Dear Mr. Chambers,
I just want to send you a note to say how pleased I am with
the way your staff handled my recent purchase of a used car
from your dealership. Everyone I dealt with was professional
and pleasant, and delivered on every commitment. I am happy
with the car I purchased and very pleased with the way I was
treated.
My special thanks are for Harold Cayouette at your used
Cadillac dealership in Warwick. Harold did everything he
could to make the car buying procedure hassle free for me.
To use the overworked expression, he exceeded my
expectations. I will recommend my friends see Harold when
they are looking for a new car. I was also treated very well
by Bill Shaw at your Lexus dealership in Sharon when I
called for information. Bill explained your procedures for
moving the car I was interested in from Sharon to Warwick.
Also, Paul Nischo in Warwick helped everything go smoothly.
You understand the internet sales concept! Buyers like
myself prefer to research cars on the internet, and finalize
as much of the deal as possible on line before going into
the dealership. We specifically do not want to negotiate in
the sales cubicle! Herb Chambers does an excellent job of
showing your inventory on your web site. The many photos of
the cars are good, and I particularly liked the Carfax
reports. Thanks to you and your staff for helping me find
and purchase the car I wanted.
Sincerely, Herbert

Greatest Car Buying Experience at
Herb Chambers Ford of Westborough
Ashley – Framingham,

I had the greatest car buying experience at your Westboro
Ford dealership! This is the first new car I’ve bought, 2010
Ford focus SE, and the sales team did a great job walking me
through every step. They never once pressured me into a car.
They listened to exactly what I needed and showed me a
variety of cars till I found the perfect fit. Bando and
Michael Romiza went out of their way to find me a great deal
and a great car that was reliable and stylish. My new car is
the perfect car for me! Mike was able to meet with me a few
days before the car was delivered so I could do the paper
work. The day I went to pick up my car, while the service
crew was cleaning and gassing it up, I started up a
conversation with another sales person about having
diabetes, which we both have. The next day when I returned
to get my things for the car, that same associate gave me
the name of a great website for diabetes related items. It
was so nice of him! Everyone at the dealership was wonderful
and I would refer anyone I know to Herb Chambers!

Dear Herb.
I wanted to let you know that I drove into your dealership
in Sharon to get two wiper blades and drove out buying two
pre owned Lexus's. I was really impressed with our sales
person Staline Biosse, who we found to be a real genuine
person , who really cared, and when wwe cam e in for
delivery , w he really went the extra mile tp make the
experience a wonderful one. He even personally painted the
hitch that was moved from our old care to the new car, and
made it look brand new. Both cars Lx460L and RX 350h were
immaculate condition, . I never felt this conformable with a
sales man and i’ve been buying Lexus for over 20 years. Aldo
Charlie Saghbini, sales manager, and Paul Cunha, The general
sales manager, were really great and went the extra mile to
make a deal. Seriously, i only wanted two wiper blades that
day.
Thank
Barry

Best Experience Ever at Herb
Chambers Infiniti of Boston
Jason – Boston, MA
Categories: Service Dept.
Posted on June 29, 2010
June 26, 2010
Today, I went to the dealership for a routine oil change and
to fix 3-4 issues with the car. It was actually the best
experience that I ever had for service at your dealership as
well as other dealerships.
The service advisor, Erio Perez, was polite and very
knowledgeable about potential issues. He suggested that I
should change the brakes even if it was not at your
dealership to avoid damaging the rotors.
The mechanic, Beltron Oltron, was also very good. He was
also polite and knowledgable. He sat in the car with me to
diagnose the rattle that I was having. Even though I could
not reproduce the rattle as loud as it usually is, never
once did he say I could not hear it or that’s normal (as I
heard this from other mechanics before).
I just wanted to leave some good words for the two of them.
This was the best experience bringing in my car for service
at any dealership.

Going Above
and Beyond to Make a Customer Happy at Herb Chambers Dodge of
Danvers
Charlene – Pepperell, MA
Categories: Sales Dept.
Posted
on June 17, 2010
Hello, I just wanted to let
you know what a positive experience I had at your dealership
in Danvers.
My son, who has nothing but
good things to say about your dealerships, found a 2008 Nissan
Altima SL at your Danvers showroom, which was exactly what I
wanted. I called and asked for the Sales Manager and Bill Lee
got on the phone with me, made sure it was still on the lot
and set me up with a terrific, honest, no bs salesman, John
Puleo. I have to say that both Bill and John went out of their
way to make sure I was satisfied. And, I must say, I tested
them! I discovered a few ‘dings’ on the passenger side the day
I picked the car up. John said not to worry they would have
them fixed for me just call when I was available to leave the
car. John actually called me the following week to see when
I wanted to come in.
I was provided with a rental
for the day and the dings were fixed as best they could by Dent
Wizard. A few days later I noticed some scratches on the rocker
panel on the drivers side, I called, brought it in and they
buffed them out for me. Bill assured me that if the buffing
didn’t work we would figure something out (and I felt confident
he would). And finally, when I originally picked up the car
there was only one ‘intelligent’ key with the car, which really
concerned me.
Bill called the gentleman
that traded the car and asked if he would look for the extra
key for me. Today I got a call from Bill saying the key had
been dropped off! I would call that going above and beyond to
make a customer happy! I can assure you, I will go back to Herb
Chambers again and recommend them to my friends. Thank you for
requiring such excellence in your dealership.
Charlene, a satisfied
customer!

Exemplary Service at Herb Chambers Mercedes Benz

June 14, 2010
I wanted to pass on my appreciation regarding one of your employees.
Stephen Boston, of Mercedes of Natick, provided outstanding
assistance and customer service regarding one of your used MBZ
G500s.
He provided accurate and timely information to aid us in our
decision to proceed with the transaction. Unfortunately for
us, there was a local buyer who elected to purchase the vehicle
before we
could make a final decision.
We live in Salt Lake City, Utah and a long-distance purchase
is not an easy task to accomplish. However, Steve made us feel
comfortable, as if we were right next door. Though the current
vehicle is
sold, we have asked Steve to keep us informed of any incoming
G500s. We would be happy to work with him again and hope he
is recognized for his exemplary service and attitude. Please
pass on our
thanks.

MSgt Mario

Hi Herb- We visited the Tom O’Brien showroom on Wednesday, May
26th and test drove the Hyundai SE. Although the salesman there
was very accommodating, another female negotiating the pricing
was
very unprofessional and appeared to be on some sort of power
trip. As a result of her behavior, we decided to purchase the
vehicle from Herb Chambers. Kym, Ira, and especially Roberto
showed
exceptional professionalism. Roberto went above and beyond what
we expected to make sure that our daughter received her graduation
gift today by personally delivering the vehicle to our home
and
spending time to explain all the features to her. We are very
pleased with your staff and we think they deserve recognition
for making our purchase a quick and painless process. We would
recommend
anyone to your dealership with confidence. Thank you again!!!
We wish you all the best. Risa and Brian

Herb, Just wanted to let you know my wife and I purchased a
2008 Mercedes CLK 350 CPO from Flagship Motorcars, Lynnfield
this past week. The people there were very accomodating and
never pushy. They
basically gave you all the info you needed to know about the
car, the dealership, and then let us decide if that is what
we wanted and whether we wanted to buy from them. My wife is
very excited
about her “new” car especially since it is a model she fell
in love with years ago and it has her initials ‘CLK’. You also
had the only Blue one in stock. Now if the weather would only
warm up, we
could put the top down and enjoy it fully.
Best regards,
Bill

Purchased ‘10 CTS WGN. this past Monday in Warwick. Salesman
JIM McKENNA. This is the 6th Caddi we’ve owned, the previous
purchased in NH.
In all our Caddi experience never have we had a rep. better
than McKenna; never. The man went out of his way with understanding,
concern and responsiveness. Further, he was TOTALLY knowledgeable;
ie;
he was able to answer any and all questions without consultation.
If I ran any type of a sales organization, I would hire him
in a minute and, remember, we are talking about a car salesman
here.
Great job.

Well Herb, its been almost 3 weeks since I walked into your
Seekonk location. Buying a car has not been fun for me over
the years. I have bought a number of cars and have been lied
to and cheated
by the best of them. When I met Noah Gardner, he was new at
sales and was very nice, polite, professional, and courteous.
He anwserd all my questions but if there was some thing he did
not know he
told me the truth ( what a concept ) then made a call and found
the correct anwser. Being a service technician for Copy Products,
ACOPY, IKON for over 29 years I know how important it is to
make
the customer feel like they are special. Your salesman made
me feel special. That’s why I bought the Honda 2010 ODYSSEY.
Noah Gardner has also called to follow up and see how I was
doing…that’s
great service. Thank you, Noah, and the rest of the Seekonk
team for changing my image of car salemen and for making this
a positive experience.
Thank You

Dear Mr. Chambers, My wife and I recently had a desire to buy
another car. We knew right away that we had to contact Anthony
Carlino at you’re Westborogh Infinity dealership. We had previously
purchased an awesome Acura RSX from him last year. Anthony immediately
got back to us with a great deal. We drove down from Tyngsboro
to see him and although the car wasn’t for us it was still
great to reconnect with Anthony. We described the vehicle we
wanted to him after going for a test drive and now have him
looking out for us. I have been to dozens of dealerships in
the past, but
now my wife and I refuse to go anywhere else. Even though we
make a good living we definitely don’t dress the part and we
look like a couple of teenagers. That has never been an issue
with your
Westborough Infinity staff. In fact, now we say to everyone
“We have people.” This is simply because we know for a fact
that we won’t get a better deal from anyone else. We won’t get
the kind of
respect and sense of friendship anywhere else. Anthony, Paul
and James are our people, and we recommend them to everyone
regardless of what kind of car they’re looking for. They do
you great
justice and I still can’t believe I am saying all this about
a car dealership. I really can’t say enough though.
A great thanks for Anthony Carlino, Paul Martineau, and James
Teague…Our people. And thanks Herb for making a normally tedious
task into a delightful experience. I think if we lived closer
we’d
probably stop by just to say hi to everyone.

I recently (yesterday!) purchased a 2011 328i from Herb Chambers
BMW in Boston. I was extremely impressed with everyone with
whom I had contact at the dealership. It was a great experience
and I
would highly recommend your dealership to anyone! I had been
looking at new BMW’s while I was on vacation in Florida, but
preferred to buy at home in Boston, so contacted the dealership
by phone
from Florida. Kaif Thompson was the salesperson with whom I
dealt. He was extremely helpful, locating a vehicle that met
all of my specifications. He was professional, knowledgeable,
straightforward, extremely pleasant and a great person with
whom to do business. The two gentleman in finance that worked
with me, Ozzie and Kevin were also extremely helpful, knowledgeable
and
professional, and also very pleasant. Over the past several
years, I have had my 2002 BMW serviced at this dealership and
have also had a similar experience with your service department.
In the
service dept., I have dealt primarily with Jim Miscioscia. He
has offered me the same level of professional and excellent
service.
I am thrilled with my new car and look forward to dealing
with Herb
Chambers BMW in the future!
Sincerely, Debra

Outstanding Buying Experience at Herb Chambers

My husband and I recently bought a 2010 Infinity EX35 from Herb
Chambers Infinity in Westborough. The car buying experience
is not usually something we enjoy, as a matter of fact the day
before we
almost bought an Acura, but the sales guy was so rude actually
demanding a deposit, we left and decided to seek out other options.
My husband suggested I check out the Infinity EX35, I walked
into
the dealership and was promptly greeted by Anthony Carlino.
Being alone minus my husband I was a little worried, in the
past I have had not so great experiences venturing into a car
dealership
alone. Anthony understood this would be my vehicle and went
above and beyond to show me the car, have me drive it and show
me all the features and options available. He gave me a tour
of the
facility even before we decided we wanted the car. There was
no pressure what so ever, all my questions were answered and
it was overall a seamless car buying experience. The deal was
done promptly
and efficiently. We knew we loved the vehicle and could have
went elsewhere to buy it, but we were so impressed with the
outstanding customer service and attention to detail we had
no need to leave.
Anthony was professional, fair and easily accessible the days
following the sale with a few questions I had.
We have both agreed we look
forward to working with Anthony in the future and have
already recommended him to friends who inquired of our vehicle
purchase. ~

in my 2009 Kia Sedona to have a problem fixed. Your service
people were extremely friendly, experienced and helpful as when
a
efficient. My car was fixed quickly, returned cleaned and vacuumed.
I will be returning shortly for a additional repair when the
part is sent6 to the repair department. I am so lucky to have
such an
professional respectful dealership nearby to handle any problems.
Your team deserve a well earned thank you. Oh, yeah, I love
my Kia.

