I’ve been buying vehicles from River Front Chrysler, Jeep & Dodge since 2017, and over the holiday weekend we just purchased our 7th vehicle from them. That alone says a lot about the trust and confidence we have in this dealership. Since day one, John Provenzano has taken care of my family’s vehicle needs and has always gone above and beyond. He is personable, accountable, and truly listens to what we need rather than trying to push us into something that doesn’t fit. He takes the time to make the process easy, stress-free, and personal. If you’re looking for someone who genuinely cares about finding the right vehicle for you and your family, I highly recommend asking for John. We’ll definitely continue coming back!

They made the whole experience smooth and simple.

We recently got our ProMaster from River Front Ram Truck Center, and I have to say Miles was the best to work with. He was very transparent, straightforward, and made the whole process feel easy. It wasn’t just Miles either — everyone at the dealership was honest, helpful, and really cared about making sure we got what we wanted. Buying a van can usually feel stressful, but they made the whole ProMaster buying experience smooth and simple. This is honestly the best van we’ve ever had, and I really appreciate Miles for helping us through everything and making sure we were taken care of. Thank you, Miles!

They have always been the dealer of choice.

I went to dealership for service recall not expecting to buy a new car. I found a new car while browsing the inventory which matched my desires and needs unexpectedly. They were gracious enough to allow me to take the car home and show it to my wife. Then they made the purchase of same easier than one might expect. They have always been the dealer of choice in my three previous purchases for care and service. I would (and have) recommend this dealership to anyone seeking a new vehicle.

Helpful and courteous.

Great customer service. Clean. Friendly and GREAT hot chocolate while you wait. The online sales person was there to greet us as we walked in, and then she handed it over to the sales rep, Tracey, to complete the sale. Vinnie from finance was really friendly and efficient! This process is dreaded by many, but everyone at River Front made it go as smooth as can be and we were out of there in less than 2 hours, which is impeccable timing for the car sales industry.

Felt no pressure to buy.

Erza was exceptional! We had several dealings with him over the course of 2025. He did an amazing job to make sure I was completely satisfied with the service. He went above and beyond to get the warranty coverage. The warranty company was less than cooperative but Ezra made things work for us. He is truly an asset to your company.

They made it hassle-free.

Recently purchased a used Ram at this dealership. Miles and Trish went above and beyond in terms of communication, ensuring the vehicle was checked out and prepped properly, and even followed up continuously after the sale on a few paint touch-ups. First time I actually enjoyed purchasing a vehicle. They made it hassle-free. Would definitely consider coming back in the future.

Highly recommend!

Purchased a new 2025 Jeep Wrangler today. I found River Front online and I worked primarily with Jim S who was great to work with. Communication was great and the buying process was efficient. There was ZERO pressure to buy all those "extras" most dealers push. I felt like the pricing was fair, I was treated respectfully and I would definately go back for my next Jeep! Overall a great buying experience - highly recommend!
