“To Pat, Joe & Travis

A visit to your dealership for me was a pleasure. You all treated me with respect & did everything i asked for. I may not have not been able to do the deal right now, but it was not because of anyone there. I will be back & in the very near future.
these are a group of fine men to work with.

Thanks,

After the opening of our new Hyundai of Toms River building on November 1^st, Lester Glenn Auto Group is taking on another monumental change. On November 15^th, we will be opening yet another dealership. This will be nine different makes at five NEW car locations in Ocean County. This doesn’t include our Pre-Owned Superstore or our body shop on Route 9 in Toms River.

As always our goal is to bring you the best quality vehicles at a great price with 100% customer satisfaction. Whether it is at our new Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge and Ram location, or Mazda, Subaru, Buick, GMC or Hyundai, we hope to see you soon and give you the Lester Glenn Experience!!!

Ever ask yourself, “How can I get the most mileage out of my car?” Well here are a few tips from Lester Glenn Auto Group to help you in your endeavor to pay less at the pumps.

Lighten up that lead foot.

Accelerating quickly consumes more gas than a gradual and consistent increase of speed. The lighter you are on the gas pedal, the less gas you will use.

Slow down!

The faster you go in a certain gear, the more gas you will burn. A decrease of 5 miles per hour can go a long way.  Also, try to be more consistent with your speed.  A constant rate of speed will help from the constant up and down of the engine.  This is where cruise control can really help out.

Loose some weight!

Is your car full of extras like umbrellas, clothes, sports equipment, etc.? The more weight your car is trying to move, the more gas it will take to get the car moving. Lighten your carload. Only keep the bare essentials you absolutely need in your car (including any roadside emergency kits, just in case).

Find a friend or take public transportation.

Splitting car time with a co-worker or friend that works in the area of your job is always a good idea. Driving every other week will instantly reduce your commuting gas payments in half. Also, don’t forget about public transportation. Trains or buses can carry large amounts of passengers for a lot less gas, so you not only save money at the pumps but you are also going GREEN!!!

Windows down or A/C on?

Depending on your speed, the answer varies. If you are driving at lower speeds (40 mph or less, as a rough estimate) that need less aerodynamics, windows down is the way to go. If you are cruising on the parkway or turnpike where aerodynamics is more of a factor, put your A/C on and roll your windows up.

Tires, Tires, Tires

Properly inflated tires can help keep your miles per gallon average up. Low tire pressure can reduce your fuel economy by a couple miles per gallon. Look at the sticker on your door jam or in the owner’s manual to see what the proper PSI for your car is. DON’T GO BY THE SIDEWALL SPECS ON THE TIRES!

Regular, Plus or Premium?

This is another question that depends on the type of car you drive. If you have a car that calls for regular gasoline, there is no reason to run it on anything higher. If you have a car that requires premium or if your car has a supercharger or turbo, best bet is to pay the extra. Owner’s manuals may “recommend” premium or for “best performance.” You have to use your discretion or speak with your dealership to see what they would suggest.

Aftermarket add-ons.

Bigger wheels may look nice on your car, but can severely lower your gas mileage. The wider the tire, the more friction the tire will have with the road, which uses more gas to get moving and continue to move. Bug deflectors are great for keeping insects from hitting your windshield, but they also will hinder your cars aerodynamics.

Purchase a more fuel efficient car.

Trading in a gas guzzler for a more fuel efficient car will drastically decrease money spent at the gas station. The argument against this concept is simple: why would I buy a new car to spend less on gas? This is true, you will be spending money up front. But every time you go to a gas station, you will be seeing a return on your investment and helping the environment with using less gas and going further down the road.

Lester Glenn Hyundai of Toms River and Manahawkin are now certifying pre-owned Hyundais.  This will afford our customers more choices when it comes to purchasing a quality vehicle at an affordable price. 

