I'm a lifelong resident of Ocean County, NJ, so of course, I love the beach and the bay. My passions have always been cars and motorcycles (with a soft spot for convertibles). I truly enjoy getting to know people helping folks into their next vehicle. I have also been known to share a few too many pictures of my Great Danes as well. I try to live by the 'Platinum Rule'; "Treat others the way THEY want to be treated".

I was looking to purchase a replacement vehicle for work and had never owned a Mazda before. As soon as I arrived John introduced himself and listened carefully to what I was looking for. He took the time t and had never owned a Mazda before. As soon as I arrived John introduced himself and listened carefully to what I was looking for. He took the time to show me the vehicles I was interested in without trying to sway me one way or the other, which I greatly appreciate. I had done my research already and needed to see the vehicles in person. He showed me all the options he had at the dealership and was knowledgeable on all the features of the car and explaining them to me and my wife. After the test drive we decided we found the right vehicle with John. Communication throughout the entire process up until pickup later the next day was fantastic. I Would definitely purchase again in the future from John. More

John was an excelle When you walk in just to ask about deals and promotions and walk out with a new car, you know these guys know what they’re doing. John was an excellent salesman, as were Will (supervisor) and Arnold (finance). They all treated me so well and were professional yet fun! I’ve never not had a good experience at LGM, and will continue to be a loyal customer for years to come. More
