James is awesome! Such a fast process! He made it quick, easy, and made magic happen so we could get the truck we wanted! Never have I ever had such a quick easy process getting a car/truck! Definitely recommend them to anyone who wants to get a new car/truck!

Exceptional experience! Had the good fortune to have Anthony help us purchase a low mileage Mazda CX-5 for my wife. Great SUV at a great price. The whole process felt like we were dealing with family. There is a good reason why you see so many Marano and Sons stickers on vehicles around here. Highly, highly recommend.

I bought my first car here pre covid, when I was a bit younger and more ignorant about the car buying process. Now that I'm older, I always remember how hard I got hustled here.Upsold some useless insurance policy for 2 grand.They sell good cars, but come with the expectation that they hustle you here. A hint of skepticism will take you far.

Marano & Sons sets the bar very high. They exemplify what purchasing a vehicle should be like. The sales staff are low pressure, knowledgeable, and very friendly. The vehicles on their lot are high quality and extremely competitively priced. Even the financing process was fast and easy. There is little to no reason to go purchase a new vehicle when Marano & Sons is an option.

I am so grateful for having Marano and Sons recommended to me by multiple people. I would give them more than 5 stars if I could. They are so friendly, professional, and no gimmicks. They don't try to sell you packages you don't need, they don't try to confuse and double talk you, and also won't have you there for hours, hours, and hours.If you have a question or don't understand something, they will explain it without being condescending. They will go over everything with you and will explain and break down all the paperwork. I didn't feel uncomfortable, pressured, or intimidated. This is how purchasing a car should be.I've been recommending others to Marano and Sons whenever I hear someone looking for a car now.Thank you again and I appreciate you guys! :)

Just bought a 2018 Camry from Maranos & Sons and had a great experience. These people are top notch, no pressure and sell reliable well maintained autos at fair pricing. Would definitely return for my next car. Highly recommended! Anthony their salesmen was a pleasure to work with.

My family and I have been going to Jimmy and the Marano Family for years. Since I started driving 26 years ago, I haven't gone anywhere else. My very first car was a 1997 green Dodge Neon and most recently when I lost my car during Hurricane Ida, Jimmy gave me first dibs on my Nissan Sentra to replace my Altima (which I bought from him in 2019). He is honest and a great guy! I recommend Marano & Sons to everyone! Don't go anywhere else. Thank you again Jimmy!!! You're the best!

Best car dealer ship experience ever! We bought our durango 3 years ago and went back and bought my husbands Volkswagen a year after. Mike helped us both times with No pressure buying. Very nice people and cars have been great with no issues at all other than regular maintenance. I recommend these guys 100%!

I bought a car from Marano & Sons in 2014. They were professional, courteous, and most importantly honest. Even though I now live in Atlantic County, I will certainly pay a visit the next time I'm in the markey for a used car.I recently needed documentation from the dealership for the car I bought. The Marano & Sons team were more than happy to assist a customer from more than seven years ago. I'm not sure other car dealerships would be as helpful.

Recently purchased my vehicle at Marano & Sons and wish that I could give them more than a five star review. Mike T. is a gentleman. The entire process was no pressure and easy. These folks are honest, their inventory is fantastic. I could say wholeheartedly that any future vehicle purchases I make will be at Marano. If you are in the market for a good vehicle from an honest dealership, seriously, look no further than here.

Thanks to my mom, Jim has been our go to for almost 20 years. His inventory is and has always been vast, quality vehicles. We ve never had any problems trading in, purchasing, or any issues with the vehicles that we own in all the years we ve been using Morano. They are always fair, always professional and Jim has always gone above and beyond to give us what we need. Top notch!

I bought my Jeep Grand Cherokee from Marano over a year ago and I am still amazed by the experience I had here.I was recommended by a friend and I will continue to do the same for others. The customer service was great, and I walked away feeling like it was reasonable and fair.I will defiantly come back at some point when looking for my next car. Thank you for a great first car buying experience

I had gone to a dealer the day before and after being there for 4 hours and it was a total waste of time. So I called a friend of mine from the Auto Business referred me to Marano and gave them the highest compliment up front. He said he would send his Mom there and not worry in the least about the quality, service or pricing on the vehicles they offered. I agree with my friend 100%.I met with Ralph the next morning and explained my requirements. In about 3 hours the entire transaction was completed and I got a great vehicle at a fair price. What a pleasure to have a straightforward experience with a true professional. I will happily refer anyone who's looking for a vehicle to Marano.

Edit; just purchased my third car from Marano, first class all the way. Shopped for four months for a car and dealt with all the other dealers and their BS. I ended up back at Marano. No games or gimmicks, hidden fees, etc. Don't waste your time going anywhere else.In 2008 I leased two cars from Marano a 2006 Ford Explorer and 2007 Mazda 6. Each experience was terrific the buying/leasing process is very straight forward no hidden fees all charges are listed clearly on the invoice. They play no games with you. Both cars were trouble free and reliable. We gave the Explorer back at the end of the lease but bought the Mazda. The Mazda now has over 130k miles, is rattle free and rides like the day I drove it off Marano's lot.A great all around experience

In February we bought a car from a different dealership that left us feeling that we could get more for the price of our car then we did.Last week we started to look for a used car for our daughter as she is going back to college. My husband found a 2016 jeep and spoke with Mike at Mariano & Son.Mike help us get the car and led us throughout the process . It was a great experience of getting exactly what we wanted and feeling good.You can't ask for more.When it's time for getting a car again we will be back here, at Marano & Sons.

