I was stressed with the thought of selling my car. A former customer highly recommended contacting Central Jersey Auto. My experience with Dave & Mike was outstanding. They were pleasant, polite, accommodating and honest. Dave came, within minutes, picked up my car and presented me a check for the sale! With just a phone call, it was the most stress free, hassle free, positive experience I ever had selling a car. I highly recommend contacting Dave & Mike at Central Jersey Auto Salvage!

Drove two hours to look at a car, and they didn’t have it ready for me to test drive. They apologized and the owner came and personally apologized that we drove so far and it wasn’t ready, and they got it ready pretty quickly. They were helpful in answering all my questions without pushing me to make a decision. I bought the car and they made sure it was good to go before we left, checking the oil, and all. I’d definitely buy from them again.

Without a doubt thee best salvage/used parts yard around, hands down. Great customer service, patience and understanding. My 18 year old daughter needed a driver side mirror assembly which is painted charcoal grey, well every other place has every color but what I needed. CJ auto salvage thought they had one that I needed but it was black, well they knew that I was dealing with my brat daughter 🤣🤣JK but they went and ordered me the right one and color. All for the price quoted which was very reasonable. Thanks again for the professionalism

This place is AWESOME!!! Literally.. I was on my way to a competitor to buy an engine and they straight up block me on the phones after telling me false information and this place had what I needed and I bought it from them on the spot and this place could not be any cooler. 82 KID approves. (Geartronix SUCKS!)

This place has everything I need. I bought cars here, as well as new and used parts. Whenever needed, they've fixed all mine and my family's cars. Very good prices and they do a great job. Quick service & very trustworthy. Their positive attitude and willingness to go the extra mile for customers is appreciated.

They gave me a very fair value for my trade-in, and sold me a nice clean car. It had a squeaky serpentine belt and they replaced it and also replaced the AC condenser with a brand new one. Very honest and polite.

I was looking for a driver seat for my 17 year old Nissan Altima. I was expecting to have to leave a message, however, Max answered the phone promptly and professionally. He looked up his inventory and found exactly what I needed. My seat was ready for pick up in less than 24 hours! If you need any parts, call Central Jersey Auto Salvage and save yourself the headache of calling around.

SCAM don't go here unless you want to be scammed. I bought a 2002 gmc from here. Drove off the lot with a bad abs sensor. Brought it back they tried to charge me. Didn't even have the truck 24 hours. I suggest you Kelly blue book these vehicles. I later found out my title was salvaged and the truck was suppose to be scrapped. Instead they sold it to me for over 8k to only run into a bunch of issues

My car's engine had blown and Central Jersey Auto Salvage was able to replace the engine with another one. The professionalism and empathy was impeccable. Not only did they replace the engine, they cleaned up the tires and replaced the windshield wipers as a courtesy. I will definitely be back for any of my car needs. Dave and the team are very good and honest people.

CJ auto made my situation easy and comfortable. I was in a car crash and my car was being held in a Towing Garage in Cranberry. I gave CJ Auto a call to see if they would want to pick it up and buy it and they did it on the same day of the accident and saved me extra storage fees at the towing garage. They also gave me a fair deal for the totaled car. Highly recommend this place for any type of car issues you may have.

THE best junkyard I ever dealt with. On 8/31 I spoke to Dave. I needed a wheel rim. He quoted me a price but had to order it. I shopped around per his suggestion. After calling 4 other junkyards I ended up ordering it from them. He assured me he would get it by 9/1. Sure enough on 9/1 at 8:30am I got a call from them the part was in. They follow up and they communicate very professionally and courteously and have a great attitude even after the sale is made. When I got there I was greeted in such a friendly manner and they loaded it in my car. I don’t know what there “secret sauce” is but I would highly recommend this place of business. I used them 6 years ago and I got the same outcome. Thanks to all of you.

Dave, Max and Juan are the 3 guys I dealt with at Central Jersey. Each one was extremely professional and straightforward. Dave and Max have sold me parts and bought cars To recycle from me. The parts they pulled for me were perfect. Juan the driver was so careful on my property to make sure nothing was damaged. I found them extremely fair to deal with. Auto recycling is not an easy job, but they run this operation like a well oiled machine.

What a fantastic place to buy a car! Through no fault of theirs (I came in with my own financing and the lender was taking their time), I was there ALL day. Other reviews mentioned it and I'll repeat, these guys are straight forward and it's good clean business. I listened to them handle other customers and they were just pleasant to be around. When it came time to handle things on their end it was most expedient! I'm really satisfied about my purchase, Dave was transparent and showed me every receipt they had for the work done on the vehicle. What they fixed and what they left out from repairs due to costs. Told me how much the parts were and gave suggestions for acquisitions if I wanted to get them myself. They lay it all on the table so you can make an informed decision. It was an absolutely delightful experience. May God continue to bless them and their business.

Great honest service and a hassle-free experience. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for a cheap used car. Got my car here and the guys have been super helpful with minor repairs that were needed. Pleasant experience all around.

