OCEAN, NJ, January 16, 2012 -"Twenty-five years," said Rich Williams, Centre Manager of Land Rover Monmouth and Chief Operating Officer of the Schneider+Nelson Auto Group, "is, for us, a very happy and proud milestone. And, in 2012, our 25th year in the business of offering, what the world knows as, 'the best 4x4 by far' is something we intend to celebrate."
Originally, when the doors were opened in 1987 by owners Phil Schneider and Jerry Nelson, Land Rover Monmouth was situated in West Long Branch, NJ. Not long after opening, with their business expanding and public interest in SUVs growing by leaps and bounds, they decided to build a dedicated Land Rover Centre with its own specialized, permanent demonstration 'Rocks Course' area for test drives and demos.
Today, Land Rover Monmouth, now located in Ocean Township, NJ, just north of the Asbury Park Circle on Highway 35, is the premiere destination for Land Rover owners working, living and playing on the Jersey shore. And, the Centre is a convenient drive for most in the greater tri-state, New York metropolitan area.
This dedicated, full-service, Land Rover Adventure Centre truly encompasses a comprehensive client experience. The facility houses the sales, parts and service departments as well as a very well-stocked Land Rover GEAR shop.
"Over the years, many of our clients have become friends, often just stopping by for a cup of coffee and a chat about one of their favorite topics---Land Rovers. We really DO establish great long-term relationships with our clients," continued Williams.
"Absolutely," injected Cliff Neubart, General Sales Manager. "We at Land Rover Monmouth, our Sales Guides, and really our entire staff, strive to establish life-long relationships as befits the Land Rover Way," said Neubart.
"Indeed," said Bruce Lavorgna, LRM's Parts Manager. "People, our clients, know and appreciate that we'll go that extra yard to be sure they're taken care of completely. We treat our customers the way we would like to be treated, as individuals."
"I'm always happy to see a long-time client when they stop by," commented Larry Campbell, Service Manager. "It's all about relationships," concluded Campbell.
When asked as to plans for celebrating their milestone 25th anniversary year, Rich Williams said simply, "We've got a lot of exciting plans in the works. They're in process and so I can't reveal them presently, but folks should keep an eye open for some exciting things that'll be happening here at our Centre this year," said Williams.
