Exceptional buying experience After looking for several weeks, I found a vehicle I liked at a great price - at Papas. My salesperson was Evan Monikowski. If you have never visited After looking for several weeks, I found a vehicle I liked at a great price - at Papas. My salesperson was Evan Monikowski. If you have never visited this dealership, Go. So much to see. Everyone I worked with was very friendly, not pushy like one might expect from a typical car dealership. Even was the best - extremely knowledgeable and answered my questions honestly which was great and much appreciated. Highly recommended! More

what a great Car Dealership and Salesman There are very few dealers and sales people like Papa's Dodge and the sales person that has helped me with buying over 7 cars over the past few years. There are very few dealers and sales people like Papa's Dodge and the sales person that has helped me with buying over 7 cars over the past few years. Gerry Cwikla has done just that. The way that he can find the right car for you is wonderful. All I can say is I will and have sent my friend to Garry and Pap's Dodge for a car. Thanks again Garry for you help. Bill Beardsley. More

They sold my family a hearse. Really. I found a pretty good deal on a sharp looking black 2012 Town and Country online. A nice car for a young and growing family, right? My wife, one yea I found a pretty good deal on a sharp looking black 2012 Town and Country online. A nice car for a young and growing family, right? My wife, one year old daughter and I made the one hour drive to the dealership. We were shown the vehicle we had inquired about and learned "We (the dealership) just got it; haven't even had time to clean it." My one year old climbed over the interior as negotiations began. Questions were asked. "Was this a commercial vehicle?" "Um… No." "Are you sure? Any way to find out?" "Nope, the cars just show up on the lot..." Turns out in speaking with the manager later, they do know where the vehicles come from. Fast forward after the sale- One morning the windows fogged and clearly could be seen the residue from where lettering was affixed to the side window. "(name withheld by author) Farmingdale." A quick internet searched revealed it is a funeral home. A funeral home in the same town as the dealership. Then it all clicked, the minor damage inside rear from where a gurney clicks to the left after securing, the rear seats that appeared never sat in, the overwhelming amount of surface rust in the 2nd row Stow n’ Go as if the metal framework were exposed to fluids for extended periods of time. My van was utilized as a hearse in its prior lease. Can't get too much more commercial than that. In my employment career I have actually had jobs (and still do) where I assist medical examiners, funeral directors, and other personnel load bodies, pre- and post- autopsy, as well as straight from the scene into these vehicles. I can speak from experience when I say whatever caution is taken, there will be fluids that leak out of body bags, personal effects and clothing when taken, both as possible evidence, or in remembrance are placed in paper bags as to not putrefy as they would in plastic with whatever body fluid they may be covered in. Police and others assisting directors with the movement/removal of the deceased often toss the used gloves in the back of the transport vehicle. And my one year old was crawling around in the back of this van both prior to the sale without even being vacuumed, much less thoroughly cleaned, as well as for a few months after with her two year old cousins. My wife is terrified to drive the vehicle. Papa's solution? Trying to sell me a brand new van (for much more money) or another one they found at auction that they would still need to make a profit on. Either way, I’d be losing several thousand dollars. They found one van that they said had all the options that the hearse did. After driving an hour to see this replacement, it was immediately apparent that it did not. Being black in color was where the similarities ended. It was not even the same model of van. Another day wasted. More lies. Phone calls to the used car manager were not returned for days, sometimes a week. They were only returned after a message was left for the general manager, (who never called back directly). Their methods or "rectifying" the situation were laughable. This is not an honest dealership, nor do they look out for anything but the sale. I actually believe the salesman "Steve" did not sell this van and lie to me with malicious intent, as he actually apologized. Jeff Armington, the used car sales manager, is another story. By the way, he says they do “lots of business” with funeral homes. After several weeks of attempting some resolve, my wife and I went to another dealership and, after giving full disclosure on the trade in to that dealership, were able to make a deal on another Town and Country (a new one- definitely not a hearse). As one should, take caution with any used vehicle purchase. If you want better your chances of not being lied to, sold a haz-mat vehicle, or ignored after the sale, do yourself a favor and steer clear of Papa's. More

I'm questioning the quality of the 2012 Grand Cherokee and I am very happy that I bought the extended warranty. The vehicle has less than 60,000 miles on it and it had three leaking seals and a recalled alternator (that wiped out the PCM computer). My guess is that this would have been a very expensive service if not for the extended warranty. I love the Grand Cherokee and I've owned three since 2000 and I'm not sure I'd but one again. More

2014 Challenger purchase I am from NY and was looking for a 2014 Dodge Challenger Shaker edition. I had visited numerous dealers in NY and was not satisfied with the prices or I am from NY and was looking for a 2014 Dodge Challenger Shaker edition. I had visited numerous dealers in NY and was not satisfied with the prices or service. After searching on the internet I was able to find numerous cars all over the United States. After sending out emails to these various dealers inquiring about their vehicles, I was contacted by Evan Monikowski. Immediately he was willing to work with me and help me with my "dream car" at a fair price. No hassle, no b.s. Right to the point, I was getting what I wanted at a price I could not refuse. After a two hour drive to Papa Dodge, not only was I immediately impressed with the dealership and its "museum" of cars, but the barbershop, diner and all around atmosphere made me feel at home. I never felt more comfortable buying a car. Thank you Papa Dodge and thank you Evan for making my "dream" come true. Darren C. More

I was greeted by Przemek who assisted me through the process of explaining the features and options of the Jeep Cherokee. I needed time to make a decision and think about this purchase. NO ONE ever made me feel bothered about returning to buy a car or was "hounded" by phone calls to make a decision. I appreciated that professional courtesy that Papa's Jeep showed toward me as a female customer looking at Jeep as a new venture. I have always had Buicks or Pontiacs. A few weeks later, I returned to purchase/lease a new Cherokee. Jeremy took the time to explain the purchasing process and made me feel like I was in no pressure to buy or lease the car. It was completely my decision. I was pleased with the caring and respectful professionalism from both Jeromy and Przemek. Thank you for a pleasant experience at Papa's. More