Fantastic Service Rep at Herb Chambers Ford of Westborough

Hi Herb,
Just wanted to drop you a quick note on one of your service
people at HC Ford Westborough. I called to get information on
what might be involved in getting my 2007 F-150 inspected prior
to making a
long drive on our upcoming vacation. The service rep I spoke
with was Carrie and she was fantastic. She listened to what
I wanted (Important) and spent the time necessary to make sure
I was well informed about all options, pricing, and scheduling
availability. My conversation with her is enough to convince
me to have my vehicle serviced at HC Ford of Westborough.
Sincerely, Peter
P.S. It would be great if your dealerships started offering
Nitrogen tire inflation

Hello,
My name is Joe. I would like to let you know that I just bought
a new car at the Infiniti-Westborough. And WOW, buying from
Herb Chambers-Westborough was the best thing I could have done.
This is a long story but I will try to keep it short. I bought
a g37 sedan from your Westborough dealership about 3 weeks ago.
First off the dealership itself is beautiful and elegant, kind
of like a jewelry store for automobiles. Pranav Gil and the
salesman Jess, I forgot his last name, were both great, professional
and very helpful. And I walked out happy.
But soon after, I regretted getting the sedan as I am more of
a coupe type person. So I decided to trade in the sedan for
the coupe. So I went to the Norwood Infiniti as it was closer
to my house.
And I was very shocked and disappointed at how different the
car buying experience was between your dealership and that of
Norwood. Norwood was horrible, they promised things they couldn’t
deliver,
their salesperson was not knowledgeable of the car and its options,
and the list goes on. They made me feel like they were doing
me a favor by letting me trade in the car that I just bought.
I felt like a second class customer and I was not treated very
well.
So I decided to go back to your Westborough location. And I
am so glad I did. Pranav welcomed me back again with kindness
and professionalism. Pranav introduced me to salesman Anthony
Carlino, who
was beyond outstanding. I can’t say enough about Anthony, he
spent a whole day with me getting the deal done and he was very
empathetic to my situation. Anthony knew the car inside and
out. His confidence was comforting and infectious. Overall,
Anthony went above and beyond his job description to not only
close the “deal” but he also made me feel like a top rated customer,
who won the day.
And even after a day, he checked
in to see how I was doing.
I know I failed at making this short but I was so impressed
with the Westborough Infiniti that I just wanted to let you
know how wonderful your dealership was to me. I am a Boston
firefighter and I will definitely recommend Herb Chambers to
all my co-workers, friends and family when buying a car.
Thank you again for having a professional and knowledgeable
staff.

Hi Herb, As my wife Gail and I mentioned when we sat with you
at the FEI dinner last October, the guys at MB-Natick are absolutely
outstanding. The Natick store has been and will continue to
be the
“only” place we will go for sales and service. They are continuing
to uphold the tradition of quality and integrity that I know
you demonstrate in all of your business initiatives. I’m just
about ready to look into my next C300 and Gail will follow in
late 2010 or early 2011. J C Cabanos will be selling us our
7-8 Mercedes. On another subject, you said during your FEI presentation
that you always answer e-mails and telephone calls. You reiterated
same during our conversation. You are a man of your word, as
several of my colleagues in the Boston business community have
told me of your responsiveness to their communications. I applaud
you for that. My very best wishes for continued success. Regards,

Such a Great Deal at Herb Chambers Lexus of Norwood,

Hi Herb, I have seen you spot-lighted on TV at an auto auction
on HD theatre. You were bidding on an exotic car. I don?t think
you won but your passion was evident. I also enjoyed a video
of you
demonstrating a Mclaren on Boston dot com. If I had the means,
I too would like have a small number of my favorite exotic rides.
Anyway, I?m not but I now own my two favorite affordable cars
in
the world. My last one thanks to your dealership for Lexus in
Sharon. Last weekend I decided to sell my 2003 Element, which
I use to move about my musical equipment amongst other things.
It was a
nice vehicle but since 2004 I?ve always wanted a Scion xB gen.1.
Your dealership recently took one in trade and I was lucky enough
to find on web. It was exactly the car I was looking for and
because of your leadership I was able to find such a great deal
for this car. The mileage was so low, you could of got at least
$2000 more, which I would of passed on. It was a great buying
experience; everyone was great that I came in contact with at
Lexus of Sharon.
I also own a 2001 Toyota MR2 Spyder, which is my answer to owning
a Mclaren or other exotic. I know I get the same feeling driving
this as you do in an exotic. Owning these two cars makes reading,
watching on TV and visiting car meets more exciting.
Thank you for my latest unique car and hope to see more of you
on TV and video demonstrating your exotics and at auctions.
I will live my dream vicariously through my two cars and your
spirit for
all things automotive.
Sincerely, Peter

I wanted to let you know what a great staff you have at the
BMW Commonwealth ave location. My wife had driven from CT to
Boston for a sensitive family matter last week and the fan clutch
went out on
our 5 series, leaving my wife stranded. Rick Bunker and the

have done a better job of being accommodating to my wife and
turning around a
very stressful situation. Rick was able to make an emergency
appointment, get the five series properly repaired that day
and my wife was able to drive home that afternoon.
I hope you can recognize Rick and the rest of the Commonwealth

going above and beyond to help out a long time BMW customer

I hope you expand to Fairfield County, with Regards, RAA

Enjoyable Buying Experience at Herb Chambers Mercedes of Natick,

Hello Herb,
I want to thank you for the outstanding support your Natick
team offered my wife and I during our recent Mercedes purchase.
I am a Sales Manager myself and I appreciate great service so
I wanted to
share our great experience with you.
We live near Inskip in RI so we shopped there. We also looked
at the Westwood dealership and others but between the lack of
service, inaccurate information provided through their website,
and their
limited selection of vehicles, we selected a vehicle at Herb
Chambers of Natick. After 3 visits, we bought a Mercedes. I
wish I could name all the friendly / very knowledgeable people
we met. It
started with Brad who reeled me in through the internet and
then we interacted with about 5 other outstanding employees
to include Fred, Lou, Aidan, and a few others.
We will pick our car up this Wednesday (I think) and look forward
to driving our first Mercedes. So from one Herb to another,
thank you for making our buying experience an enjoyable one.
Rgds,
Herb

Hi, We just leased a mini hope to get it this coming week, and
had a completely positive experience with the team on Comm Ave.
In particular, I have to tell you that my husband and I (who
have bought and leased many cars in our 30-year marriage) have
never had a better sales person than Gabriella Hanley. She was
really a pleasure to deal with. She was extremely helpful and
knowledgeable, and most impressively did not try to sell us
something we didn’t want or need. We felt that she was really
trying to find the best fit for us something we’d really be
happy with. Between her great service, and the Business
Manager, Kevin Barry, who helped put together a very fair lease
package for us, we walked away extremely pleased and satisfied.
many thanks,
Kathy

Dear Mr.Chambers my fiancé and I really have to commend the
staff at the Chrysler Jeep Dodge dealership in Danvers. I have
been rather picky in my search for my ‘dream’ Jeep Wrangler,
and Jim and his staff really went above and beyond. Jim himself
called many dealers, outside of Massachusetts, to ensure that
he could find my car. He kept us in the loop when things didn’t
go quite as fast as he knew we were hoping for. I enjoyed working
with Anabelle (sales) and Josh (financing) they took an intimidating
experience and made it easy, with a real honest friendliness.
My fiancé and I felt very comfortable working with them, and
the price was perfect for what we all went through. A real positive
experience, and I will be happy to return for keeping my Wrangler
looking and working as new. Sincerely, Debby and Frank

I just purchased a pre-owned Lexus ls460L from Mohammad. I purchased
it via the internet. I found the car via searching for a Red
pre owned Lexus LS460 L. After finding the car I called and
Mohammad talked to me about the car. He got my confidence up
to the point that I purchased the car “sight-un-seen”. He did
a great Job of selling me the car then he turned me over to
Azi to do the paper work via the phone…. Azi is as professional
as it gets. Because of the complicated way in which I title
my cars, it is a bit of a stretch for a car dealer’s office
to understand. However having said that Azi understood want
I wanted and he made it happen. I was impressed. But the best
part of my story is picking the car up. I flew into Boston Friday
morning, Anthony cam to the
air port to pick me up. He was very accommodating. He spend
all the time I needed to understand the features of the car
etc. Azi, and Mohammad finished the paper work with me and I
left. I drove straight back to TN — where I had a meeting at
1pm on Saturday I drove straight thro (18 hrs of driving) —
The Car is even more that Mohammad told me it is. It is perfect
and my experience with you company could not have been better.
You should be very proud to be able to have staff people like
these three guys. I think they are helping you set a new lever
of satisfaction. BTW I stopped at you Lexus dealership on my
way out of town to buy a “Lexus” license plate holder. — WOW
what a beautiful dealership. The guy in parts was very helpful
in not only helping me select the plate holder but also giving
me some directions as to the fastest way around some traffic.
You have trained you people well in regards to customer attention.
I only hope my customers get the same kind of
experience from my sales people. Congratulation on you staff.
Thanks again, Sincerely, Bill

gave us a very good deal, we did not have to haggle for hours,
he made the whole buying experience a pleasure. This man should
be a role model for all your employees. Jimmy ran around in

that there have been some very positive changes since I last

To FMW Service Department:
I cannot begin to explain the professionalism, care, and value
that FMW has shown to me as a customer. And by all means, I
am not an frequent MB buyer, I didn’t even buy my vehicle through
Herb Chambers! I will now though and here is why!
I inherited a 2002 C230 Kompressor with extremely low miles
along with some extremely expensive problems. Both my father
and myself have gotten our MB’s serviced here before and have
had nothing short of a delightful experience.
Furthermore and specifically, Ken Black should be noted as a
not-so-average service manager. I have had MANY vehicles serviced
at a number of different dealer owned service shops and no experience
has come closely to FMW. Ken has gone out of his way on MULTIPLE
occasions to help me maintain my problematic vehicle. He is
driven to maintain customer satisfaction and from my research,
many
others share the same opinion. FMW has a fair and honest service
department that I would never hesitate to recommend.

