Passionate About Their Cars
"Jaguar is not a high-volume brand that tries to stretch its appeal across different price point - it is a niche, value-oriented player," adds Squitieri.
Jaguars have a certain mystique that attracts the most discerning customers. So when an opportunity arose to purchase the Madison dealership, Dennis Squitieri scooped it up. "Our location in Bergen County has been selling only Jaguars for 50 years, and we realized that Madison was an area that also truly understood and loved the car," he says. "The two location - Bergen and Madison - have been neck and neck in the top national rankings in terms of sales and customer satisfaction for years."
Squitieri, the dealer/principal of Madison and Bergen Jaguar, says the term "dealership" is also a bit of a misnomer. Rather, a Jaguar dealership would be better described as a customer-oriented luxury automotive boutique. To further this experience, Madison is undergoing an extensive renovation that will consolidate service, parts and sales into one showroom facility that will make any visit a more intimate experience. In addition, Madison Jaguar expects to be holding a number of customer events and clinics as well as a grand opening in the near future.
