Professionalism I went to Cadillac of Mahwah when Gary Monneka was there and bought a Cadillac. That being said when he went to Hawthorne Chevy I had no recourse but I went to Cadillac of Mahwah when Gary Monneka was there and bought a Cadillac. That being said when he went to Hawthorne Chevy I had no recourse but to go there and lease a Chevy!!! He is soooo helpful and he puts up with me! And all my emails and phone calls. He is a true gentleman and a wonderful trusting salesman. I live quite a few miles away from Hawthorne with a Chevy Cadillac dealership near my house but a great salesman is worth the trip!!! Thank you Gary More
A Pleasant Experience As most of us feel when walking into a car dealership we have our guard up and are a bit skeptical. I went to Hawthorne Chevy in search for a car for As most of us feel when walking into a car dealership we have our guard up and are a bit skeptical. I went to Hawthorne Chevy in search for a car for my son. A gentlemen named Gary Monnecka came out to greet us. He was not only highly knowledgeable about the selection of automobiles available, he went above and beyond to help us find a well suited vehicle and made sure every detail of our purchase went smoothly and was taken care of. What was most impressive was his honesty. He was direct and yet very personable. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a car to visit Hawthorne Chevrolet and ask to work with Gary. Thank you for all your help Gary, it was greatly appreciated!!! More
SCAM ARTISTS: BUYERS AND LEASERS BEWARE Buying or leasing a car can be a stressful experience for consumers. And I feel it is my duty as a consumer to warn others when I have had a horrific Buying or leasing a car can be a stressful experience for consumers. And I feel it is my duty as a consumer to warn others when I have had a horrific experience or whenever I encounter crooks. I hope this review helps you make a better purchasing decision, because we all work hard for our money, and I would not want you to fall into the same trap I did when I tried to lease a car at Hawthorne Chevrolet in New Jersey. I can assure you, this is not a place to negotiate if you are looking for an honest salesmen who offers and sticks to a fair price. (see below) I spent 2 weeks working on a deal with Gary Monnecka. Each day we spoke and each day he forget what we agreed to on the previous day. It's as if he had amnesia from one day to the next, as he attempted to change his offer throughout the entire process. The day finally arrived where I supplied Gary with all the necessary paperwork. Gary processed and vetted all the paperwork, got his affairs in order and then submitted to me in writing an approved deal that I felt was fair. I was then instructed to provide a deposit and to call my insurance company. I gave Gary the deposit to hold the cars and provided the insurance ID card and binder. The only task left to do was to sign paperwork and pick up both cars. BUT then, Gary started making accusations, that I misunderstood the deal, that he couldn't apply some of the discounts he had promised. He began to play games after he had taken a deposit and told me the deal and all the paperwork was approved. He began his scam by raising one of the lease prices, justifying his decision with reasons we never agreed to and reasons that were never disclosed to me. I then spoke with Jeffrey Mays who is the general manager, pleaded my case and was told to be patient while he reviewed the information from Gary that I provided to Jeffrey in writing. Seven hours later, and only after I reached out via email, I received a response from Jeffrey. Jeffrey had decided to increase the price on both leases, again justifying the increase with reasons I had never agreed to. Apparently, to cover his backside, Gary had told his boss lies about what we agreed upon as an approved deal. I suspect Gary approved a deal he was not supposed to offer customers and his boss tried to correct Gary's mistake at my expense. Gary is a shady character and his boss Jeffrey is a disgrace to the profession. Jeffrey should not be a general manager who handles customers and obviously tried to correct a mistake his employee made. To side with an employee over a customer that has written proof of an approved deal, vetted paperwork and whom provided a deposit is absurd. It's not only that they raised the prices after I had an approved deal, put a deposit down, and had my insurance company supply documentation, it's how much of my time they wasted. If they see no value in your time and are willing to string you along for as long as it takes to get what they want, then where is the trust? Even the slightest amount of honesty and trust is vital when conducting business. So again, please heed my warning or else you will lose countless hours being scammed by unprofessional car salesmen.

He did not flinch when I asked him to look at different scenarios for payment and asked about any number of colors other than the one he had offered. Truly a great asset at the dealership! More
Steve is aces I've used Hawthorne Chevy ever since I bought my 2003 Z06 back in 2014 & I would not trust anyone but Steve Kochan to manage it. I initially brough I've used Hawthorne Chevy ever since I bought my 2003 Z06 back in 2014 & I would not trust anyone but Steve Kochan to manage it. I initially brought it in for a 60k mile servicing [bought it with ~61k miles]. It was done quickly but throughly; Steve let me know the potential services that may need to be done in the future, as well as any immediate issues he could see. Also, I noticed that my driver's seat did not have the Z06 stitching on it when I first bought the car - the passenger seat did, but the drivers' side did not. That bothered me a bit & made the car look unbalanced a little. Anyways, after the original 60k inspection, I noticed Z06 stitching on the drivers' seat. I was floored.. truly made my day & still makes me smile when I get in the car. Those "little" things can make a huge difference.. Since that initial inspection, I have brought the car back for routine maintenance [now has 81k miles & runs/feels like new]. They have experience working on corvettes in particular, so they can spot usual issues with the cars & can get ahead of anything that may pose a problem. Their turn-around times are quite fast - even though that is not really as much of a concern as the quality of work to me, it's still nice to have the car back relatively quickly. However, if they are busy, I don't mind waiting because Steve does such a great job - quality over quantity is how I feel & i've never been disappointed. I don't mind paying their prices because they have always seemed reasonable when it comes to final cost - Steve always checks with me before doing anything & makes sure we're on the same page; it's to the point that I can probably predict what they'll work on the next time it goes in for servicing. Nice to know there won't be any surprises on the bill & that they take time to work with their customers. Everything is annotated in their paperwork very neatly & very clearly, so understanding what is going on with your vehicle cannot be made any simpler. Nobody but Steve Kochan will ever manage the service/repairs on my Z06. He is the stand-out example of how to properly treat a customer & their vehicle. Could not be more impressed/happy with his work; would recommend him to anyone. More
