Ask for Franz!!! A great car buying experience!!! I can't say enough about our Salesman Franz Crane. He was very friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer all o A great car buying experience!!! I can't say enough about our Salesman Franz Crane. He was very friendly, helpful, and took the time to answer all our questions and address our needs & concerns. If you are like me one of those people that dread walking into the car dealership, then ask for Franz. He didn't try to "sell" us. He took the time and put in the effort to find the right car for my family, at a price we could afford. I should also mention Marco, the Finance Manager was also great. He also was friendly and helpful. We were looking to purchase a warranty and had tons of questions. Marco answered them all and got us the protection that gives us peace of mind! More

excellent This was my second purchase at Pine belt Nissan of Keyport , NJ. The staff is friendly and helpful . This was also my second time working with Mr. Man This was my second purchase at Pine belt Nissan of Keyport , NJ. The staff is friendly and helpful . This was also my second time working with Mr. Mandez Jones . He was efficient and knowledgeable in answering my "hypothetical question" related to possibly trading in my car for a lower priced vehicle . After a quick review of my financials he was able to put together a package which would lower my payments and purchase a new vehicle at a great rate "0%".Mandez was thorough and patient while taking me through each step . He added a personal touch that is often absent when making such a purchase from selecting a color to explaining how all the "gadgets work". Since this was my second time working with Mandez I regard him as" my "sales person . I trust him with helping me make the right choices that fit me and my "pocketbook" . That means a lot . Thankyou.

Upfront, honest, respectful and, ultimately, a great deal! Our Nissan Leaf lease was up, and Pine Belt had two in stock, so I made the trek over from Brooklyn to check out what they had. Steve Lanman was the g Our Nissan Leaf lease was up, and Pine Belt had two in stock, so I made the trek over from Brooklyn to check out what they had. Steve Lanman was the guy who took care of me, and helped me out of my lease and into owning a new Leaf (which, by the way, is an amazing car.) What made the dealer (and Steve) feel different from other car purchases I've had, is that they are simply no-bullsh*t. No "let me check with my manager." No "I'll have to get that approved by corporate." The people selling cars there seemed empowered to make a connection with the customers, and close the deal without playing games. This is the way car purchases should be handled — with respect for people's time, respect for their intelligence, and respect for their budget. I'd come back here in a second to make my next purchase. More

Tommy G was an absolute professional. I was looking for a quality used 2012 Altima but was dreading the buying process based on previous bad experiences I've had at other dealerships. Afte I was looking for a quality used 2012 Altima but was dreading the buying process based on previous bad experiences I've had at other dealerships. After researching the fair value of what I wanted and locating a model on Pine Belt Nissan's website I contacted Tommy G based on his DealerRater reviews and how long he's been in the business. Tommy was very responsive to my initial emails to establish what I felt was a fair "out the door cost" for the car and my emphasis that I did not want any last minute surprise fees or charges to spoil the deal. We then spoke by phone and he confirmed the vehicle was available and that he could definitely do the deal at my all-in price. His demeanor was professional and free of the expected pressure sales tactics to try to get me on the lot ASAP or require me to put a deposit down. Tommy called me back shortly to explain that the vehicle I saw online was at an offsite storage lot and it would take him a day to get relocated but that he had a nearly identical Altima with lower mileage they had just taken in trade a few days earlier that he could do for a few hundred dollars more. I was initially pessimistic that this was some sort of bait and switch but I agreed to come down later that day to look at it and then make arrangements to see the original vehicle. I was able to identify this other Altima on their website (with a spotless CARFAX report) and it was in fact listed for sale for the additional amount Tommy quoted. Knowing that I have less than stellar credit I completed their online credit application before I left the house so the finance guy would know what he was working with. I then texted Tommy to tell him to look for the application and to coordinate it with finance. I went to the lot a few hours later and was introduced to Tommy, looked over the car and sat down to talk numbers after seeing that the car was exactly as advertised and everything that I wanted. We agreed on the same original "out the door cost" from our phone call and I reiterated that I wasn't going to tolerate any surprise fees/costs after he went down the hall. Tommy stepped away to the finance department and I began to expect him to come back with some sort of alternate offer that "the bank requires to made the deal work" but to my surprise when he returned the deal was unchanged and at very reasonable terms given my credit. He mentioned that finance was shopping the deal for an even better rate, which I quickly dismissed as something they probably say to all bad credit customers. We shook on the deal and started the paperwork. In the process Tommy came back to the desk smiling saying that they were able to get me a significantly better rate, one that I was surprised I would have even qualified for. There was no wait when he handed me off to Mike in the finance department to sign all the documents. There were the expected offers and recommendations to buy GAP protection and extended service contracts but Mike was professional about moving along when I politely declined. I was in and out of the dealership with an excellent deal on exactly the Altima I wanted at extremely reasonable terms within two hours - on a Saturday! I was never stressed or pressured during the process and was very impressed with the professionalism of Tommy and Mike. They really made it a pleasurable experience and renewed my faith that there are still reputable car dealers who know they can create a repeat customer by treating them fairly and honestly from the beginning. I will definitely start my next car search with Tommy G at Pine Belt. I already have him on the lookout my wife's next car. More
Another Stroll Through The Park With Nick and Steve On February 6th, my daughter and I arrived at the dealership and within a short time, drove away in a new 2014 Sentra. The ease with which this transa On February 6th, my daughter and I arrived at the dealership and within a short time, drove away in a new 2014 Sentra. The ease with which this transaction was completed was no different than when I leased a new Altima last August through Nick Cataldo and Debra Smith. I basically texted Nick what I was looking for in a new car. He found and held for me the exact model car I wanted. Nick gave me the numbers I was looking at to close the deal. And because I have leased at least four to five previous Nissan vehicles through him, I knew this was the best I could get. There was no need or ever has been for me to shop elsewhere. So, when I walked into Keyport it was already a done deal. [I have followed Nick from Staten Island to Keyport just because I trust him completely.] Nick had Steve Lanman perform the sales part of the transaction and I found him to be as honest and trustworthy as Nick. He did a great job familiarizing us with the new car and was helpful in every way. Anthony, the finance person was personable, adept, efficient and professional. You can never go wrong with going to this dealership. The personnel are all professional, courteous and respectful. The physical layout and spacious clean space of this place makes a customer feel valued and wanted. Again, kudos to Nick - and to Steve. It was truly another stroll through the park. More
