Jason was extremely helpful and a pleasure to work with . He answered all my questions and concerns . He was not the pressure type of salesman . I will recommend family and friends to Lester Glenn Hyundai . He answered all my questions and concerns . He was not the pressure type of salesman . I will recommend family and friends to Lester Glenn Hyundai . This is the 4th car I purchased from this dealership. Frank and Sam the sales managers are excellent They stand behind the Hyundai product and are always more than fair while finalising a deal. I would not buy a Hyundai from any other dealership. I had a problem with a certified preowned vehicle and they fixed the problem provided a loaner vehicle . I know I purchased my vehicle from the right dealership, More

Karen Morrissey and the team at Lester Glenn Hyundai offered me a great deal on a Certified Pre Owned Kona Electric Limited. Karen responded promptly to all of my info requests, and kept me updated on t offered me a great deal on a Certified Pre Owned Kona Electric Limited. Karen responded promptly to all of my info requests, and kept me updated on the status of the purchase process. The Kona was prepped, cleaned and fully charged at pickup. From my initial phone contact with Haley Torrone, though the test-drive and negotiation process that Karen guided me through, to the settlement and paperwork phase that Darren Applegate conducted smoothly, I can say this was the most professional sales team I have worked with in purchasing a car. I highly recommend Lester Glenn Hyundai of Tom’s River, NJ. More
