that was done so was he. As agreed in my contract I was to bring the vehicle to a jeep dealership to have the tire pressure sensors repaired at his expense. He explained that he would call them and set it up. I wanted the appt. in Toms River close to home. I get a message that he made the appt. and to bring car into be serviced. My wife took a morning off to bring the vehicle and the dealership in Toms River had no appt and no idea why we were there. We called Open Road and they called Mike on his day off to find out what was up. Mike explained to my wife that his assistant made the appt. in Freehold. My wife explained that we told him Toms River, why would we drive a half hour to Freehold? He explained to my wife that it was his day off and he would take care of it in the office the next day. I guess our time is less valuable then his. The next day after several calls to Mike, we confirmed a Monday appt. he had set up. I arrived at the jeep dealership Monday and I was given an estimate which I explained that Mike from Open Road had made the appt and I assumed spoke with them about who was paying. NEVER ASSUME. I called Mike from the jeep dealer but he was not in until 1 and no one else could help. I called back Open Road at 1:15 because I needed to get this problem resolved and was tired off waiting for a return call. After several more attempts, I called Anthony explained the problem and after several calls back and forth resolved the problem. To this day Mike has never called back or attempted to apologize for HIS total lack of professionalism and arrogance. I would never recommend this dealership because of there lack of customer service. The Acura of which I own one is a phenomenal vehicle and speaks for itself but the dealership that sells them also needs to be phenomenal and Open Road, and Mike need to step down a peg or 2.

Few days ago we got married and wanted to get a new car which we always dreamed about. We were still working on our budget since we were getting married we were working on the budget which was very tight haha. But we didn't give up and shopping never thought its impossible. We were shopping for Acura TL. For a few days we visited few dealerships and we got nothing expect rude sales people, poor customer service and ignorance. Day before our wedding my husband found a perfect car for us in OPEN ROAD ACURA in New Brunswick. It was late but we decided to give it a shot and call dealership. We were Lucky! Someone picked up the phone. It was Michael Young one of the sales-mans. He listen carefully our needs and was very supportive. we schedule our appointment with him next day, few hours after wedding. He was super exited and we were to. When we met him he was very friendly, professional and worked out for us very suuuuuuper great deal right on our budget. Guys he did tremendous job because I have to mention that we never financie anything before so our budget was small but our needs super high hahha. But there is nothing impossible for Michael Young . He goooooot it for us! We left with car we dreamed about thanks to him, his charm and deal he worked out for us . THHHHHHHHHHHHANK YOU MICHAEL!!!!!!!! As soon as we establish our credit we coming back for next deal :)Also we are new in financing department so he was very patient and explained us everything from a to z :) and trust me I have always gazilion questions.Last part before you will leave dealership with your new ride is to go through financial part and paper work which is massive haha. Michael took us to meet JOSE GARCIA - Business Manager to deal with a paper work. We were sitting in his office and saw our new car waiting in through the window and piles of paper we have to go through hahha- torture - we wanted to be OUT ! and enjoy new car ! hahha..... but JOSE was outstanding - he made so quick and simple that we were siting in the car in nooo time. He was also very helpful, patient, explained everything and gave us few sweet deals !!!!! He is brilliant and organized seconds and handle paper work in seconds :) THHHHHHHHHANK YOU for made this experience sooooo easy and fun for us!

The salesman, Mark Hurant, was very knowledgeable, friendly and attentive. He said he would get us a good price, and when he brought the manager over, we got a good price. We came in on a Monday, saw a few cars, and got a price on the one we thought we wanted. We came back the next day (Tuesday) and saw the car again, negotiated with the manager, got the price lowered and some accessories thrown in, and bought the car. The finance person was also very nice and very efficient. All in all, it was a very good experience.

I will start by saying Amanda (Service Consultant) was extremely pleasant and courteous. However, the Service Manger Don left me feeling insulted ad unwelcomed at Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. I took my 2006 Acura TSX in to be serviced on a Thursday - without an appointment. Amanda was accommodating and the facilities were very nice so I did not mind the wait. Amanda took the time to explain to me what the diagnostic tests revealed and I agreed to have my car serviced. Amanda went above and beyond extending courteous and thoughtful customer service by offering me a loaner car without my asking. Six days later, I went to pick up my car and paid the $1,195.00 without protest. When I went to my car, I noticed my front seats (driver and passenger) were ruined. It was evident that inside of my car had gotten wet. Given that the weather included not only rain showers, but downpours between Thursday, June 30th and Weds, July 3rd - I told Don I believe someone had left the car windows open; further evident by the 1/4 inch of water in my cup holder. Don was extremely rude and unconcerned as he told me he could not believe my seats were not already ruined when I bought the car in. Don also refused to give me a business card and would not provide me with the name of anyone with more authority than himself. Don continued to be belligerent without offering any resolve for the ruined seats. My personal experience lends credibility to the many negative reviews I have read on other sites.