I had a tire bust on my RAV4. I called for an appointment and
was very pleased they fit me in so quickly to replace the tire
(and an oil change). I had paid for tire coverage. They did
not see me as having the tire coverage, so it took for me to
dig out my paperwork when I leased the RAV so I could show them
that I did. (I guess the tire coverage place changed names or
something). I just wanted to say that despite this initial snag,
everyone was very, VERY helpful, from the finance manager (I
believe it was Steve or Scott) on down. But most helpful of
all was Jessica Cantwel in service. She went above and beyond
to make sure that I was taken care of, calling me several times
and letting me know how things were being done. I have bought
two corollas, two rav4s, an echo and probably more that I cant

Dear Mr. Chambers,
My new Ford Fusion Hybrid finally arrived and I just picked
it up. I want you to know that your staff met and exceeded all
of my expectations in purchasing and taking delivery of a new
automobile. I truly felt that your goal was to help me pick
the right vehicle to meet my needs and make the buying experience
as stressless as possible which you succeeded to do.
I would like to specifically acknowledge two people in your
dealership that worked with me.
My first contact in your dealership was with my salesman, Bandoh.
He was very professional, thorough and patient. When it was
time to negotiate the price of the automobile, he introduced
me to your sales manager, Jed. I was expecting to be high pressured
to purchase options that I did not need as had been the case
when I purchased new vehicles in the past. I was pleasantly
surprised that Jed did not attempt to pressure me in any way
and we were able to negotiate very pleasantly a selling price
for my vehicle. I felt that I was dealing with family.
When it was time for me to pick up my vehicle, I had some questions
about the original sales order. Jed, very quickly, professionally
and fairly resolved the issues. He is truly an asset to your
organization.
When it was time to take delivery of my vehicle, Bandoh made
certain that it was fully detailed and operational. He expedited
the paper work and spent considerable time in securing the license
plates that I wanted. He went over the operation of the vehicle
and made certain that all of my questions were fully answered.
I was also introduced to the general manager, service manager
and business manager and was very impressed with theirs goals
to answer my questions and make the buying and ownership experience
gratifying.
I hope to continue my relationship with your organization by
having my vehicle serviced at your facility and when it is time
for a new vehicle to, again, consider one of your dealerships.

with Howie Reske, Kathy Smith, and Jedo Gonclaves at Herb Chambers
Infiniti of Boston. I recently purchased a new Honda Civic Coupe
and Howie, Kathy, and Jedo were all integral in creating a positive
experience for me. Unlike other dealerships, I was thankfully
not pressured; instead, because of the comfortable atmosphere,
I felt confident in the price we negotiated and the financing
package that Jedo helped me with. Kathy walked me through my
beautiful Honda and all its specifics. As always, she was such
a delight to talk to.
I want to applaud you for heaving such a great team at Herb
Chambers Infiniti of Boston. Due to the genuine customer service
and no pressure environment, Howie, Kathy, and Jedo helped make
this purchase a memorable and happy one. Also, your services
department is a major plus to have. Unfortunately, my front
passenger tire was slashed in just the second week, but your
Services Department helped changed this sad event to again a
positive one. Having my car washed and vacuumed inside without
any extra charge was something that brought me great happiness,
especially since I didn’t expect it!
All in all, you have a great team at Herb Chambers Infiniti
of Boston; and from my personal experience, Howie, Kathy, and
Jedo help make that team a superior one!
Best, Zelda =)

a few pricing and billing issues which she was able to immediately
help me out with. She stayed in constant contact and gave me

Good day, I wanted to let you know as I’m sure you already do,
that your service director of Auburn, Jeff Krasner is superior
at customer service. My new car failed inspection today due
to my plate having spray paint on it. My husband cleaned it
and after calling the service department and speaking with Jeff,
he apologized for the mishap and asked me to come back and get
my sticker. When I got there, he brought me in his office explained
the RMV’s policies and gave me a voucher for a free oil change.
Tiffany Schimmelmann was also very attentive and professional.
I have never had such great customer service at a car dealership.
I did my research online and looks like I made the right decision
to bring my business to you. Thank you!

Mr. Chambers To start off my wife and i went to succuci honda
to purchase two cars. My wife had her mind set on a vehicle
a 2010 honda pilot touring edition w/nav and rear dvd. Long
story short succuci lied to her and try to push her into a different
type of vehicle because he told us that no one would be able
to deliver that vehicle.
We decided to go to Herb Chambers
of seakonk. Thank the good lord we did. We got there and immediately
Bruce Stien took care of us. He had us in her car in no time.
Never did he push us in a different direction. We have been
back to herb chambers for all maintenance and have sent our
neighbors and friends to your dealership. The feeling that bruce
gives you there is of family. I truly believe he has to be the
greatest sales man I have ever had to deal with. Dealing with
him was more pleasurable than it was a pain, an experience i
have never had car shopping. Your service department there is
second to none. Absolutely phenomenal. Every time we go they
remember us, ask us about our girls and just treat us like family.
We will forever be loyal to Herb Chambers due to the service
we have been given at your dealership. There is much more to
the story but thanks to Herb Chambers of Seakonk it ends HAPPY!!!
Thank you Sir. v/r James Others that were great to us was the

Hi Herb I just wanted to comment on the very positive buying
experience we just had. Originally I was interested in purchasing
a new truck (I hadn’t even committed to a brand) but after much
discussion with Wayne Brodsky and Imad Benelkour, not only did
we buy our dream truck but also decided to lease a new Corolla
too. Now that’s salesmanship! Seriously, I had visited Boch
and Ira and can’t begin to tell you how unpleasant both of those
experiences were. Worse yet was with Madden Ford! I will be
posting negative comments about those guys on dealerater.com.
Chambers Toyota will get a thumbs up from each of us. Everyone
at that dealership was very friendly and courteous. Over the
weekend, we spent approximately 12 hours in total which wasn’t
fun but that was more the process than anyone’s fault. Our deal
was hitch free and we picked up both vehicles in great shape
before the delivery date…and despite a snowstorm. We have been
spreading the word about our positive
experience with your dealership and salespeople.
Good luck in the future and
Happy New Year. Les & Eileen

I have just returned from your Burlington location. I brought
my car in for 2 reasons, one I needed new wiper blades and two
I thought I needed new tires as I was having lots of trouble
in the snow. Much to my delight your wonderful service team
examined the tires and determined they only need to be rotated.
The back tires had more life to them so no need to replace.
I can only imagine what my experience would have been at a tire
retail store I’m sure I would have come away $500 poorer with
4 tires I didn’t need. As for the wiper blades, they replaced
the entire wiper arm at no charge since the entire thing had
to be replaced when I first purchased the care and the arms
had gone again.
So, thanks for great service!!!!!

I purchased a New 2008 F150 in April of 08 from the Braintree
dealership. A couple of weeks a go I was having lunch in Braintree
and this guy comes up to me and asks, “Is that your 150? and
did I sell it to you?” He did not, but he did remember the guy
who did sell it to me. There was a snow storm coming and I was
asking questions about putting a snow plow on the 150. Your
two “Ford” guys took the time to answer my questions, during
what I am assuming, was their lunch break. I thought that was
very nice, they were extremely knowledgeable. I will wait until
the factory warranty is up until I put the plow on. Thanks

December 30, 2009
Approximately 3 months ago my wife and I purchased our 4th Saturn
from Saturn of Warwick, and I must say that as always the staff
was GREAT! From Frank Merino, our salesman to Debra Gleavey
in
Finance, they worked so hard to make us happy and just made
the whole car buying experience fantastic. But I must say that
if it wasn’t for Ken Blowers who sold us our 1st Saturn 10 years
ago, who
knows where we would be today. It is because of the professional,
friendly and courteous staff that we keep coming back, as well
as referring others that we know to Saturn of Warwick. Mark
Goldstein should be proud of his team, as I am sure he is. It
is just sad to see Saturn go. Thankfully though the same familiar
faces are still there.
Since purchasing this new Vue it has been in for service several
times for warranty work and I must say, Pat, John and AJ in
Service, as well as the Service Techs, always make this experience
better. I can honestly say that we never leave their unhappy.
On a recent trip to the Service Department our Vue needed to
stay, so a courtesy vehicle was given to us. A couple of days
later we
went to pick up our Vue, and I can not say enough good things
about how our vehicle came back. Evidently it was parked under
a tree where birds reside and they made a mess of the vehicle,
so before
we picked up the Vue, John in Service had the vehicle reconditioned…It
looked better than showroom quality! It is because of this professionalism
that keeps us coming back! GREAT JOB!
Now even though Saturn is no longer, I know that I could never
buy another vehicle from another dealership and I will always
refer family and friends to Herb Chambers Warwick dealership
where they
can take advantage of their concierge service in car buying.
Once again, Great Job!
Sincerely,
Joe

Hi!
I’m a new customer to Herb Chambers Honda in Boston, and so
far I’ve been impressed by everyone I’ve met. Both Kathie Smith
and Howie Reske met my pricing needs and got me the car I wanted
in the
color I wanted. Kathie in particular was an outstanding sales
person, knowledgable, patient, and engaging. Both were friendly,
professional, and kept their cool, even when I got cold feet.
They
made sure to listen to my needs, deftly handled a rather difficult
situation, and in the end made the sale without any pressure.
These are great qualities, the last one especially, given today’s
economy.
Thank you for the great experience!

Dear Mr. Chambers,
My wife (Barbara) and I recently purchased an Audi Q5 from your
dealership in Burlington. I wanted to let you know that we have
had one of the best sales experiences ever! Our salesmen “Wayne
Altavilla” made the transaction a pleasant, minimum hassle experience.
He was personable, accommodating, and extremely knowledgeable.
In short, an outstanding representative for your organization.
He is such a good salesmen that he was able to sell us a Q5
without us having an opportunity to conduct a test drive or
even having our car in inventory. Now that is some selling!
I hope you
appreciate Mr. Altavilla’s outstanding qualities and recognize
the positive contributions that he is making at Audi of Burlington.
Wishing you a wonderful Holiday and Happy New Year, Fred & Barbara

This is just a quick comment
about my recent experience with Nate Piasta and Jillian McDermott
at the Herb Chambers Toyota Boston location. It’s refreshing
in this day and age, when everyone is
working overtime to make a buck to work two professionals that
actually looked out for what was best for my situation. In this
case buying out my lease was a better option than leasing a
new
vehicle. Let’s just say, the effect this ultimately has is that
in the near future we will be leasing a new Siena for my wife!
So it will result in a new sale as well!

Last Saturday, I brought our
Accord to Seekonk to get another key.
I was informed that the key was not in stock and was asked if
I could come back. Once the service advisor, Michelle Levesque,
realized that I had traveled approximately an hour from the
Cape and had
to get to Boston that afternoon, she provided exemplary service
so I would not have to come back.
She was sincerely apologetic that I was not asked by the service
rep to reschedule my appointment since the key was not in stock.
Once Michelle determined my needs, she then expedited obtaining
and
programming a duplicate.
Michelle reduced the cost and provided a key ring to acknowledge
my inconvenience. She turned a negative situation into a positive

Mr Chambers my son bought
his first new car 09 Challanger at your Danvers store last January.
I just purchased a used 07 Jeep last night at your Aurburn store.
The reason for email I used to be in
your business as a salesman, used car manager and general sales
manager and was successful but wanted a change and changed my
career into construction sales/manager that changed happened
25 years ago
now I am retired because of illness but that won’t stop me.
I went with my son to buy a new car I know the owner of a Dodge
store south of Boston he did business with me on the construction
side, I
tried to purchace a Jeep 6 years ago and last January could
not come together but felt I owed him first shot. So we went
on line he found the car he wanted at HC Danvers they were great
(sorry I
forget their names) remember talking to sales manager told I
live on the Cape my son has a trade told him what it was he
gave me a number site unseen got the deal done over the phone.
I know you
would rather deal in person but he understood we have long drive
to Danvers and he did not want to waste our time gave good deal
over the phone we appreciated that, drove up and came home in
my
son’s new Challanger. Auburn same thing salesman Jim Aldean
,I think sales mgr.Alex, and GM Dan and F.I guy all where great,
product knowlege is 20% how your treat people knowlege is 80%.Never
had
to use your service dept my no doubt I would be treated the
same. Dealing with people all my life as yourself if you prove
yourself and play on same field only expect the BEST and your
people at
Herb Chambers are just that. I feel I would be treated the same
at HC if I bought a $10,000 used car or a $200,000 Bentley .
I do know a profit has to made can’t imagine the cost just to
flic the light switch at your dealerships. So with that said
from what I’ve seen my other son senior at college will be buying
a car in a month and he will by at HC. Thanks for helping the
economy and yourself for having such great employees. Thank
you Henry

Brookline comments=This past
Saturday, I brought my new Honda Pilot to your collision center
in Braintree to get an estimate for removal of a series of scratches
on the left side of the vehicle.
When I arrived, Gene Kozash immediately came out of his office
and looked at my Pilot. After seeing the scratches, Gene said
that he thought that they probably could be “buffed out” and
that he
thought that I should try that before spending a substantial
amount of money to have the rear passenger door repainted. At
that point, Gene then said that if I had a few minutes he’d
have one of his
people “buff out” the scratches so I could see how it looked-at
no cost. In about ten minutes my Pilot was returned to me looking
as good as the day I drove it off the dealership lot. When I
offered
to make payment, Gene said that it was “no big deal” and that
there was no charge. I then tried to buy lunch for Gene and
the member of his staff who did the work on my car; but both
politely refused.
Needless to say, I was extremely pleased by the service I received
and I thought you should know what a great job Gene did. As
a result of Gene’s actions, I can assure you that I will think
of Herb Chambers first for any future service needs I might
have as well as when I look to buy my next car.
Best regards,