So what Hyundais make the cut to become a Certified, Pre-Owned vehicle?  To even be considered as certifiable, the car must be less than 5 model years old and have less than 60,000 miles.  Every Certified, Pre-Owned Hyundai must go through a rigorous 150 point inspection. We also make sure our Certified, Pre-Owned vehicles have a clear CarFax vehicle history report.   

Why should I buy a Certified, Pre-Owned Hyundai instead of a used car? As with new Hyundais, our Certified, Pre-Owned vehicles come with 10 year/100,000 mile powertrain warranty.  It also comes with a 10 year, unlimited mile roadside assistance plan and Towing/Rental/Travel breakdown benefits.  Certified, Pre-Owned Hyundais are also eligible for additional comprehensive mechanical failure coverage up to 100,000 miles. 

Stop by our showroom for more details or visit our websites for Toms River or Manahawkin to check out our Certified, Pre-Owned Hyundai inventory.

My first day was full of excitement and nervousness of the unknown. I had just left a small company of nine to go to a company of over 250 employees. As I walked up to the service door entrance I was greeted with a smile and hello by a few sales employees, as well as the receptionist as I made my way to the front desk.  I knew the feel as a customer of Lester Glenn having bought my car here only a few months before, but this time I was there as an employee. I asked the receptionist where to go for the new employee orientation. She politely directed me upstairs.

One of the first co-workers I met was Sylvia, one of the bookkeepers. She took on the job of ensuring that all new employees that day completed the training program and filled out the proper paperwork. The paperwork was a lot more than expected but Sylvia walked us through everything that needed to be done with encouraging words and a smile on her face the whole time.

After the training and paperwork, it was off to the office I will be spending a good majority of my time in. I am convinced my manager, Chris, is part Eskimo. The office is kept cold, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. I made a very quick mental note to bring a fleece in the next day. Chris introduced me to Stacy, Kyle and Joe, whom I would be sharing the office with, and then Chris showed me what projects were in the works and gave me an idea of what was expected of my position. After a bit of familiarizing myself with the programs and researching ideas, the day came quickly to an end and my first day came to a close.

I know a lot of friends that say their first day was something they will never forget. For me, it was a day of uncertainty met with a sense of home. Everyone I had met made it feel like I had been here for years. I am one of the few customers that gets to not only experience the high regard this company has for its customers, but also the respect and appreciation Lester Glenn Auto Group has for its employees, no matter if they have been there for years or in my case hours.

Looking forward to a great career here.

The “New” Ryan

Lester Glenn Auto Group has been in this particular building since 1956, which was year one of the business. I wouldn’t be surprised by the following two possibilities:

1. The coat rack has been here since 1956
2. The coat rack has not been used since 1956

If the coat rack could talk, what would it tell us about the past 50+ years? Would it tell stories of salespeople who’ve come and gone? Of good times? Of hard times? Although this has little to do with Lester Glenn’s usual business, I’d like to honor the coat rack with the following poem. The spoken word was provided by Bill “T.S”. Mallek, a Lester Glenn employee/poet who shares my appreciation for the little things.

Jerry is a salesman at our GM/Buick dealership. He’s been here for quite a while; long enough to amuse himself at the expense of others. I took the Jerry Challenge my first week as an employee. Needless to say, I failed. But failing is winning and winning is failing because it’s not really a challenge. Nor is it a riddle. Rather, it’s a practical joke disguised as an intellectual battle between man and beast.

The challenge was so amusing, we decided to make it bigger. So we dared our fans on Facebook to come in to take the challenge. Win or lose, we gave the first person to come in $100 gift cards to an Italian Specialities Market. Enter Joanne.

Joanne’s daughter follows us on Facebook and heard about the Jerry Challenge, so she convinced her mother to come in. “I’m here for the Jerry Challenge,” she said with a print-out her daughter provided. Camera in hand, we documented our first ever internet-driven contest. Click here to see Joanne take the Jerry Challenge.