I purchased a 2012 Nissan Versa from Central Jersey Auto Salvage on May 6th, 2023 for a graduation gift for myself, but what I received was a vehicle riddled with hidden issues and a complete lack of transparency. At the time of purchase, I was assured that the car had been in only a minor accident, but that couldn't have been further from the truth. As I delved deeper into ownership. It's worth noting that I spent considerable time and money on enhancements, taxes, license plate transfer, and repairs right after the purchase, adding up to a whopping $700 to $1000. After these initial expenses, the true extent of the car's issues started to reveal itself. A Philadelphia state inspection revealed multiple problems, including a new front tire requirement, a tag light replacement, and a malfunctioning front right headlight. This cost me an additional $300 in repairs. But the surprises didn't stop there. My check engine light illuminated shortly after, prompting me to seek professional help. Two different auto shops confirmed that I needed a new exhaust system and a co-sensor replacement. To make matters worse, when I returned to Central Jersey Auto Salvage seeking accountability for selling me a faulty vehicle, I was met with indifference and a complete lack of responsibility. Dave, the representative I spoke to, not only downplayed the issues but also suggested I buy a new Cadillac converter at my own expense. It's bewildering how they expect me to spend even more money with them after they knowingly sold me a car with major mechanical problems. You can save yourself time, money, and headaches by looking elsewhere for a reputable dealership that respects and values its customers. This experience has left a sour taste in my mouth, and I can confidently say that I will never recommend Central Jersey Auto Salvage to anyone. I ENDED UP SPENDING 2500 ON A WHOLE NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM AND NEW BRAKE PADS. Also, it is now leaking oil from the engine so I am forced to sell my car and buy a new one.

I've read good and bad reviews of this company. My personal experience was great. Made a deal and they picked up my truck within 45 mins. Handed over the title and keys and it was done. The driver was exceptional polite, did not rush, did not ruin the gravel drive. Would absolutely recommend this company.

Great experience working with Dave at Central Jersey Auto Salvage. I was ready to sell my old car and Dave was extremely professional and friendly. Dave and I easily agreed on a fair price for both of us and we had the deal done within minutes. I would highly recommend Dave and his team for anything you need.

Absolutely an amazing business. Drove all the way from Delaware to pick up an engine and the guys at the shop treated us like friends and took care of us very well. Amazingly priced items in the shop from the salvage yard. Would recommend anyone to come here at any time. Really good guys with up-beat attitudes.

When I say this was the best trans action I’ve made in quite sometime the staff was very helpful and knowledgeable about parts everything was ready to go when I came to pick it and the price was right if your look for a used car and parts for your car this is the place to go.

I purchased a Lincoln MKS last week. What a great place to buy a car! Dave & Max were amazing. I really felt at home. Dave is a stand up person. He does what he says he is going to do and bends over backwards to help you. The car is great! I recommend Central Jersey Auto to anyone who is looking to purchase a used car. For a pleasant experience, go there. Very rare in the car industry you meet people like this.

It was real pleasure to deal with you guys! Real professionals with passion to help you. I came there to buy a car I found online and they answered all my questions regarding the car, registration and insurance issues, helped me to leave with my new car same day. Also they helped me with something to my old car so now it runs as well. Highly recommended place to make business with! Спасибо!

These are genuine people offering an awesome experience! The team here provided the best customer service over the phone and when I arrived in person I felt like I was a part of the office family! They went out of their way to help me figure out some logistical things and gave fair pricing. The car business in general is not usually the most friendly or honest environment (from personal experience), however these peeps know how to keep it real and truly want the best outcome for everyone! I felt it! To Max, who carried the phones with stoke and grace and Dave who was thoughtful and caring .. thank you! It meant most!

Well I don't know another solid descriptor for my experience with Dave and his team other than WOW! Not only is he a nice guy but so is his staff and they are very accommodating. I went up to look at a unicorn vehicle (based on condition and miles) over 3.5 hours from me that he had for sale with a bucket full of skepticism in hand since he is also a salvage yard. I was met with welcoming arms and the keys to validate his claims on this vehicle, he even put it on his lift and left me alone to dig my heels in on the vehicle. I spent over an hour validating his claims and he was right, the vehicle was everything he said and more and it had an additional option package I was unaware of. While I paid out of book it was well worth the investment, as far as vehicles are an investment. I had it checked out at local Infinti dealer yesterday after an oil change and a multipoint inspection, provided by dealer to "find" business for the mechanic, the mechanic wrote "speechless" on condition, in a good way. I spent the last 2 days detailing the vehicle and as a former concours chief judge for Mercedes and BMW events have to say the paint is very nice for a 22 year old car, the prior owners were meticulous caretakers. The interior is immaculate, had all accessories and the carpets looked as if it was just delivered new that day. So Dave, thanks again for you and your teams honesty and transparency, its rare in your business as you and I discussed. I would not hesitate to procure another vehicle from Dave's team in the future if the need arises.