My husband and I are in our thirties but are told by everyone
we look about twenty. And also I am an Abercrombie snob so I
pay a lot of money for ripped clothing. My point is that when
we go to places were things are expensive we are always treated
rudely and ignored. Even when we were looking when we bought
our house. My husband and I make well over 150k. Tuesday my
husband totaled his car I found the Acura RSX on line called
up and discussed a good time to go see it.
When we got there the man
I spoke to over the phone came down and said he would get a
sales rep. Right away Anthony Carlino came over introduced himself
offered us coffee and then took us into his office. I told him
the car we wanted and he said ok but he wanted us to learn a
little history about Herb Chambers. He then proceeded to get
the portfolio for the car. We looked it over, he gave us a tour
of the dealership and then let us take the car for a drive.
I want you to know that after spending a little time with Anthony
I didn’t feel like I was talking to a salesman but rather a
new friend.
I could make this comment
about five pages long. However I think the most important thing
that needs to be said is that Anthony was awesome he made what
had been a very stressful time easier he went out of his way
for us. To sum it up Anthony was awesome and I would recommend

provided to me in purchasing my new automobile at your dealership
was
exemplary and a very satisfying experience. I truly felt that
your personal worked with me and not against in negotiating
a deal that I believe was fair to both you and myself. The salesman
I worked
with was Bandoh Osei. He was very courtesy and profession. He
admitted that he was new to this position and was very honest
when he did not the answer to the question that I asked him
and then went
to get the answer. In no way was he pressuring and wanted to
make sure that all of my inquiries were satisfied. I negotiated
the price of the vehicle and my trade in value with your sales
manager,
Jedd. He too was very polite, courteous and professional. I
truly felt that he wanted to reasonable satisfy me in any way
that he could. I did not feel any adversity in my negotiations
as I felt
with other dealerships in the past. After the deal was completed,
Bandoh introduced me the service manager and general manager.
Both managers took the time to tell me about how the “customer
comes
first” and their open door policy if I needed to speak to them.
I am eagerly anticipating delivery of my vehicle and continuing

Dear Mr. Chambers,
I write this note to you to express my great appreciation of
how I was treated at your Toyota dealership in Auburn. To start
with, I haven’t written many notes, of this nature, along the
way and I’ve never written to a dealership. My very positive
impression, and subsequent great appreciation, starts with salesperson
Mr. Bryan Lavigne. I found Mr. Lavigne to be professional, patient,
honest and knowledgeable salesperson who greatly listened to
my every word and reacted in a manner that truly reflected “the
customer is #1?. I could not be happier with him, your dealership
in Auburn, the manager, Mr. Chuck Wolfe and of course the price
and truck I received. I wanted you to know that each time I
consider a new vehicle I will turn to your dealership first.
I will look to Mr. Lavigne first, of course, and feel somewhat

I wanted to send a note to say how good the service I have received
consistently at this dealership has been. I have purchased my
3rd car from Westborough Ford and all of my experiences have
been terrific but I just brought my car in for some warranty
service and Carrie Hoffman could not have been better. Not just
Carrie really, but everyone that I have been in contact with.
I am a sales rep on the road and the Service Dept has always
been so good at helping me stay productive in my job while getting
my car serviced. The communication is always excellent and there
is a true commitment to ensuring I am completely satisfied.
I work for a service oriented company and know how much it takes
to truly provide excellent customer service and I can say that
Westborough Ford is committed, and it shows. Thank you to all
the people that make what could be a pain, a joy. Best regards
Bill

To whom it may concern, First, I will apologize for the length
of this, but I feel it’s all relative info. I have also sent
a similar e-mail to ford motors.
I have been a Ford customer for many years and have leased my
last few cars as well as helped my son purchase his first brand
new ford fusion for you last year. I’ve bought/leased a lot
of cars in my life some experiences were good, some not so good.
I’ve walked out of dealerships when sales people have tried
to take advantage of me or insulted my intelligence. Well, I
thought you would be very interested to hear about my last experience
about a week ago at your Braintree store. My lease on my 07
explorer is about to end and I’ve been looking for my next car/suv.
I’ve been everywhere and looked extensively on line at all the
new makes and models by the top makers. I’ve done pretty well
this past year, despite the economy, and decided I would treat
myself to a real splurge, a BMW. (sorry not your store) So I
struck a deal on a new BMW and was to go to the dealership to
sign my life away, but I still had a couple of payments left
on the explorer, so I called
to see if your Braintree store would be interested in buying
it? They were and asked me to come down so they could look at
it. Ok, so I did…Of course I expected them to try to sell me
something when I got there, but it was a done deal to me. When
I arrived Neil came out to greet me, took some info and consulted
a couple of others. While I was waiting for them to appraise
my car, (and apparently run me for credit! LOL) he asked what
I was getting next and I told him a BMW. Naturally he asked
which of your stores I went with and I sheepishly admitted it
wasn’t..(sorry) and then asked if I had seen the new Taurus,
I said I hadn’t but my son mentioned they were nice, But I bought
a BMW.. So then here comes the sales kid, and again, having
been here, done this MANY times, here we go, this is where they
try to talk me out of it and, OH great, the new kid!
Anyway, Will Smith came over
and introduced himself and asked if I wanted to see the Taurus.
Again, I said I
just bought a BMW, but thanks, just here to see if you want
to buy my eddie bauer. Anyway, we made small talk for a few
minutes and before I knew it, Will had implanted all I needed
to know about the Taurus and I was out for a ride! All the while
saying ” I Just bought a BMW”!!! nobody heard me…. what they
did hear was that I hadn’t signed for it yet! So, next thing
I know, Eric Digirolamo, the sales manager came over to chat…I
again said, very nice, but I’m “buying” a BMW. So after Neil
FINALLY comes back and says they want the explorer and I have
equity in it, and Eric and Will are telling me how fabulous
the Taurus is, I start thinking a little. Do I really want the
BMW??? cause I’m really liking this, but still saying I’m buying
the BMW. So I finally admit it,
OK, I like the car.. (big mistake) Now, Eric, Paul Chambers
and (someone else I believe) are now on the phone trying to
locate a Taurus with AWD for me to try out, because I know they
drive differently. I said, “guys, I appreciate the help, but
I really do like my beamer, I deserve my beamer! But I do like
this too.
I feel like I need to now
go test drive the BMW again to be sure and I feel bad as they
are waiting for me to come down to sign”. “No Problem” I hear..
Paul suggests from his corner of the room that Will should drive
me into your Boston store to re-test the BMW! (who does this!?!?!)
well traffic was really bad so I told him to turn around and
head back to Braintree. When we got back, the manager from your
boston store (Mohammed, I believe?) was on the phone telling
me he could do better in price, etc, etc.. “Ok, so tell me,
I said and I still need to drive one again to be sure”. This
is where I was blown away! They all collectively arranged
to bring TO ME, AT MY OFFICE both the now located AWD Taurus
and a BMW the next morning so I could compare side-by side and
not have to go to the other dealership till I was sure. WHO
DOES THIS?
I will tell you, I was very impressed. Very smart guys, very
smart…not only did you go out of the way to save a deal for
your stores, (either one)but you also did a very smart thing
in ” If I don’t have it, I’ll get it for you and bring it to
you!” and won my loyalty for going the extra 10 miles. Now,
while all this is going on, I have to say me and my sales guy,
Will Smith had a lot of bonding time! He is a great salesman,
very unassuming, down to earth and knowledgeable. Didn’t treat
me like a Silly women (for which I would have walked, take note
guys, just because the shirt if full, doesn’t mean the head
is empty!) but he was very respectful, no pressure, still very
attentive despite my declarations of buying the BMW. Very likable
guy. They all were, I have to say you have a very good team
down there.
Now, to wrap this up, if I’m
giving up a BEAMER for a FORD, it’s gonna be loaded! And sadly,
you don’t have any.. But they were more than happy to order
it for me but I’d have to wait..:( I know I was a bit pushy
on the price that I was willing to pay, but hey, sorry guys,
I’m in sales too and you did talk me out of my BMW! (kinda)
I assume I did ok on the price, because Scott the GM called
to talk to me too!?!? Needless to say, I went with the Taurus
(still can’t believe it either) and I got the deal I wanted…
Now, if someone can just call Ford and
ask them to put a rush on my new Taurus (fully loaded) I’d appreciate
it! :)
I have to say, in all the years, all the cars, this has been
the most interesting experience to date! You have a top-shelf
team and I wanted you to know. Too often people only take time
to voice complaints and when a team goes this far above and
beyond, it should be known! Thanks to Will, Eric, Paul, Neil,
and Scott Braintree store! (oh, by the way, a few co-workers
may be down to visit soon after all that attention you showed
to me!)
Thanks so much!

This is a story that begins badly but has a very happy ending.
Two weeks ago my husband and I went into Herb Chambers Honda
in Boston with every intention of walking out with a leased
2009 CR-V.
After a series of employee mistakes/unprofessional behavior
we left vowing never to return. That day I wrote an email to
Herb (Talk to Herb) just to blow off steam but never actually
expecting a response. Then the General Manager, Howie Reske,
called me and said “Thank-you for taking the time to write and
I apologize for your bad experience. What can we do to bring
you back to Herb Chambers.” I didn’t think there was much he
could do. After listening to my story he said if “I offer you
this… would that get you back and leave you with a good feeling
about Herb Chambers Honda?”
Well, he won me over and we
came back and leased our car there. An apology is powerful thing
and for him to reach out to try to win back a customer is remarkable.
You are lucky to have such an amazing G.M. We are telling everyone
we know about the GREAT experience we had at Herb Chambers Honda
rather than the bad one. And that is all because of Howie Reske.
Thank-you. Cissy
Dear Herb,
Just a quick note to say that I really enjoyed the buying experience
at Herb Chambers in Boston and specifically, Mr. Flavio Fonseca
our sales person. he was professional in every way and in one
case, drove out to our home in Westford to deliver some last
minute documentation. We were surprise and impressed at this
level of service.
In a post sales situation, we were worried about some ticking
noises coming from our steering wheel Flavio took this information
directly to service who arranged for a quick visit and even
quicker
remedy to all of our concerns.
Please let Flavio know how much we appreciated his loyalty to
the sale. Your organization clearly gets the message on keeping
their customers happy.
Best Regards,
Dan

Dear Herb,
I wanted to write to recognize an outstanding dealership and
two outstanding employees : James K. Pope, Manager of Service
and Mike Yokum, Master Technician. I purchased a used Toyota
Avalon 30 days
ago for my wife and while driving myself, noticed a small ticking
as I turned the steering wheel. In researching the condition
on the web, I found that there was a recall on certain vehicles
(VIN-based) for steering column replacement and also learned
of 2 other recall situations for air bags and floor mats and
one non-recall situation concerning a potential oil leak (this
oil leak could cause catastrophic damage if it occurred on the
highway). I provided this information to James Pope on my visit
to Herb Chambers. James had the car tested and then told me
that all four issues
would be attended to at “no cost”. James had Master Technician,
Mike Yokum, do the work. James and Mike performed a full replacement
of all the concerned parts and/or recall directives. I was also
provided a loaner vehicle for the day. At 3 PM the car was complete
and all issues had been completed, again at no charge.
This was superlative service and I hope James and Mike will
receive some recognition for their professionalism. I am a present
and future customer of Herb Chambers.
Best Regards, Dan

Worst experience I have ever had with a Herb Chambers dealership.
Purchased a Range Rover Autobiography last week registered to
my business in NH. After the first day I noticed there was no
inspection sticker on the vehicle. I opened the glove compartment
to search for the registration only to find they had forgotten
to give that to me.
I had to call and request the registration 2 times only to be
told it had been overnighted to my business address the day
before. We are not fully relocated to that address, which I
could have explained had they taken the time to call me. When
asked why they did not contact me when they realized they forgot
to give me the registration, Oliver replied, “Good question.
Anyway the vehicle is registered.”
It is not customary for Herb Chambers to expect their customers
to be responsible for the inspection of their brand new vehicles.
My husband, Michael, and I have been purchasing BMW’s and Land
Rovers from Herb Chambers for many years. Given this level of
service, we will be going elsewhere in the future.

at area Toyota dealerships. I suggested we go to your dealership,
which is where I purchased my 2007Honda Pilot (which by the
way, I love it). We arrive there and we were greeted by Andrew

We looked at the 2009 Honda
Ridgelines available, and decided to test drive one. My husband
loved it. Andrew was great, he answered all our questions regarding
the vehicle, and when it came time to make a financial decision
he was really able to work with us and our idea of how much
we wanted to pay. He actually made purchasing this vehicle a
comfortable experience, and we had fun doing it.
The finance person that we
saw was also great, he took us through the finance part, explained
other finance programs in debt and helped us understand the
options that we had available to us. Will I buy at Herb Chambers
again, probably you have a great staff.

unavailable, he called the Connecticut dealer several times
with ideas on how to expedite getting the part. He called me
daily to check up on the status of my car and whether I felt

but since I was his client that didn’t matter. He treated me
like I was his best and only customer. I will continue to purchase

that just once I could be treated with the focus, respect, and

of a new Land Rover LR2, and it was and is a pleasure to do
business with the staff at Land Rover of Sudbury.
I am one of those people who have a passion for cars and I usually
trade every 2 years or so and over the years I have bought quite
a few cars including a car from one of your other dealerships
and
I have never felt the need to express my satisfaction with any
of those dealers but Land Rover of Sudbury turned a negative
situation for me into a very positive one by giving me a very
good trade
in allowance and a very good price on my new Land Rover LR2.
Matt Phillips was my sales guide and he was very
knowledgeable
about the car and I hope he gets Sales Guide of the Month Award
or some form of recognition.
I’m looking forward to doing business with Land Rover of Sudbury
or one of your other dealerships in the future.
Sincerely,
Dave
PS: I have a friend who may be looking for an LR2 or a Mercedes
GLK, I’ll bring her to your dealers myself.