I have been a customer for over 20 years and have purchased from Mike at the Truck/ SUV lot and from Jimmy at the car lot for myself, my family and friends. They are by far the very best in the business featuring reliable vehicles with low miles, new tires, brakes, very well maintained and detailed in and out... spotless. If you have any doubts about purchasing from them... I can assure you that this will be the only dealer you can put your complete trust in. I wish I can give them 6 stars! I can't count how many cars I have seen on the road with the Marano Sons sticker on the back... that should tell you something!

This has been my 2nd great experience purchasing a car from Marano and Son and I wouldn t go anywhere else. Low pressure, kindness and helpfulness is the way they operate their business from my salesman Tony, Ryanne in the office and even Mr. Ralph Marano himself. They take the anxiety out of buying a car. I m proud to have them as a local business that I can count on and trust.

I purchased a 2016 Kia Sedona. It was easily the best car buying experience that I've had. The salesman, Mike Tango, offered me a great price and I naturally assumed there were bound to be hidden fees (e.g., used car prep, dealer/destination, and hundreds of dollars in document fees) to bump up their profit margin. I'm happy to say that I was wrong. There were no hidden fees and Mike was honest and straightforward every step of the way. He even found me a better financing rate than I had been preapproved for. We've had the car for 2 weeks now and couldn't be any happier with the car or the car buying experience at Marano & Sons. I am definitely going to be a return customer and would highly recommend this dealership.

My husband just bought a car from them on Saturday and we felt so happy with the service they provided. Anthony helped us with everything, there was no rush, no hidden fees, no pressure, no nothing that you tend to find on the bigger dealerships. I would totally recommend them!

Saying that I had an unbelievably unpleasant time buying from this used car dealership would be an understatement. For one thing, the cars are POORLY cleaned. The exterior looks great but the interior however is a completely different story. There were used cigarettes underneath the driver's seat of one of the cars! In addition, the cars are unsteady. I bought an old Volkswagen Beetle and the breaks stopped working one week after my purchase. The takeaway here is to NOT buy your new used car here! You will completely regret it... and I don't only speak for myself when I say that. An absolutely horrible experience!

I purchased 2012 Cadillac CTS and am very pleased with everything they have to offer. The salesman was excellent. No nonsense and very honest. They have very nice vehicles to choose from. They took care of everything. Stopped in to look and drove the car home that afternoon. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a good used vehicle. Thanks for everything.

Easily the most pleasant car buying experience I've ever had. Jimmy took care of me and got me a great deal on a 2015 Infiniti Q50. Upfront excellent pricing, ultra low mileage and carefully inspected and hand picked for quality. Thank you for your help in finding the perfect car for me.

Over the course of 23 years both our immediate band extended family have very satisfactorly purchased over 20 cars with Marano and Son's . I have and will continue to recommend them. I am sending to co-workers there this weekend and looking to trade in a car! Their cars are always immaculate and low miles. Mike Tango is our go to guy for trucks and SUVs.

Jim and Ralph are the real deal! I dealt with Jim while going through my first car purchase. He may speak fast and you may have to get him to repeat himself but that's just the nature of his business. Super easy to talk to and he's willing to reach a fair deal with you. My 2017 Hyundai Elantra had a few minor repairs needed and when I pointed them out to Jim he said it would be no problem. He took care of it at no additional cost to me. Their reputation they have built is well above the standard from what I hear. Other friends who've gone to other places didn't get half the things that Marano had offered to me.

I was dreading purchasing a car with my Mom. But I can't tell you have easy Marano staff made this for me. Everyone was helpful and not pushy. Anthony, the salesperson was so helpful and patient. I would highly recommend this dealership!!

Marano & Son where Quality in Quantity begins. My fiance and I were out for a few days looking at vehicles. From truck centers on St. George's also on Rt 22. His grandmother said " dont ever buy a used car on St George's Ave or Rt 22. She was correct. He had gone to Marano on Sunday looked at an Audi A4 2018 and a 2018 Subaru. Monday we went to there truck location & we met Mike. My fiance asked to test drive the truck also bring it to Raritan Rd in Clark so mechanics so he could put it on a lift and inspect it. Mike said let me make a copy of your licence. WE HAVE NOTHING TO HIDE. We took the truck over to have a look. Absolutely clean low miles. So he put a deposit.If your reading this my fiance has recommended Marano & Son to friends, family & colleagues. For over 20 years why peace of mind. He told me a story and I want to share it with you. My fiance had a mechanic shop on Westfield Ave in Clark for a few years. A regular customer came in with a New used vehicle for an oil service. My fiance noticed a few $100.00's of work the car needed. Saw Marano & Son sticker so he called the car was with in a few weeks. It needed tires and pads were low. Upon speaking to them they said have the customer bring the car back and we will take care of it. My fiance called the customer to pick up there vehicle. The bill was $0.00 said bring the car back to Marano's already called they will take care of it.A dealership that makes buying a breeze is rare in today's standards. My fiance purchased the truck I am going over to look for a newer vehicle also thank you MIKE and thank you to your staff for making our day easier

Outstanding experience with Jim Marano. He went the extra mile to get my son the best possible financing on his first car purchase. All the cars in the lot are decent. Highly recommended!

I strongly recommend Marano & Sons Auto Sales. I have dealt with them in the past, & once again recently. The entire staff & the help are very reliable, trustworthy, & invariably courteous. Their service is praiseworthy & always accommodating!
