This was by far the BEST experience I ever had in a car dealership. Not the usual runaround. I told them I wanted to stay at my current lease payment with no money down and that's exactly what I got. Short dealership. Not the usual runaround. I told them I wanted to stay at my current lease payment with no money down and that's exactly what I got. Shortly after walking into the showroom I drove away with my beautiful new 2013 Altima. I've bought and leased many cars in my lifetime and always dreaded walking into the showroom,well not anymore. Dave even hooked my phone up to Bluetooth and showed me all the new features of the car while Alex put the temp plates on and dealt with the finishing touches. I can't thank them and everyone else that helped me enough. I would definitely recommend Route 22 Nissan to anyone. Keep up the great work. Joyce Chmiel More

This day was horrible! While car shopping with my parents, we were approached by Bussem, and immediately he had no knowledge of the car we saw on cars.com. Then while we browsed the lot he had no inf parents, we were approached by Bussem, and immediately he had no knowledge of the car we saw on cars.com. Then while we browsed the lot he had no information about the cars we wanted to look at. He couldn't even tell us the difference between the models, of the Nissan Rogue where. Went for a test drive loved the car but once we were done we were told there was no movement on the price. Plus the sticker price was only the financing price, if you put down an expected 3,000 or more. It was very clear that the dealership was pushing everyone towards financing,(very hard). Since we were told there was only $100 off the original price we left, only to realize that he had never giving me my ID back, so we headed back to only get a rude response from Bussem and the rest of the employees. I was told to my face that it was my mothers fault, and he did not have it. Yet come Monday morning my mother called and they had my ID but couldn't tell us where it was found. I would never go back or tell anyone to look there, all the of staff was more interested in the Olympic games then selling cars. Do not go there at all unless you was to be disrespected ! More

GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE FROM BEGINNING TO END. FROM THE TIME I SPOKE ON THE GABRIL ON THE PHONE TO THE TIME I FINISHED SIGNING THE LAST PAPER WITH CHRISTIAN AND DRIVING MY CAR AWAY, I TELL YOU THESE GUYS TIME I SPOKE ON THE GABRIL ON THE PHONE TO THE TIME I FINISHED SIGNING THE LAST PAPER WITH CHRISTIAN AND DRIVING MY CAR AWAY, I TELL YOU THESE GUYS WENT OVER AND BEYOND WHAT ANY CUSTOMER WOULD EVER EXPECT. THE UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES I ENCOUNTERED WITH TRYING TO GET TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY TRADE BRAKING DOWN AND THEN ONLY TO FIND OUT THE TRANSMISSION WAS GONE YOU COULD ONLY IMAGINE THE FEELING. GABRIL PICKED MY FAMILY AND I UP FROM WHERE THE CAR BROKE DOWN AT 9:30 PM AND CHRISTIAN WAITED AT THE SHOWROOM AND WORKED ON THE PAPERS.. THEY MADE SURE WE WERE NOT TAKING THE TRAIN OR BUS BACK TO NEW YORK. I DROVE HOME IN MY NEW CAR. I WOULD BE HERE ALL EVENING WRITING EVERY DETAIL,BUT I JUST WANTED TO SAY THANK YOU TO BOTH OF THEM FOR TREATING ME LIKE FAMILY AND NOT JUST ANOTHER NUMBER. THANKS FOR EVERYTHING. More

After having two very poor experiences in other dealerships, this dealership was such a refreshing delight. I knew what I wanted and expected to pay for the type of vehicle and I was definitely abl dealerships, this dealership was such a refreshing delight. I knew what I wanted and expected to pay for the type of vehicle and I was definitely able to find exactly what I was looking for in this dealership. The staff were friendly and accomodating. I was assisted by Carlos Freitas, Sales Consultant who never once pushed me to buy anything. He listened, patiently waited, reviewed the facts, pros and cons, and warranty information and gave me a chance to think over my purchase. He helped us have a smooth car buying process. I definitely recommend him for anyone looking for their new vehicle! More

I contacted Jenny from Route 22 Nissan in Hillside about an advertised Nissan Versa from craigslist. I told her the stock # and she made me an appointment for July 3 at 7 p.m. When my daughter and I arrive an advertised Nissan Versa from craigslist. I told her the stock # and she made me an appointment for July 3 at 7 p.m. When my daughter and I arrived at the dealership, we located the car in the lot and noticed that the price on the windshield $9995 was $1000 higher than the craigslist advert. We assumed the difference was an internet special. When we entered the dealership we were assigned a salesman, John, who test drove the vehicle with us. After, we came into the salesroom, and were told that the manager was having trouble locating the stock # for the car. Next we were told the craigslist price was an error. We waited in the salesroom for an hour and a half while they "discussed" the issue. We finally left the dealership at 9:30 p.m. with assurances that they would work out the issue and contact us. We did receive a number of phone calls, none of which addressed the issue. Finally on Saturday July 7, our salesman John contacted me. he told me the real price for the vehicle was $12999. The price I saw was a finance price (after a sizable down payment). the craigslist advert was deleted. I told him that the practices of the dealership were sleazy and probably illegal, and he did not disagree. I retained a printout of the original craigslist advertisement and could not find anything that stated the price was for finance only or required a down payment. Disgusting. More