I have a 2007 Chevy HHR which I love. I had some warning lights
on my instrument panel. I went to the Danvers Service Dept.
and was helped by John Adams “Jack”. My car ended up having
serious
problems and was at the shop almost a month. Jack kept in constant
contact with me letting me know what was happening. On one occasion,
when I stopped by the shop, he even showed me my engine which
had been removed and showed me in detail what was being done.
He offered me the use of a rental which I ultimately used for
a week while we were waiting for the delivery of a new head.
Bottom line:
Jack was really great during a difficult situation. Herb Chambers
should be proud to have Service Mgrs like Jack on the payroll.

Hi Herb,
I would like to compliment Richard Harley, the parts manager
at your Saab dealership in Boston.
I have a 2008 9-5 wagon and recently purchased a “lifting bike
rack” from the dealership. It has been a drawn-out ordeal to
get the thing to work, but Richard has been extremely diligent,
accommodating, and ultimately successful. We spent many minutes
both over the phone and in person trying to figure out this
fancy-shmancy bike rack. It was actually a rather fun puzzle,
in which
Richard was fully immersed. He spent a lot of time and effort
making it work out to my satisfaction. His crew, several of
whom I met, were also engaged in the project and I enjoyed my
interaction
with them as well.
Customer service in general has been excellent.
Thanks, Steve Tags: Parts / Richard Harley / Saab Service at

Although I live in NJ and I purchased my Audi (I have a few
Audi’s) in NJ, I actually work for a company in Burlington,
just up the street from your dealership, so I do bring my car
in for service
there while I am in the office here in Burlington.
I stopped in yesterday to ask about adjusting my sunroof on
my 2008 RS 4 (great car, by the way) and Eric Thorner took care
of me. He very helpful, fit me in to look at the car immediately,
fixed
the problem very quickly and returned the car washed and vacuumed,
and didn’t charge me (even though the warranty resides with
my dealer in NJ).
Very professional service and a great new facility. It was the
first time I have been in your new locale. When the time comes
to look to purchase another new Audi (you have a very nice R8
in the
showroom, but I’m not ready yet for that), I’ll have to shop
up here as well.
Thanks again,

Dear Herb
I have just leased a new 2009 Porsche 911 Carerra 4S (122,000$)
from your Porsche Sales Manager, Peter Wienstroer. I was all
set to purchase either a 2010 Jaguar XKR or an Aston Martin
DB9 but
thought I should check out Porsche first. Peter was terrific.
I have never met a sales person more knowledgeable about a product.
I am an inventor and a Professor of Mechanical Engineering at
MIT
and so like to understand in detail any technology I am buying.
Peter was able to answer even the most detailed mechanical questions
instantly and even knew the answers to my many questions in
metric units. He immediately realized that the new PDK gear
box in the 911 would be of great interest to me and indeed after
a test drive there was no way I could consider either a XKR
or a DB9 with
their old “tiptronic” like transmissions. Peter is easily the
most impressive car sales person I have ever met. Good work
for having someone of Peter’s caliber on your staff.

The truck has never run better. Frank, service advisor, kept

I’ll be sure to recommend your dealership to all I know. I am

Dear Sir, I purchased my first BMW on 1997 at dealership in
Natick and i was so satisfied that couple of months ago i came
from NJ (i used to live in Randolph) to purchase a CPO car.
Sales man Jimmy
K and accountant Dan Stanley made this purchase an easy transaction
and were so helpful and caring. Since i have been at your dealership
i assumed all dealership are the same and did i make a
mistake. The dealership in NJ DiSimmone is not even close to
your dealership. They are not happy that i bought my car from
Natick . When i purchased my car Dan told me to purchase wheel
and tire
coverage and i did. Few days ago i had a nail in my tire and
Dan saved me $500 by having the coverage. Today i had to get
my BMW ASSIST activated and they told me i have to take my car
to BOSTON to
activate it?? I called Jimmy K and Dan today and told them about
what has happened. Jimmy K called them and they are activating
it in here. I would like to let you know that this two gentleman
have
been helping me and i am thankful to them. By the way i found
out the day that i picked up my car It was jimmy’s day off but
he showed up on Thursday to take care of me anyway.
Please let them know or forward this Email to them that i appreciate
their help and they should be commented for their services.
My car is very sharp and get compliment about it at all times,
you
have one loyal customer.

I am writing to tell you about my recent experience at your
Infiniti dealership in Westborough. To say that it was the most
courteous, accommodating, professional and friendly service
that I have
ever received from any car dealership is an understatement.
Paul McDermott and Terry McCormack treated me as if I was their
most important customer. My daughter’s car, a 1996 Infiniti,
was brought
into the Westborough dealership for repairs. A part needed to
be ordered, so the car was not ready when expected. I was given
an Infiniti G37 as a loaner car in place of her 1996 Infiniti.
I
couldn’t believe it! I was hoping they would have trouble repairing
her car so I could keep your car longer which, of course, did
not happen. Her car was ready on time and at the repair cost
that
was quoted to us. If I could afford to buy a G37, I certainly
would. The car was amazing. I’ve told all my friends, family
and co-workers that your Westborough dealership is truly one
of a kind as
is the G37.

We are writing this email in appreciation of what Bill Murphy
has done for us at the Audi dealership in Burlington. We have
dealt with many dealers in our lifetime but no one has impressed
us as
much as Bill Murphy. Most dealers are only nice to customers
until they make their sale and get the paperwork signed. However,
Bill stands apart from this in many aspects.
We came into the Audi dealership thinking of buying a car. Within
an hour - we were sold on our Audi S4. Bill worked with us to
get us the 2-year certification and ensured that the car was
given to
us in top notch condition. Even after he made the sale, he called
us to ensure the car was running fine and spoke to us like a
true friend. He wasn’t just a salesperson he is remarkable.
Definitely, after dealing with Bill Murphy we will recommend
your dealership to our family and friends. Bill has outstanding
customer service skills and most importantly treats customers
with
honestly and respect, which we truly appreciated from him.
Please convey our thanks to Bill Murphy.
Thank you,

A quick note to say what a pleasure it was to work with Jason
O’Brien and his staff to purchase my new Saab. For Scott DeCastro,
it was his first deal, so he was assisted by Alex Gathii. Normally,
I
would consider being subjected to new employee training an inconvenience,
but that was not the case. Everyone, from the receptionists
to Justin the finance guy to the random people who were involved
(including the guy from service who had to move my car a million
times because I parked it in a BMW space) was gracious and courteous
and helpful. I was reluctant to buy a car from a mega-dealer,
but the people at HC Saab completely changed my thinking.

Hi Mr. Chambers, I am a customer of yours in the Lexus dealership
in Walpole. We took my sister in law to your Chrysler Jeep dealership
in Danvers last weekend and had Mr. Mark Cunningham as our
sales associate. Actually, we had been to a few dealerships
before landing at Chambers and had a very bad experience at
Ira Toyota so when we got to Chambers I sent her with her sister
to look at
the used car inventory and I went inside and I listened and
looked around and I picked out Mr. Cunningham for Janice. He
was very professional but congenial; he was a great listener
which is a very
important characteristic of a good sales person. He was able
to get from her what it was she was looking for in a used car
and he was the first sales person she was truthful with about
how much she
could spend on a vehicle. This has been a very hard time for
her giving up her leased vehicle and pick out a used vehicle
with a lot of miles on it is basically her lot for now. I want
to thank you
and thank Mark Cunningham for the professionalism that your
dealerships bring to the public when shopping for cars is usually
an exercise in dodging sharks and bombs and the trust level
very low in
the industry. Thank you Mark for treating Janice with the respect
she deserves. Sandra

I brought my 2008 Infiniti G35x in for a 15K routine service
and dealing with a recall last week. While it was in, I asked
for the service department to check the alignment because the
handling felt
slightly off to me (I’m probably a bit picky because I love
this car for its performance - and I love driving).
The car now handles flawlessly! We’re talking a very small correction
to the alignment, but it was obviously done precisely. Plus
the beautiful job cleaning the car was beyond the simple vacuum
that
I had anticipated. A beautiful car with perfect handling is
just plain fun! This is the kind of experience that will bring
my family back to your dealership for our next car! Thanks to
the guys who

Sir:
This is in follow up to a phone call I also made to your office
yesterday.
I simply want to convey what a pleasurable experience I just
had in the purchase of an extended warranty and dealings with
Mr. Nate Piasta at your Boston Toyota location. I am usually
the first to
complain when things don't go well but this is positive feedback…
Not being your customer and simply shopping around for best
value for an extended Toyota warranty, I contact your Boston
location. Before calling Nate, I went to the dealer were I purchased
my car,
called folks listed on Prius online Blogs and then called around
to high volume dealers. Then, I spoke with Nate, who offered
me an excellent price and made the entire transaction easy.
Just as FYI, based upon this experience, I will likely make
the trip up to Boston when it comes time to purchase the 2010
Prius. What irks me is the many other dealers that even make
customers haggle
even when it come to selling a warranty? Nate made it simple
by providing me a fair price and ability to purchase over the
phone/fax.

I just purchased a 2009 Infiniti G37 from your new dealership
in Westborough, MA. It is a fabulous car and I am absolutely
thrilled with how it drives.
The facility at Westborough is beautifully designed.
All of the people that I encountered were extremely professional.
Anthony began the process by providing me with all the information
about the features of the Infiniti that would help me make a
decision. He was extremely knowledgeable about the Infiniti but
did not
pressure me in any fashion.
Paul stepped in to help with negotiating an agreement on the
price of the vehicle. I had checked the pricing with Edmunds.com
and felt as if the negotiated price was very fair.
The next day I returned to decide on the color and discussed
financing and various package options with Rich.
Finally I returned on Friday for my final inspection of the
car and explanation of all the bells & whiistles. Anthony did
a superb job in familiarizing me with my new vehicle.
On Monday he drove to my office picked up the car, got it registered
and inspected and then returned it to me. The service was wonderful.
I have been talking about your organization all weekend.

After driving it for awhile I thought of my experience with

It was second to none.
Replacing the missing key, fixing the brakes, all made the
difference.
When one of your people said they would be there, they where.
When one of your people said they would do something, They did
it!
No nonsense. A good used vehicle at a reasonable price!
When I decide its time for a New car
I plan on seeing George Belivich. His honesty and integrity
was well received and appreciated.
He went the extra step even with a lower priced used vehicle.
It is unusual in todays world to find a decent car dealership.
I may not buy a caddy, but I am sure George can fix me up with
the right Herb Chambers dealership.
I drove down from Mass and I am glad I did.

