About Volkswagen of Salem County

Welcome to Volkswagen of Salem County! We have been a family owned and operated business for over 60 years. We pride ourselves on our commitment to our customers in providing the best quality service and most pristine vehicles in the area. Volkswagen of Salem County is conveniently located on Route 40 in Monroeville, NJ, just south of Mullica Hill on the way to the South Jersey beaches.

Our story began in 1950 when the Catanese family began building a name in the automobile wholesale business that has since become synonymous with excellence. Benjamin Catanese, son of Italian immigrants and veteran of WWII, was a carpenter by trade, but quickly fell in love with the automobile business. He worked day and night, establishing strong roots in the blossoming wholesale industry. He was a pioneer in the business and created markets to trade used cars that never existed before. Ben’s son, Jim, became his understudy (seemingly at birth). He grew up a car guy and took the reigns of the organization from his father in the early 1990’s. Jim turned their wholesale business into a brand name within the industry. Jim’s son, Benjamin Catanese II, later became part of the family corporation and shifted their focus to the new car business. The rest as they say is history and today Volkswagen of Salem County is proudly owned and operated by the Catanese Family.

We continue with the same commitment to quality and service that we honored in 1950. Volkswagen of Salem County is here to help you browse through our new and used vehicles and allow you to experience the world of Volkswagen in the friendliest and most supportive way possible.

Our welcoming team is ready to assist you. Our prices, knowledge, expertise, and most importantly, our vehicles are second to none. Stop by and see us, and you will be sure to see why we are known as the friendliest dealership in South Jersey!

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

Hello, I purchased a VW convertible for my wife from VW of Salem County and January of 2012. First the good, the price was fair and it was easy to negotiate with them. The bad, when we purchased the car there were items on the "we owe" list, this included a new top of a different color and removal of a satellite radio. To make a long story short, the car was promised on 3 different days for delivery, each day I had cleared time from my schedule and work and each time after I already left work I received a call it was not ready. When they FINALLY did deliver the car it was dirty, chipped windshield, the radio that was to be removed was still in it. My mistake was NOT driving the 1.5 hours to get the car even after all their errors, this is because they offered to deliver it to me. When I asked about the windshield, the dirty car and the radio work I was give poor answers. I am about 15 minutes from Thompson VW/AAudi in Doylestown Pa, I had to take it to them for state inspection so I asked VWSC to have Thompson do the work. They refused. I was given an opportunity to write to VW corporate and explained the problems, VW corp agreed with me on the situation but said they are only in an advisory position and are not able to compel them to take action though it has been noted in there record. I have bought 20+ cars personally, this is by far the worst. VW corp asked if I had received a "vehicle condition report" I told them I had not, A month later, I received a back dated report with my name on it but with a date weeks before I ever came to the dealer. The faked the paperwork to cover themselves. I have to put in a new windshield at $400, had to get the car detailed as they never cleaned it, pay for the inspection and have the radio removed. There is more to the story but doubt many will read this much of the rant. The up side is that it was a good deal, not sure they even made any money on it (not my problem ,they are big boys). I would have walked away except that I knew I would be taking the VW to Thompson VW/Audi in Doylestoen/Warminster PA, I have and still own Audi and love their servive, hard to believe but BETTER then when it was Holberts and I loved there service as well! MY suggestion, buy the car on price, don't expect any more as far as service or follow up, they are poor business people.

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

Most AWESOME experience in my life!First time ever at a dealership & I HIGHLY recommend theirs!All of the staff was super friendly & helpful,plus the salesman was attentive and not overly pushy. I was there with my daughter to purchase her first "new used" car. Our purchase was better than I could've hoped for and they even filled the tank of her new car with gas before she left! I will definitely go to Volkswagen of Salem county for my next auto purchase!!

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

Overall expereience was AWESOME. Would definately recomment a friend or family to go to your dealership to purchase a new or used vehicle. Thank you to Bridget for working with us to get this truck and taking the extra to help us get it done with the nature of our children. We are very satisfied with the purchase we made of our F150 Ford truck.

Very friendly, down to earth people—definitely recommended. Sales staff didn't mess around but was still very courteous, constantly made sure everything was good; they offered refreshments, were very knowledgable, owner Jimmy made sure to introduce himself and that we were accommodated.

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

When they state in their ad "the friendliest dealer", that's an understatement. They are like a family. The entire dealership is courteous, polite, helpful and never pushy. Starting with Rob right on through everyone we dealt with. Buying a car is a stressful experience, but not at Volkswagen of Salem County. Highly recommend them.

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

Absolutely great overall experience! I could not believe how EASY it was to make this deal. After nothing but total aggravation at my local dealer I decided to call VW of Salem (an hour away) and ask what they would give me for my trade and best price on a 2013 VW TDI Passat Premium. I really didn't think I would get such a great deal over the phone and I was skeptical as I drove to the Salem VW about my trade in. Once there the car I inquired about was out front, washed and ready to go. The staff was amazing and deal was GREAT. If you are buying a VW you really should check out this dealer, I am sure you will be as satisfied as I am. I just wish every dealship was like this one!!!!!!!

My Review Of Volkswagen of Salem County:

What a pleasant car buying experience! Everyone was friendly and helpful. When we walked in, the place was packed and we were still taken care of immediately. Our salesman Rob was down to earth and very helpful. It was also a pleasure to meet and talk with the owners. Every question we had was answered. We felt there was no need to go anywhere else and we hope to be back for our second volkswagen!
