Went 2 times to look at a car, each time car could not be found. Ask many questions before you go, dont assume 100% acurracy on their part. Cars arent clean.. but the prices are good.. but as they say.. you get what you pay for! Just set your expectations really low.. you will have less chance of being let down. Or find a better dealership, thats what I did. Someone who worked really hard for my money and was super strong in customer satisfaction!

Response from J & M Automotive:

After reviewing Charlottes inquiry I found the following: Weds 7/19 after hours, Charlotte emailed about an X5, and she was responded to after hours that the X5 was available Thurs 7/20 she emailed at 7:32am asking our Friday hours since she gets half days on Fridays, she was responded to at 8:22am that we were open Fridays until 6pm Friday 7/21 she emailed at 7:42am stating she had driven by the lot the night before but did not see the X5, she was responded to at 10:07am that it was in fact not there but was having a repair done, she answered back at 10:30 "ok thanks!" Tuesday 7/25 Kyle reached out to her to let her know the X5 had returned to the dealership at 12:07pm and Charlottes response an hour later was "Awesome!! Curious what color is the interior??" to which Kyle promptly responded "Beige" Charlotte then responded: "Nice!!! Ok!! I will do a drive by tonite! I dont get home before 8pm, but if I like it I will give u a call tomorrow! Thanks!" From there we then received a phone call from an angry Charlotte stating she could not find the vehicle, to which Kyle responded "really? it is definitely here up in the back" ... she then became more agitated stating there wasnt a "Titanium Silver X5" but a "brown one"... Kyles response was that he knew the color to be a bronze/silver but wasnt aware of a factory color name or that was ever questioned. She became more agitated stating we wasted her time coming here then hung up. Kyle promptly checked the color, and sent her an email thanking her for the oversight and that the color was actually called "Platinum Bronze" and he would have it changed. Charlottes response was as follows: "Kyle, This is really beyond inconsiderate. Car sales is all about respect, relationships, and honesty. This was my second attempt to see this car, drive 40 miles to Naugatuck to see this car! First time it disappeared as it was out for repair. Now a second time, car wasnt even marked stating mileage and price, so I had no clue! I got home from work at 8:30pm, raced to get on the road, only to sit in construction 2 times, and got home at 10pm.. all that and couldnt find the car! The car wasnt marked like all the others, or properly identified in color from the website. Its not that I didnt send an email and say hey I will drive up after work and look at it, because I did send the email. It doesnt matter, Im no longer interested, if this is the level of care you give to your customers, Im not not your customer. I work hard for my money, I want it to be a great experience for me. And finally, bronze is neither silver or tan. And arguing with me was really poor strategy on your part." Kyle again reached out to Charlotte even apologizing that we couldnt work with her on this vehicle and wishing her luck in finding a vehicle! This was responded to stating we were "harassing her" at which point Kyle again apologized for any confusion and cut off communications Now we are receiving bad reviews from Charlotte over the situation which is why I felt the need to write such a long response to this including dates/times, etc. While we definitely had the wrong factory color stated originally, it was never part of the conversation until it was too late, Charlotte never provided a phone number for communication, and she only came after hours, never giving us the opportunity to show her the car. We do our best to help every customer possible before, during, AND after hours and this review is completely uncalled for. Any questions I would be happy to answer directly, feel free to call me at the dealership at 203-723-5666!

I was interested in one of their cars listed on their site, I emailed them and didnt receive anything back. They didnt seem the least of interested at all.

Response from J & M Automotive:

Thanks for your feedback, I oversee every incoming email personally and cannot find where you had sent in an inquiry, please email me directly at kyle@jmautomotive.com ASAP so I can have a look into this. Did you leave a callback number in your inquiry? Sometimes the online inquiries dont go through and I would like to look into it immediately. Thanks, Kyle Colby Sales Manager J&M Automotive

Im a business owner who was willing to travel 4 hours to buy from JM automotive. The reviews match there service and attention to detail. Buying a vehicle can be allot like going to the dentist, however my experience was painless and efficient. There was one issue overlooked by me and was overlooked by there motor pool at JM, but this issue was easily resolved. My salesman was Steve M., and Kyle; both salesman were extremely helpful and polite, and willing to go the extra mile to make this transaction go smoothly. I strongly recommend that you either seek out Steve M. Or Kyle In your next vehicle purchase.

Really nice showroom and a nice staff. I purchased my car online and the process could not have been easier. With a pretty lousy credit rating they managed to get me a very affordable loan payment and everything was ready when I picked up the car. They didnt try to upsell me on warranties or other products, was just a plain and simple no nonsense deal.