Dear Mr. Chambers,
Last week, I purchased my fifth Mercedes at Foreign Motors West
in Natick. In August of 2008, I convinced my husband, who swore
he would never drive a Mercedes, to purchase a Mercedes SUV.
So, in
the past nine months, we have purchased two Mercedes from your
Natick dealership. I thought you might be interested why we
keep going back there. There is only ONE reason why and that
reason is
Ken Black! Ken is the most professional and sincere person that
I have ever met. I know that no matter what happens to my car,
I can pick up the phone and Ken will take care of me. The honesty,
sincerity, and genuine caring for your customers is what Ken
displays at all times. I can’t tell you how important it is
for me to feel safe in my car and how much it means to me that
I know Ken
will always do what is right for me and my family.
I know that more often than not you only hear about the things
that customers feel need to be improved. I wanted to be sure
to give you positive feedback and to give credit where it is
immensely
deserved. Last week, before I even went over to Foreign Motors
West, I called Ken. He was on vacation so I left a message for
him to call me when he got back in the office. Within 30 minutes
of
leaving that message, Ken called me back! You are so lucky to
have such a dedicated employee and one that is checking his
messages while on vacation. As you know, dedicated employees
are very hard
to find!
I always comment about Ken in the Service Customer Satisfaction
Surveys that I receive but I am never sure that he gets the
credit and recognition that he deserves. Please recognize Ken
and let him
know how much he is truly appreciated. If it weren’t for Ken,
I would not have purchased my last four vehicles at Foreign
Motors West and I certainly would not have purchased two in
the last nine
months.
Thank you for taking the time to recognize Ken for all his hard
work and dedication.
Best Regards,
Rosemary

Herb:
I wanted you to know about the wonderful experience I had in
buying a new Ford Flex lat week.
In today’s world, where “good enough” seems to be the norm,
and bad experiences seem to be the most remembered, I wanted
to call your attention to a degree of excellence and professionalism
that is
sadly unexpected these days.
The sales person that helped me was George Asare in your Westborough
Ford Dealership. He was patient, courteous, helpful, professional,
and above all, a true gentleman.
Sure, I was pleasantly surprised by the improvements in quality
and features that Ford has achieved, as well as the great staff
you have on hand in the Westborough dealership. And this is
the second
vehicle with a Herb Chambers label on the back, so needless
to say I’m a big fan of the guiding principles you’ve put in
place for your organization. But working with George was a real
pleasure.
George helped to make sure we got exactly what we wanted in
our new car, answered our questions straightforwardly and honestly,
and helped to make the whole process go very smoothly.
The difference maker with George was more about how he accomplished
these things with elegant dignity, with calm and gentle enthusiasm,
and above all by listening and understanding what was
important to us.
Anytime you get a new car it’s exciting everyone wants to hear
about it. I haven’t hesitated in telling everyone to Go see
George.
And finally, a thank you to you Herb it’s clear that you have
always put your customers first, and it’s also clear that you
believe that the best way to accomplish that is with the highest
quality
people.
Thank George for me the next time you see him.
All the best. Tags: Ford Flex / George Asare / Sales / Westborough

I recently bought a Smart Car from your dealership and had it
on the road for about a month when I experienced a strange problem.
I was unable to move the shift from drive to any other gear.
I
panicked and called the service department. I was told that
you close at 7 so if I could get it in by then they would help
me out right away. It was about 5:30 and I was in Waltham so
I wasn’t
very worried. Then I hit an amazing amount of traffic and ended
up getting there just as you were about to close the doors.
Nathan Haugh, one of your service consultants listened to my
issue,
called the Smart technician, who had already gone, and fixed
my problem himself in about 15 minutes.
I am very impressed by Nathan’s commitment to service and the
dealership’s commitment as well to support employees like Nathan
who are willing to go the extra mile to help a customer in need.
I
am very happy that I chose to do business with you and I can
assure you that I will do all my future auto purchases through
one of your dealerships.
Keep up the good work! -Sue Kishani Westborough, MA Categories:

Hello Mr. Chambers
I am very happy to write to you regarding the dealership that
I visit to take care of my car-the Westborough Honda dealership.
Mr. Abdul Khalid sold my husband and I, two new vehicles last
year.
I purchased a 2009 Honda Accord and my husband Kevin, a Honda
Pilot. We were both very happy with Mr. Khalid and will readily
recommend him to more potential customers. Mr. Khalid was very
helpful
and went out of his way to provide both of us with information
and get vehicles we both enjoy driving.
I never thought I’ll see the day when I would say, ” I love
my Honda.
I feel I am being unfaithful to my Audi TT”. Mr. Khalid did
a great job of finding a car that fitted my travels.
I am also very happy about other personnel as well.
Mr. Tom Van Fechtmann, the manager for the store from my first
visit, made me feel welcomed. He and other staff members collectively
made Honda an easy place to visit and get my car serviced and
cared for. My car had a small issue that came up, and Mr. Van
Fetchtmann went out on a limb to fix the issue. I was very impressed
by his commitment to provide service excellence.
Today, Mr. Allon Swift, much like his name, got me in and out
of the dealership after grade B type service on my Accord.
Overall, I am very happy regarding the service that is provided
at the Westborough location. I have found that the personnel
at the dealership to be friendly, efficient, provides quality
work and to
be extremely professional.
Thank you.
Kishani

I am writing to commend Herb Chambers Honda of Boston for a
customer-friendly service policy.
I bought my past two Hondas there, and had a very good experience
each time.
Service visits have been efficient and friendly.
A few years ago, the cable on the door to my gas tank broke,
and HC fixed it under the warranty.
Recently, the cable broke again (through no abuse or misuse,
clearly a defective part).
I brought the car in today to have it repaired. I received a
quote of $220 to repair it. This didn’t sound right, since I
had just had it fixed a few years ago and it was already broken
again. I
asked if HC could back this repair, since I am a loyal HC customer.
I was told that HC would cover 75% of the cost of the repair,
leaving me responsible for only 25%. This seemed fair to me,
and now
the repair has been done.
When I told a friend about this (she already knows what a good
experience I had buying my last two cars from HC), she said
she would buy her next car there.
Your willingness to work with your customers in order to make
sure they are satisfied is what keeps me coming back, and recommending
you to my friends.
Thank you.

Hello!
I must admit that I was surprised to hear from Ken Black within
a few hours of sending off my email, and even more surprised
by his response. He was professional, not at all defensive or
accusatory, gave a clear summary of what he felt might have
occurred, and offered an $800 service credit that I was happy
to accept.
My father bought his first Mercedes from Foreign Motors West
years ago, and my extended family continued to buy and service
cars there for many years. When I heard that Chambers had bought
the
franchise, I was somewhat concerned — my impression was that
customer satisfaction for Chambers dealers could be most generously
described as “mixed.” But I our experience has been excellent.
The
service department is polite and efficient, and the response
to my complaint was immediate and helpful. I would not hesitate
to recommend FMW to anyone looking for a Mercedes/BMW dealership.
I
will also comment on the dealerrater.com website about this
experience.
Thank you for your help in resolving this matter.

I have taken our Mercedes C230 to the Natick service department
ever since it was passed along to us by my mother-in-law. I
have been impressed with the efficiency and courtesy of everyone
I have
come in contact with there and, until recently, have been very
satisfied with the work that has been done.
Earlier this week while I was out of town, my husband heard
and felt the loud thump-thump-thump that signals brake problems.
The sound was so loud that he feared driving the car any distance,
and so he took it into our local mechanic for a look. He was
not surprised to hear that the car needed all pads and rotors
replaced and authorized the work.
He told me this when I returned home. I had a memory that similar
work had been done recently, and when I looked at our service
records I found that you had replaced all four brake pads and
rotors on November 20, 2008 at a cost of $1207.98. I called
the local mechanic who did the most recent replacement to ask
if he noticed anything unusual. He believed that the at the
last
service the pads had been replaced, but it was his opinion that
the rotors had not been replaced in some time. I have asked
him to keep the parts he replaced should you wish to examine
them.
I cannot be certain what caused the pads and rotors to fail
in less than four months and less than 2000 miles. But I am
certain that they failed, and that this should not happen in
such a
short time. In a perfect world, I hope to be reimbursed for
the costs of this most recent replacement. At the very least,
I hope you will provide compensation in the form of a service
department credit for the failed brake job done on November
20.
Please feel free to contact me if you would like further information
or if you would like me to provide the defective parts.
Sincerely,
Lynda

Mr. Chambers,
I am writing to you in regards to an outstanding service experience
I had with the service department at Saturn of Warwick and,
in particular, with Mr. A.J ( I regretfully never got his last
name).
In lieu of a frustrating (for all concerned I am sure) service
situation, A.J handled himself with calm, professionalism, courteousness
and a smile. He went above and beyond to resolve my issue and
ensure total customer satisfaction.
I realize that it can be difficult, Mr. Chambers, to recognize
individual efforts within a large company such as yours. It
is my hope that this letter will bring to light the merits of
A.J. at
Saturn of Warwick. He truly is an asset and a positive representative
of your company. In times where poor customer service tends
to be the norm, A.J, and your Saturn of Warwick dealership,
is a
breath of fresh air and a pleasure to deal with.
Sincerely,
Richard

Thank you for your very quick response back to my complaint.
I am amazed at how seriously you take customer service. Morgan
at Herb Chambers Honda of Boston got back to me right away and
addressed
my problems and concerns. He told me he is taking care of things
immediately and overnighting a check to the warranty company.
He also took the time to explain my loan to me again, which
was very
helpful. I appreciated his quick follow-up and the explanation
for the lapse in canceling my warranty, but am still disappointed
that the lapse occurred in the first place.

I have to say I have been very unhappy with the customer service
coming from the financial department of the Honda Boston location.
First, I felt strong-armed into buying an extended warranty,
which
was presented to me in misleading terms. I cancelled it the
following day, and signed a form to that effect when I picked
up the car two weeks later. Now, nearly two months after I cancelled
that
warranty, I find out that Herb Chambers Honda Boston never cancelled
the warranty.
I had to find this out from the lien holder, who I had to call
because I never got my first payment stub. I find out from the
lien holder that the reason I never got my payment stub was because
they
never got a mailing address, phone number, or email address
for me from the dealership. When I put in a call and e-mail
to the financial guy at Herb Chambers Honda Boston to find out
why the
warranty wasn’t cancelled and my information not given to the
lien holder, I NEVER got a return call or email…for three days!
I finally called again and surprisingly got hold of the guy
in person,
who “didn’t know why the warranty never got cancelled.”
I have found the whole experience disappointing and unacceptable.
I now have to keep calling the lienholder to make sure they
got a check for the warranty amount — it is not my responsibility
to be
constantly checking up on Honda Boston to make sure they do
their job, but unfortunately I find myself in that position.

Dear Mr. Chambers:
I wrote to you the other day about a confusion that arose over
options included with a 2009 Honda VP-DX.
As you suggested, we talked with the management team at the
dealership and with Ron Alvarez, the sales associate who handled
the transaction. I am pleased to report that the issue was handled
efficiently, with understanding and more important, equitably
for all involved.
I single out Ron Alvarez because he was the face of your dealership
to us. He handled the entire transaction with a great deal of
professionalism, he was ever gracious in working out what turned
out
to be some minor kinks and most of all he was unflappable and
ever cheerful in the whole process. He went out of his way in
a manner I would not have expected.
Thank you all for making purchasing a new car as about as enjoyable
as you can make it. You have earned our continued relationship.
Sincerely,
Michael and Karen

Thank you for your response. I met with Howie and the sales

it.

Dear Mr. Chambers:
My spouse and I bought a 2009 Honda VP on Monday this week.
We are both very dissatisfied, and it stems from what we believe
to be a material misrepresentation of the car and its features
by both
the salesman and his manager. We hope to work out an equitable
solution before considering other options.
I will be going back to the dealership today with the hope to
resolving our dissatisfaction.

Dear Mr. Chambers:
I just wanted to share with you the wonderful experience I hade
in purchasing my previously owned 2005 E500 Mercedes Benz from
Emilio Locilento in your Danvers location. Emilio went above
and
beyond to accommodate me. I originally saw the car listed on
your website and it was in your Burlington location. Emilio
made sure that the car was brought to me at the Danvers location
so I could
test drive it. Needless to say I purchased the car without hesitation.
In all the years that I have purchased cars (and I have purchased
quite a few) I have never had such an easy and stress free
experience. Emilio treated my like a member of his family and
for that I am truly grateful. You need more people like Emilio
Locilento to be on your team!

