I purchased a 2012 Nissan Versa from Central Jersey Auto Salvage on May 6th, 2023 for a graduation gift for myself, but what I received was a vehicle riddled with hidden issues and a complete lack of transparency.At the time of purchase, I was assured that the car had been in only a minor accident, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. As I delved deeper into ownership. It's worth noting that I spent considerable time and money on enhancements, taxes, license plate transfer, and repairs right after the purchase, adding up to a whopping $700 to $1000.After these initial expenses, the true extent of the car's issues started to reveal itself. A Philadelphia state inspection revealed multiple problems, including a new front tire requirement, a tag light replacement, and a malfunctioning front right headlight. This cost me an additional $300 in repairs.But the surprises didn't stop there. My check engine light illuminated shortly after, prompting me to seek professional help. Two different auto shops confirmed that I needed a new exhaust system and a co-sensor replacement.To make matters worse, when I returned to Central Jersey Auto Salvage seeking accountability for selling me a faulty vehicle, I was met with indifference and a complete lack of responsibility. Dave, the representative I spoke to, not only downplayed the issues but also suggested I buy a new Cadillac converter at my own expense. It's bewildering how they expect me to spend even more money with them after they knowingly sold me a car with major mechanical problems.You can save yourself time, money, and headaches by looking elsewhere for a reputable dealership that respects and values its customers. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I can confidently say that I will never recommend Central Jersey Auto Salvage to anyone. I ENDED UP SPENDING 2500 ON A WHOLE NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM AND NEW BRAKE PADS. Also, it is now leaking oil from the engine so I am forced to sell my car and buy a new one.

This place is AWESOME!!! Literally.. I was on my way to a competitor to buy an engine and they straight up block me on the phones after telling me false information and this place had what I needed and I bought it from them on the spot and this place could not be any cooler. 82 KID approves. (Geartronix SUCKS!)

They were a pleasure to deal with and fair. Curtesy and respect are so important when doing a transaction and each person I dealt with here was attentive and made me happy a worked with them.

Do not buy a car from here, you'll end up with no car after you paid. They hide damages from you about the vehicle there selling to you.

THE best junkyard I ever dealt with. On 8/31 I spoke to Dave. I needed a wheel rim. He quoted me a price but had to order it. I shopped around per his suggestion. After calling 4 other junkyards I ended up ordering it from them. He assured me he would get it by 9/1. Sure enough on 9/1 at 8:30am I got a call from them the part was in. They follow up and they communicate very professionally and courteously and have a great attitude even after the sale is made. When I got there I was greeted in such a friendly manner and they loaded it in my car. I don’t know what there “secret sauce” is but I would highly recommend this place of business. I used them 6 years ago and I got the same outcome. Thanks to all of you.

Dave, Max and Juan are the 3 guys I dealt with at Central Jersey. Each one was extremely professional and straightforward. Dave and Max have sold me parts and bought carsTo recycle from me. The parts they pulled for me were perfect. Juan the driver was so careful on my property to make sure nothing was damaged. I found them extremely fair to deal with. Auto recycling is not an easy job, but they run this operation like a well oiled machine.

Great experience working with Dave at Central Jersey Auto Salvage. I was ready to sell my old car and Dave was extremely professional and friendly. Dave and I easily agreed on a fair price for both of us and we had the deal done within minutes. I would highly recommend Dave and his team for anything you need.

Well I don't know another solid descriptor for my experience with Dave and his team other than WOW! Not only is he a nice guy but so is his staff and they are very accommodating. I went up to look at a unicorn vehicle (based on condition and miles) over 3.5 hours from me that he had for sale with a bucket full of skepticism in hand since he is also a salvage yard. I was met with welcoming arms and the keys to validate his claims on this vehicle, he even put it on his lift and left me alone to dig my heels in on the vehicle. I spent over an hour validating his claims and he was right, the vehicle was everything he said and more and it had an additional option package I was unaware of.While I paid out of book it was well worth the investment, as far as vehicles are an investment. I had it checked out at local Infinti dealer yesterday after an oil change and a multipoint inspection, provided by dealer to "find" business for the mechanic, the mechanic wrote "speechless" on condition, in a good way. I spent the last 2 days detailing the vehicle and as a former concours chief judge for Mercedes and BMW events have to say the paint is very nice for a 22 year old car, the prior owners were meticulous caretakers. The interior is immaculate, had all accessories and the carpets looked as if it was just delivered new that day.So Dave, thanks again for you and your teams honesty and transparency, its rare in your business as you and I discussed. I would not hesitate to procure another vehicle from Dave's team in the future if the need arises.

I purchased a Lincoln MKS last week. What a great place to buy a car! Dave & Max were amazing. I really felt at home. Dave is a stand up person. He does what he says he is going to do and bends over backwards to help you. The car is great! I recommend Central Jersey Auto to anyone who is looking to purchase a used car. For a pleasant experience, go there. Very rare in the car industry you meet people like this.

Called last week in reference to a particular part for a car they had in inventory. Mike was helpful in regards to confirming the part would fit my vehicle, and confirmed it was available. The part was waiting for me in less than 24hrs and the clips, plugs and wires were unscathed. Part works as it should and saved me a bundle in the end. Will definitely return if I need something again. As I said when I arrived, keep those Avalons back there.?

What a fantastic place to buy a car! Through no fault of theirs (I came in with my own financing and the lender was taking their time), I was there ALL day. Other reviews mentioned it and I'll repeat, these guys are straight forward and it's good clean business.I listened to them handle other customers and they were just pleasant to be around. When it came time to handle things on their end it was most expedient! I'm really satisfied about my purchase, Dave was transparent and showed me every receipt they had for the work done on the vehicle. What they fixed and what they left out from repairs due to costs. Told me how much the parts were and gave suggestions for acquisitions if I wanted to get them myself. They lay it all on the table so you can make an informed decision. It was an absolutely delightful experience. May God continue to bless them and their business.