Both my wife and I went to OpenRoad Acura after we had visited a few other local Acura dealers. The other dealers didn't compare to the personal and professional way that we were treated at Open Road Acura. When we called to check if they had the RDX that we were looking to purchase, not only did they have a vast inventory but they also provided us with a name of a sales representative who would be able to help us. There was no waiting time for the rep to attend to us. He was able to answer all our questions and made buying a new car a pleasurable experience - the way it should be.

I went to Open Road Acura to look at an MDX but was not sure if I was going to purchase one. I was greeted at the door by a very friendly and knowledgable sales person named John Genovese. He was not pushy and did not make me feel like I had to buy a car because I walked into the showroom. He was very passionate about the cars and patient with all my questions. John conducted himself with integrity and sincerity- 2 words not typically associated with car salesmen.I was also pleased that I wasnt there for the entire day. The whole process went pretty quickly considering I was trading a car as well. Cally Pivano worked with me on a deal to get a price that was acceptable which helped in my decision to purchase the Acura MDX. She was pleasant and accommodating. Overall, I had a very plesant experience at Open Road Acura. I will definitely go back and visit John Genovese again! I have already referred John to some of my friends.

We had our 2005 Acura MDX serviced by Open Road Acura of East Brunswick for air conditioner issues on May 8-9, 2013. The Service Department recommended that the air conditioner compressor be replaced for $1745.67 after a full diagnostic test was done. We agreed to have the repairs done. We did not have any issues with the service until this weekend. Unfortunately, while in a parking lot this Sunday, May19th, we noticed that oil and transmission fluid was leaking from the car. We requested AAA to tow the vehicle to the nearest AAA Car Care Center to have the car checked since the vehicle can no longer be driven due to excessive loss of oil. We would have taken the vehicle back to your dealership if it was not Sunday and the Service Department was closed. Upon inspection by the AAA Car Care Center, they found out that the transmission cooling line that enters the radiator has pulled out of the radiator. The vehicle lost all of its transmission fluid and coolant. Also, they noticed that the power steering pressure switch was unplugged. AAA fixed the issue by replacing the MDX's radiator. Parts and service for the radiator replacement cost us $873.67. Based on the repair report, it was evident that our MDX's problem was caused by negligence and poor service done by Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. My complaints to the General Manager of the dealership was forwarded to Don, from the Service Department, who left a message and alleges that the cause of the issue was rust at the hose due to the age of the car. When AAA looked at the vehicle, they showed us what caused the leak. There was no rapture on the transmission cooling line - instead the line that enters the radiator had pulled out of the radiator. There was no rust on the joint that connects this line to the radiator. This joint is normally screwed tight and the only way that it can be pulled out is if it was accidentally hit during the compressor replacement. For the Service Department to replace the compressor of our MDX, they would have to remove the component that is very close to the radiator. The compressor replacement procedure even warns that one should be careful not to damage the radiator fins when installing the A/C compressor - this indicates that the compressor is very close to the radiator and it is possible that it was accidentally hit during the compressor replacement. The AAA report was very clear - "the transmission cooling line that enters the radiator was pulled out of the radiator". The report did not indicate the presence of rust or that the line was ruptured. It clearly states that it was pulled out. Aside from this, AAA calls out that the power steering pressure switch was unplugged. Open Road has not provided an explanation on how this could have occurred. We are very unsatisfied and upset by the service performed and the responses provided to date by the Service Department of Open Road Acura of East Brunswick. When we decided to have our MDX serviced by the dealership, we thought we would be getting quality service and we will have peace of mind for the services rendered - especially since we paid premium for the service. After the amount we paid to have the car serviced for the air conditioner, we never thought that the service done would be so unsatisfactory that it can cause us undue stress and possibly put our family in harm's way. Negligence caused by their Service Department cost us $ 873.67 for parts and repair service. We had to put a halt to our day's plans to address the issues caused be their negligence. The only silver lining is that the leak was noticed while the vehicle was parked - before we drove the car with our kids. We cannot imagine what could have happened if this occurred while we are driving the vehicle. Open Road Acura of East Brunswick prides itself as a Dealership of Distinction. It is unfortunate that they advertise this achievement and claim the they set the standard for client satisfaction when they do not eve

We love both our cars and have taken good care of both vehicles by following all the recommended maintenance services. This recent situation has convinced us that Acura is not worth the money spent - both for the product and the services.