Dear Herb, I was completely overwhelmed by the positive experience
that I had in buying a previously owned Pocsche Cayenne Turbo
from your company. The ‘05 that caught my eye on-line was at
your
BMW Boston dealership due to its recent trade-in. I initially
contacted Joe Santamaria from your Foriegn Motors West facility.
(I had purchased a Mercedes Wagon from Joe in 1998 and I was
delighted to learn that he was still with your company). Joe
used your “Concierge” program and quickly got me in touch with
Paul McDaniels at your Commonwealth Ave facility.
I have to admit that I arrived with a chip on my shoulders expecting
a bad experience. When I met with Paul, he totally made me feel
at ease and comfortable … as if we were old friends. Paul
walked me over to Client Advisor Rob Gale who continued in the
professional, upfront and friendly manner. After a brief test
ride, (my decision), Rob introduced me to Catherine Rogers who
made the
transaction easy and hassle-free. While the paperwork was being
drawn up, Rob made it a special point to introduce me to Frank
Miscioscia, the Porsche Service Manager. Frank told me that
he was
very familiar with my car … that the prior owner took great
care of the vehicle and that I got a great Porsche. Frank’s
comments closed the deal. I knew I was getting a great car at
a great price!
In the ensuing weeks since my purchase, I continue to get great
service. I have received follow up calls from Rob telling me
the spare key was in. ( I have even bumped into Rob in the street
and he
asks how the car is doing). When I went to pick the spare key,
Paul McDaniels called over to me by my first name asking how
the car was. Next, Frank Miscioscia told me that my oil was
a bit down (a
common occurrence with the Cayenne Turbo) and that he would “top
it off’ for me and even offered to get the car washed while
I waited.
In conclusion, you have a great company with dedicated people
who clearly know what they do …. and they do it in a friendly
and pro-consumer manner.
I’m a very satisfied customer.

was preformed very well. But i wanted to let you know about
the “extra mile” service provided by RJ Graf, the Parts Manager

but left my briefcase in the loaner. By the time i realized
this, it was after closing (6:10pm Friday) and i had important
things in my
briefcase i need the next morning. After several panicked calls
and getting only the answering machine, i finally called the
direct line to parts and luckily got hold of RJ Graf. RJ was
extremely
nice, immediately located my brief case in the loaner car, called
me back and offered to drop it off at my house. I met him 10
minutes later at a location convenient to both of us, and got
my
briefcase. Thanks to RJ. Great guy! He even gave me a restaurant
tip that was excellent!

Dear Mr. Chambers,
I want to write to you to share praise about your service manager,
Joseph Rondinelli at Herb Chambers SAAB in Boston.
My spouse and I recently moved home to Massachusetts with the
2004 SAAB we purchased pre-owned (with 8,000 or so miles on
it) in 2006 from a SAAB dealership in Western Pennsylvania.
Let me preface this experience with the statement that we both
love SAAB products and the uniqueness of the ownership experience.
Between us, we have driven many different SAAB models and enjoyed
each of them. This black convertible is no exception, but over
its time with us, it has proven to be quite a temperamental
vehicle.
We were lucky to have excellent customer service in PA at the
dealership where we bought our car and were cared for by a service
representative who I got to know quite well because of the number
of
times our car was in service. I learned the importance of a
great service representative because of the number of electrical
and other glitches that seemed to plague our vehicle (the car
would not
start at times, the radio/back-up proximity sensors would cease
to work, the rearview mirror would clunk, the CD player failed
2x, etcetera). I asked her once to print out the list of warranty
work
done on the car and it was at least three pages long! However,
because of the certified warranty, we never had any cost associated
with the work and loved the car, so we chalked it up to part
of
the experience.
We were lucky to meet Joe at Herb Chambers SAAB. I did not think
we would ever find a service representative as terrific as our
previous one in PA, but I was wrong. Joe is fantastic! He recently
helped navigate me through an ordeal, which without his guidance
I would have spent a great deal of money that did not need to
be spent.
While in for warranty work, I also asked the service department
to look at the rear of the car because there was a scraping
noise. I was notified that my rear brakes were metal-on-metal
(and the
front brakes were 2 3 mm). I thought this was odd because I
had just had the rear rotors and pads replaced in December 07
and only 17-18 thousand miles ago. I also questioned what was
happening
because I had not needed to replace the front brakes on the
car (with about 42 thousand miles on it right now) and I had
always learned that front brakes tend to need to be replaced
more often than
rear. I was hesitant to do the work (brakes/rotors are expensive)
after such a short period of time and sought a second opinion.
A brake place looked at the car and said there was more repair
work
that needed to be completed. I called Joe.
Joe took the time to explain a great deal about the mechanical
layout of the brakes on a SAAB and told me about a new service
bulletin that was distributed to dealers. He offered to have
the shop
take another look while I was away on vacation.
Ultimately, when I returned, SAAB had approved a goodwill replacement
of my rear brakes and rotors all thanks to Joes research
and determination to get to the bottom of this. SAAB also approved
fixing my roof, which had begun to rub against itself while
stowed under the tone cover.
I am grateful for Joe's help and determination to satisfy
the customer as well as for his technical knowledge, and I know
that I will rely on his advice in the future as I am sure this
car will
need future warranty work in addition to normal maintenance
and wear work.
I love this car, even with its many little quirks and
I am happy to return to Herb Chambers SAAB and Joseph Rondinelli
to help keep it in top-shape.
Thank you for employing such a terrific staff member.
Justin

My husband and I purchased a 2009 Lexus IS 250 on 12-29-08 and
picked it up on Jan 10th. We originally signed up for the tire
warranty that was offered for 495.00. Subsequently, I changed
my mind
about the tire warranty and called the finance person before
I took delivery of the car and told him that. When I picked
up the car on Jan 10th I signed some paperwork and he told me
that I would
have the refund back within 7-10 days for the 495.00 (we had
paid for everything by check). Since then I have made 3 phone
calls and my husband even visited the dealership in person on
Feb 14 and
was told someone would look into it. No one has gotten back
to us and there has been no check in the mail. At one point
Rob Morris said he would get the check out on 2-9 by fed express
and we
would have by 2-10. I told him regular mail would be better
for us figuring he could mail it 2-9, but still nothing. Can
someone please look into this for me and get back to me? Quite
frankly I didn't expect the lack of customer service from Herb Chambers
Lexus that we have experienced.

Mr. Chambers,
I wanted to say thank you for your quality of care. Your quick
response to my issue with being refunded for the warranty that
I did not agree to was remarkable. I was contacted by Mark Goldstein,
the Manager of the Saturn of Warwick to confirm that my situation
was being handled, which it was, by Debra Gleavy. She explained
that there is an in house way of handling these requests, and
that
was the reason for the delay. In cases such as mine however,
I do not believe that policy should apply, and she agreed. Her
professionalism with the handling of my issue was nothing short
of
impressive. She was considerate and promptly sent out the payment.
I am now able to refinance and save over 5,000.00 on my car
loan, which is a significant difference. Thank you once again.
I
love my Mercedes, and am confident once again that Herb Chambers
is a name you can trust!
Kind Regards,
Tracy

Hello,
I purchased a 2006 Mercedes ML350 on the 29th of December 08.
The car is beautiful with low mileage and was a fair Smart
Price. The sales dept was great, very kind and helpful. However,
the
financing dept is awful and I feel like I am not being taken
seriously and am very annoyed.
First, I was told my credit score was not favorable (around
650) and was given a finance rate of 11.44%. I was told to try
and refinance after about a year 1/2 to try to get a better
rate. This
threw me because I had good credit in the past but I thought
I had no reason to not believe the financing MANAGER. This was
my first mistake!
I decided to run my own credit report at home and found out
from the three leading credit companies that my lowest score
was 710. I contacted the dealership and was told to keep the
higher percent
because it would be good for my credit?? I HAVE GOOD CREDIT!
I began to look to refinance my vehicle and got a better rate
of 7.15% (because it is a refinance). I contacted the MANAGER
of the
finance department and he said this was not a big difference.
The difference is 58.53 dollars a month, why should I pay extra?
I am sure he would not.
My next disappointment was when I realized that there was an
extended warranty added to my contract without my agreement
in the amount of $2,922.00. Unfortunately I did not realize
this until
reviewing my paperwork the next day. I contacted the manager
and told him since I did not agree to this extended warranty
that I would like to be refunded. He agreed, but since has given
us
nothing but a run around. I decided to contact Wachovia myself
to see what the refund problem is. I was told that there was
no problem and all the dealership had to do was go online and
cancel
the contract and the refund would go through. A few days ago
I received a letter of confirmation that the warranty was cancelled
from Wachovia and the request was not submitted right away when
I
had asked ( Dec 30th)but submitted in February. They were very
prompt with the cancellation and refund, not 30 or 90 + days
as I am continually told.
I called my lien holder and sure enough the money had not been
refunded. I then called Wachovia and was told the dealership
was refunded 100% on Feb 14th. I called the MANAGER of the financing
department at the Saturn of Warwick and he told me that he did
not have the same information. I asked him to check and was
told he would contact me the next day. Every time I talk to
him he says
“wait 30 days” and now its” it may take 90 days”. It has already
been done?? Also, I asked him on the 30th of December to cancel
this warranty so why did he wait over a Month? This means that
the whole time prior to the February cancellation he was lying
to me. Poor, poor customer service. He wrongfully added this
warranty and I have to be treated like this?
I am also disappointed in the fact that I was given a horrible
and dishonest credit score and financing % am being charged
11.44% on a loan of an incorrect amount and that I am not being
credited
for a warranty that has been cancelled. I never agreed to this
warranty and am not being helped. Regarding the percent I was
given I was told he had to contact so many banks to even get
a loan for
me with that score. I received two denials, one said I did not
have a sufficient down payment and the other was Citizens bank
which is a hard bank to get a loan from. I was never suggested
any
information such as put more money down to get a better rate.
No helpful information was given and I was dumbfounded by the
news of my bad credit and did not think to ask.
This is not fair, and I thought I was dealing with a reputable
dealership. It is unfortunate; you would think you would receive
great service at any time from such a dealership, never mind
in a
tough economy where word of mouth can be helpful as well as
detrimental.
The money has been refunded to your dealership and I would like
it credited to my account so I can refinance to a more applicable
percentage rate.
Please advise.

We are writing to express our appreciation to you for the sales
team of James Aiello and Giau Luong. Our previous experience
at your dealership was not a pleasant one, but after explaining
that to
James, he went thru extraordinary efforts to make sure that
we would be more then satisfied this time. Having people like
James and Giau as the face of your dealership goes a long way
in dispelling
any negative feelings that we, as customers might have had about
Herb Chambers Honda of Boston..

