To remain one of the leading New Jersey dealers in volume and customer satisfaction for a half century speaks to the dedication and ongoing commitment to quality of our entire staff of professionals, from management to sales to service to credit specialists.

In an era of faceless corporate conglomerates, the term family-owned is too often a phrase approved for use in a boardroom meeting as a marketing tool.

But Sansone is not just a trusted name... it’s a real family.

Paul Sansone, Sr. opened his first dealership (all pre-owned) in Woodbridge, NJ in 1960. The neighborhood immediately took to Paul’s style...low prices, personable service and above all, a reputation for honesty.

His second Preowned dealership opened shortly after in Fords, NJ. Paul’s first new car dealership (Toyota) opened in 1967.
Then in 1969 Paul Sansone Sr. founded what would become a New Jersey institution, Route 1 Automall. Combining Nissan and Toyota in one location was the start of Paul’s dream of accommodating every automotive customer under one roof...one of the world’s first Automalls.

For fifty years the Sansone philosophy has been simple: offer our customers MORE than any other dealer.

Today Route 1 Automall is just one component of the Sansone Group, offering great deals on 12 leading brands (Toyota, Scion, Nissan, Hyundai, Suzuki, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury, Jeep, Dodge and Chrysler), plus one of the area’s largest selections of Certified Pre-owneds. Encompassing 26 acres, Route 1 Automall is one of the largest of its kind anywhere and features amenities like complimentary shuttle service and many more extras exclusive to our customers.

Never one to rest on the laurels of past success, Paul Sansone, Sr. opened his newest dealership on Route 35 in Ocean, NJ in 2007, carrying Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Certified Pre-owned, together with Commercial Trucks and Fleet Business. The Route 35 location features Rausch, Saleen & Shelby...and is New Jersey’s only Dyno- machine dealer with Certified Technicians on-premises.
Today Sansone Automall customers can utilize cyberspace to access over 4,000 vehicles on the web. Our over-all network encompasses 17 franchises spread over a total of 35 acres!
