I had a very positive experience purchasing my car through Mike Amarando. When I first met Mike, I really wasn't sure what I wanted. It took me two very long visits to make a final decision and thro through Mike Amarando. When I first met Mike, I really wasn't sure what I wanted. It took me two very long visits to make a final decision and throughout both visits, Mike was extremely helpful and patient. He took his time to show and test drive several cars with me, assisted me in finding a pricing option that was right and in the end I walked away with an SUV that I love. I also had the opportunity to work with Bill Thompkins, Dan Bennett, and Mike Avater. Like Mike Amarando, they were helpful and delivered thorough customer service. I will definitely recommend Lester Glenn GMC/Buick to friends and family. The overall professionalism was excellent. I appreciated the experience and will be back soon! I can't wait to ring the bell again! More

We were approached on the lot by Mike Amarando. At the very minute that he greeted us, I knew this was a different kind of dealership. At my old dealership, all the salespeople were on the front step, dr very minute that he greeted us, I knew this was a different kind of dealership. At my old dealership, all the salespeople were on the front step, dressed casually and smoking, just lurking and waiting for customers. Walking thru the group of them, I felt very uncomfortable and later being approached by some "slick" man, addressing me as "hon" really didn't make my day. At Lester Glen, there was none of that...all the salespeople wore a company shirt and khaki pants...not a smoker in sight, nor an ash can. He was friendly, knowledgeable and right to the point, but not aggressive or pushy. We didn't know if we were really going to buy a car that day, but we were prepared to, if things went well. My goal was to replace my beloved PT Cruiser, in size and in amenities...it was 11 years old and to me the interior was the most beautiful car that I had ever owned. I asked him to park a Encore next to my Cruiser so that I could compare size. He then proceeded to tell us all about the Encore. When I said we had to leave for a doctor's appointment, but would like to come back later in the day, I offered a deposit for the car so it wouldn't be sold to anyone else before we returned. In turn, he asked me for my car keys, telling me that I could take the Encore to the doctor and come back later...drive it to see if I really liked it, he said. I explained that my doctor was in East Allenhurst, not right around the corner...and he said he didn't care how many miles I put on the car...I had to drive it to know that I liked it enough to buy it. Well, my husband and I both liked the Encore very much and we came back and bought the car. Financially, I didn't have the money in my checking account to cover the deposit we wanted to pay...he told me to write a check and he would hold it for one week, that I should go home and move the money where I needed to. We walked out of Lester Glen with a brand new car, leaving an 11 year old PT Cruiser and a bad check. I've gone to the bank...the check is covered, I am enjoying my beautiful new Encore....correctly named, as it truly is an "encore" to my Cruiser...with more bells and whistles than I could have imagined and just as beautiful inside and out. My husband and I were very pleased with the 'no pressure' way Mike did business. I have already recommended Lester Glen to everyone who has seen my new car and in turn have learned that some of those people already knew of and had dealt with them before and they agreed that it was a pleasure doing business with them and that their service department was also very good and just as easy to deal with. Thanks Mike, we enjoyed meeting you and doing business with you...I love my new car! More

From looking on the website to making the appointment to the test drive and purchase it was the easiest, most pleasant experience. I have dreaded car shopping since buying my first car from a dealership in the 80's but it sure has come a long way. Thanks you everyone at Lester Glenn! More

I have been dealing with Lester Glenn Buick since 1984. I have always had good experiences with Sales and Service. Always had my vehicles serviced by Lester Glenn.

I have purchased approximately 5 vehicles from Lester Glenn. In fact my niece, Julie "Beck" Vazquez went to school with Adam. I would recommend Lester Glenn to anyone. They are a family friendly dealership and I have always been treated like family, from Stan K. on down. My salesman, Mike, was so patient and explained everything to me. In fact, the day I purchased my 2013 GMC Terrain Dinali, I had to go to Deborah Heart Hosp. for a doctor visit and he waited until I got back to bring my check to purchase the vehicle. At that time he took the extra time to explain the car to me. Mike, you were great. Thanks again to Lester Glenn for a great experience. Sincerely, Ellen M. Winkowski More

I went to Lester Glenn because I fell in love with a Mazda I saw on the internet. I was dreading it because my experience with other dealerships in the past were horrible. Upon arrival, my mother and I Mazda I saw on the internet. I was dreading it because my experience with other dealerships in the past were horrible. Upon arrival, my mother and I were greeted by Mr. Mike Amarando. He was very pleasant, warm and welcoming. He was more than happy to search his inventory for the car I saw online. When he discovered the car was at another dealership, he worked on getting it there so we could see it right away. While we waited (which wasn't a very long time at all) he was very hospitable, charming, and delightful to talk to. We didn't even have to ask for the car fax! He gave us all of the car's information and features. When the car arrived at the dealership I went with Mike for a test drive. As I was going from a Jeep to a tiny sports car, I was nervous to test drive it. Mike made me very comfortable the whole time. He showed me how different features of the car worked (How to open the gas tank, and the convertible top) He even took my mother out for a test drive. At first she was hesitant because it is a two seater tiny car but Mike completely changed her mind. Mike was never pushy like some salesman I've dealt with in the past. It was Mike who sold me on the car. If I had to deal with more pushy rude salesman I wouldn't have bought it in all honesty. Customer service is definitely His expertise! Dan who handled our finances was also very friendly and explained different packages clearly. It was a very fast easy process and an over all pleasant experience. Kudos to Mike Dan and Lester Glenn! I love my new Mazda Miata! Thank you again More

My experience at Lester Glenn Buick GMC was nothing short of spectacular. Once I walked through their doors, I was greeted with a friendly smile and attitude. Mike allowed me to test drive the GMC Terrain of spectacular. Once I walked through their doors, I was greeted with a friendly smile and attitude. Mike allowed me to test drive the GMC Terrain and I instantly fell in love with it. Once we sat down to talk about price, I had to initially walk away because the numbers were out of my range. Over the next week, Mike and Ryan were able to help me out and get me the Terrain for a price I could afford. They were easy going, dedicated gentlemen that work hard to help you. They are knowledgeable about the cars they sell. I would highly recommend these gentlemen to anyone who wants to purchase a GMC or Buick. More