Dear Mr. Chambers-
Thank you (and Brad) for your prompt action regarding this matter.
Quite honestly, it was above and beyond anything I expected.
At most, I was hoping for assistance from your dealership in
getting
this matter resolved. Never in my wildest dreams did I expect
your dealership to refund the money directly to me and seek
reimbursement from Alexico especially since, in my eyes, they
are the
party truly at fault here.
My one regret is that I did not contact the dealership sooner,
though as I mentioned above, I did not feel they were the ones
responsible for my ordeal. Had I known they could achieve such
quick
results, I would not have hesitated!
Having purchased cars from several local large dealers in the
metro Boston area, I can honestly say, you’ve provided the best
service out of all of them, hands down. Mercedes Benz of Natick
is top
notch in my opinion and many thanks to Brad for resolving this
matter in such an expeditious fashion!! You’ve certainly earned
a customer here!
Many thanks,
Brandon

Hi,
I bought a new Mercedes from Mercedes Benz of Natick back in
August 2008. Shortly after my purchase, pursuant to the terms
of the Agreements, I elected to cancel the Gap Insurance ($595)
and
Alexico Tire and Wheel Travel-Gard coverage ($499). Again, per
the terms of the Agreements, I sent notices to Mercedes Benz
of Natick for the Gap Insurance and a notice direct to Alexico
for the
Travel Gard. Both agreements provide up to 60 days for the money
to be refunded. After several follow-ups (primarily with Alexico),
I have had absolutely no response from Alexico Corporation.
I
have since filed formal complaints with the Better Business
Bureau, the State of Kansas Attorney General’s office and the
Massachusetts Insurance Department.
To date, although I have received confirmation that my complaints
have been received by the above mentioned parties, I still have
yet to hear anything from Alexico.
Given that I purchased this “product” from your firm, you acted
as the distributor and Alexico has failed to respond to my repeated
requests for cancellation/refund, I am now writing direct to
you
in hopes that you can use your influence with Alexico to obtain
my refund ASAP.
For your reference, the agreement numbers involved are as follows:
TRAVEL GARD agreement#232637; GAP ADDENDUM agreement #2045287.
Purchase date of my vehicle was on 8/23/08.
Overall, I’ve had a very positive experience with Herb Chambers
and I’d hate to see my perception change due to the failure
of one of your vendors to respond. That said, however, I would
expect
Herb Chambers to select vendors more carefully to ensure customer
satisfaction I have experienced anything but with Alexico and
will refuse to buy anything from them ever again!
I would greatly appreciate it if someone could assist me in
this matter and getting my money (and any applicable finance
charges) refunded from Alexico.
Kind regards,
Brandon

Mr. Chambers,
I wish to tell you how pleased I am with my 2006 Cadillac DTS
purchased from your dealership in Providence. I purchased this
in July of 2008 and have never been happier. At the time of
the
purchase the salesman and general manager were extremely helpful
and responsive to my needs.
Since that time, I have had the car in for maintenance and repairs.
This was the first time I have purchased an extended warranty
and the oil change/maintenance plan. I have been very pleased
with both.
I am writing because I have had the car in for a few minor warranty
repairs and the service was impeccable! The service managers
were professional and responsive every time. They hustle and
attend to the needs of the customers very effectively. Each
time that I needed a rental, the transaction was smooth and
efficient. I was always contacted about information for the
repair or other
necessary service.
I just wanted to pass along my extreme satisfaction with the
dealership in Providence. I plan to be a long time Cadillac
owner and trust that it will be with Herb Chambers. I wish you
the best of
luck during this trying economic time. Having been a GM customer
for quite some time, I am pleased to have his new vehicle for
my family.
Sincerely,
Richard

Working with Alex Gathil-Moturi was a pleasure. He was helpful
and straightforward. I will definitely recommend him to my family

Dear Mr. Chambers:
I am writing to express my appreciation for the outstanding
service Phillip Potheau provided in trading in my 2006 Honda
Accord and leasing a new Accord. Phillips enthusiasm and extensive
knowledge made for a very positive experience. Moreover, the
entire staff with whom I had contact at Herb Chambers Westborough
provided excellent service.
Phillip and his sales manager bargained vigorously with me,
as I had a very specific number in mind. They, however, never
resorted to the high pressure sales tactics that would have
pushed me out
the door. Indeed, I chose not to do business with two other
dealerships because their efforts rubbed me the wrong way. Integrity
more than anything else brought me back to your dealership.
You
deserve and have earned my continued business.
After a few days of driving my new Accord, I discovered I had
misplaced a sleeve of CDs. Searches of the house and car were
fruitless, and I realized I had left them in the 2006 Accord.
Phillip,
tracked down the car and retrieved the CDs for me. Frankly,
based on my experience with Phillip, I was not surprised. He
is truly an asset to your corporation.
Best regards,
Matt

I wrote to you several months ago on behalf of refunds from
two extended warranties that been delayed because of errors
in Auburn. I have been there to sign cancellations for the third
time in 4
months talked with the general manager twice and probably every
person in the finance office with little success. In contract
signing I clearly said no and still have little faith in receiving
the
full amount because of two $70 penalties of policies that this
dealership added without permission. My tundra is great I wish
I could say the same for the dealership I bought from. This
is my 5th
purchase from your dealerships and for the first time feel
disappointed
in my treatment because of there approach in selling cars and
policies. I am now 4 months waiting for refunds and it will
be
$140 + shy of sum paid. Please review this complaint and hopefully
you can change there treatment of persons after they purchase
the vehicle. I consider myself a loyal customer and was hoping
for
the same loyalty in return.

Good Afternoon,
A few months back I had an issue at the Danvers showroom. After
an e-mail to you, everything so taken care of. I wanted to Thank
you.
I mentioned I was interested in purchasing another vehicle.
I did return to the Danvers store. I did indeed purchase another
Hummer. The salesman Clinton Gerrish was wonderful, along with
anyone
and everyone I dealt with. I thank you for for taking my prior
issue seriously. I recently had 2 vehicles serviced in Danvers,
my vehicles were serviced with big smiles and a few jokes. The
service
department is wonderful, especially Jack. My trucks were returned
cleaned and quicker than I expected. It was great, again thank
you.
I am in the market for an SUV for my daughter, who gets to drive
in 2 weeks. I will purchase her vehicle from your Danvers showroom.
I hope to remain a loyal customer. I have spoken to Emilio in
Danvers, we have plans to meet the first of next week.
I just wanted to take the time to tell you I had the best service
and a few laughs as well. You need to know about the wonderful
people you have there, not just the complaints.
Thank you Again,

I just bought a Pacifica from the BMW dealership in Boston.
I was in a bad position when my old car broke down. They had
my old car towed to Boston from Millbury as this would have
been a large out
of pocket expense for me. They also are having my new car brought
to Millbury so I don't have to drive to Boston again. Even though
I was at a BMW dealership that was very busy they treated me
just
like everyone else even though I was buying a used Pacifica.
I felt like I was treated like I was buying a BMW. Even while
negotiating I was not pressured and they were empathetic to
my situation.
If I ever have a BMW budget I will definitely go back there.
Kudo’s to Ken, Abdoo and Azi. Thank you

It would appear that everyone I have encountered since my purchase
last October of a Mini Cooper S Clubman, has an “attitude.”
Much to my delight that “attitude” has been great. Pleasant
and
helpful.
My primary sales person was Darnell with excellent support from
Giovani, Aaron and Danielle (I think that is her name). I received
thorough explanations and honest assessments of all the options.
Since I was checked out at delivery I have had a couple of minor
service issues. Including the initial check out Mark Ravin has
been there for all service visits. His “attitude” is one that
makes
this customer feel that anything I need, want or even think
I want, can be done. He is friendly, thorough and an asset to
your company.
The car is great too. My thanks to all for making spending money
almost easy.

I purchased a Honda Civic from Herb Chambers of Boston in 2007
and have been consistently impressed with the level of service
that I have received from this dealership. This past weekend
I got stuck
in snow and noticed the car was vibrating a little on the highway.
I took the car in for service without having an appointment
and was immediately helped by Michael Rassiccia. He was polite,
friendly and extremely helpful. The service department was able
to take care of the problem within the day. My greatest compliments
to all of the people that work so well together to provide this
level of care and customer satisfaction. I am actively recommending
Herb Chambers of Boston to all of my acquaintances!

A little over a month ago I had the pleasure of working with
Bethany and her team at Herb Chambers Honda of Westborough when
I purchased a 2008 CRV. It was my first time going through the
dealership
process and everyone was very attentive and understanding. Bethany
took the time to find out what was important to me and then
applied that to our test drives. Two of the key selling points
for me
on the CRV were the backseat mirror built into the sunglass
holder and the fold down center tray for accessing the backseat.
Both small things, but since Bethany knew that my life revolved
around
children with severe special needs, my dog, and my family, she
was able to find the car that suited all my needs and more.
To date my Honda CRV is my second most pleasing purchase (second
only to my
dog). The car has performed beautifully in all types of weather.
This being New England, I have had the opportunity to drive
it in the snow, ice, sleet, slush, etc and I have always felt
confident
in the CRV’s handling and control. (To be honest during some
of the big storms this winter, I felt safer in the CRV then
I had in my previous car a Jeep Cherokee.) I continue to be
impressed by
the service provided at Herb Chambers, whether its through Bethany
calling to check in, an email from the service department, or
simply knowing that I can always get my car washed I feel valued
as
a costumer and part of the Honda family. I made the right decision
when I went to Herb Chambers and while I’m sure my next vehicle
will be many years down the road, I will be coming back to Herb
Chambers because they have earned my trust and confidence. I
am proud to be a Honda owner and thank you for the “great experience”
of buying my new CRV!

I just want you to know that Tom and his team did a FABULOUS
job!
After I wrote this email, I called your office to follow up
on the email and Nicole suggested that I contact Tom. I did
exactly that and he responded immediately, professionally, and
with a real
goal of resolution.
After one day of my first discussion with Tom, we drove away
with another car from Herb Chambers of Westborough and a very
positive experience with the team there.
Job well done across the board! Thanks again Tom. You are a
pleasure to work with and Greg and Norman were a delight to
work with in helping us find a car. As a sales professional,
I truly
respect great customer service and salesmanship. You’ve got
a winning combo there in Westborough. My husband and I both
noticed and admired it as much as we are admiring the Hyundai.
I will continue to recommend your business to anyone I know
seeking a car. Thank you for a great customer experience.

Dear Herb - I’m escalating a situation to your attention as
a dedicated Honda consumer.
We have two Honda’s one leased 2008 Pilot and one owned 2005
Civic. We got both at HC Westborough.
Over the past 6 weeks, the Civic has been emitting some kind
of noxious fume (occurs only when the engine is running.) It
resulted in my husband going to the emergency room with a number
of
symptoms including nausea, numbness, faint, etc. The ruled out
carbon monoxide poisoning, but could not determine the source.
My husband continues to experience intermittent symptoms and
I have
also one-time suffered this after a short trip as has one other
passenger on a four hour trip with him.
We’ve taken it into Westborough 4 times to determine what the
problem is. Despite dedicated and good effort by the team there,
it remains unresolved. They have not been able to replicate
the
problem. I just learned from the corporate office that a Honda
Field REp would be the next step so I’ve left a message with
Rich to set this up.
At this point, we need to speed up the work. If we DO have to
get another car, I would like to work with someone that handles
sales and service so that we can somehow negotiate a solution
that
recognizes the frustration and problem that this car has caused.
I also think Honda would seek to be aware of this problem for
their own manufacturing process.
Please advise. I do want to stress that the team has been very
professional and helpful, but now I think we are all at an
impasse.
Thank You Heather

Dear Herb Chambers, I am always amazed by the service in Herb
Chambers Mini of Boston, the efficiency, the speed, even the
way you maneuver multiple cars in and out of the little space
you have… But
this time, I want to praise and thank- one person especially, Miraldo in the MINI department. He was not only able to swiftly
accommodate several customers at once (impatiently stirring
at him
while he was helping someone else) but never lost good manners
and his unmatched joy of working there. I hope you will recognize
his splendid service skills and agility (he does not walk, he
runs!)

To Whom It May Concern,
This past weekend I purchased a Certified 2006 A6. I traded
in a 2001 A6.Used Car Manager Matt Nichols handled all the details
concerning what my car was worth. It was up front and professional.
No
games or pressure to buy. I was treated with the utmost respect.
It was a real pleasure to make this purchase. He had Sales Consultant
Jason Grzesik handle my financing and when I picked up the car
ALL of the cars’ options were explained in detail. Both men
were total professionals and are assets to your company.
Sincerely, Bob

I have been driving my new Hyundai Accent for about three weeks
now and let me just say I have never been so happy!! I purchased
my brand new 09 Accent with help from Stan and Rusty who were
just
great. They took the time to look at cars in my price range
and explain everything thoroughly never making me feel pressured
or rushed. I went in looking for a used car and ended up walking
out with
an 09 model and feeling one hundred percent confident.
Even when signing all those papers in the office, the guys made
me feel completely at ease. Dan explained everything that I
was signing and answered all of my questions without hesitation.
It can be
intimidating for someone who is purchasing their first car!
In all, I would come back to Herb Chambers and plan on it when
I purchase my next vehicle. Thank you to you and your employees!

My experience today at Ford of Westborough was the epitome of
professionalism and service. Yesterday, I made a random call
to service to inquire about having our recently purchased suv
looked at.
The front bumper was a bit loose at one corner (most likely
a broken clip or bolt) I anticipated leaving it for a day or
so. “Jeff” tells me to bring it in in the morning. Service was
very busy, I
waited about an hour, they corrected the problem, cleaned the
vehicle and I was on my way. I couldn't believe it! Paul in sales,
Josh in finance, and the service team. I really do appreciate
this
level of service. Well done!!