I had almost bought the same car from another dealer until i was informed i knew a mechanic here at JM automotive. JM not only gave me a better unpressured buying experince but provided fiancing far better then the previous used car dealerships i visited. Thank you JM you saved me from buying a Leom and put me behind a beautiful 2013 Suburu WRX. I would highly recomend JM Automotive, Brad the sales man was profesional and polite and had nothing but my best intrests in his mind. Ken and Steve in financing were amazing. Super fast and easy process highly recomended. I also highly recomend their full coverage package due to the caliber of mechanics employed here at JM. I feel safe and secure knowing a diligant mechanic will be working on my car if anything goes wrong. Thank you again JM automotive, Brad, Ken and Steve. They made buying my car a enjoyable experince. Thank you again, Yours Truly Ryan R.

Vin at J&M was honest, fair, helpful and he and Kyle followed through with everything they told me on the phone, after I drove 2 hours to see and buy the car (low mileage 2010 BMW 535xi). Very pleased and would not hesitate working with them again and/or recommending them. Felt like a quality new car dealership, not the feeling you generally get with used car dealers.

I found J&M after deciding with my wife it was time for a new vehicle. I went to another local dealership, but was not greeted in a friendly manner, so I left and just happened to drive past J&M. When I entered the dealership, I was greeted and asked if I needed help. I stated I was not sure and maybe just looking at some potential options. I sat down and spoke to Brad (hands down the best salesperson there) and described our financial situation along with our current level of need. Together we located the vehicle that fit my desire and needs and took it for a test drive. When we got back to the dealer, he asked if it was something I liked. Initially, I was hesitant because I was not with my wife and didnt want to make the final call without consulting her. Brad asked us to come back in and discuss this potential vehicle. After a few days, we came back in and spent some time with Brad. He eased my wifes concerns and answered every question we threw at him. After not being able to get approved at all these other "guarenteed approval" places, Brad saidlets give it a shot. Not only did we get out of our old vehicle, but the one we purchased did not increase our montly payment drastically. We were able to get more car for the same money montly. Ken and Brad were awesome to deal with and very easy to work along side. I would recommend this place to ANYONE looking for a quality used car. J&M truly is a pleasant car buyers experience. When everyone else said no, they said yes. They have earned our business again, defintely.

I wasnt sure what car was right for me and he worked and helped me to find the right car for myself. I would recommend anyone to go there because they work with you to make sure you leave with no regrets. Thank you to everyone that helped/assisted with me leaving with an amazing car.

We were looking for upgrading to a minivan for our growing family. We went to another dealership selling a similar car first and we decided to come to J & M to compare dealerships/cars. We are thrilled we did because the experience we had at J & M was outstanding. Sue, our salesperson, was warm and welcoming. She treated us if we were long-lost friends as soon as we walked in the door. Will definitely be back to purchase another car from here in the future.

They had a car from a few of the models we were looking at so my wife reached out and talked with Sue and she took care of us! We also got a great deal. Thanks for everything you did for us Sue! Also, Danielle in the lobby loaned me her phone charger so I could complete some military business and she also helped me clean up a mess when I was an idiot with some coffee. SO THANKS EVERYONE!

My nephew was looking for a solid, competitively priced, reliable used vehicle and he found it at J&M Automotive. Its an impressive dealership with a huge inventory. Our salesman, Mike Matos, was very welcoming, polite, professional and knowledgeable about the vehicle we were interested in without being the least bit pushy. We took our time with the test drive with Mike pointing out a few issues that he noticed in addition to answering all our many questions. Mike set in motion all the paperwork, etc. The car was ready when promised, after a complete mechanical check which included all new brakes, rotors, and pads. My nephew is very happy with his Subaru Legacy! The entire process went so smoothly thanks to Mike and staff. I would highly recommend J&M, a dealership where customer satisfaction is a top priority.

I had a great experience with J&M. My family has bought 3 other cars from them and loved them all. So naturally for my first car buying experience I came to J&M. Ray was very professional and helpful in helping me find a car, which was at first a 2009 VW passat, which sadly wasnt approved by the bank for a loan but both him and Steve helped me find another car and helped me get approved! Now im driving a beautiful 2013 VW jetta hybrid. Even though it did have problems shortly after acquiring the car, Ray still helped me by getting my car into their service department very quickly. Although it still has to go to a VW dealership to get fixed they did all the legwork for me. Still very happy and content with my first car buying experience!
