Bought a Mini from Inskip in Warwick RI in Summer 09. Cannot say enough good things about the experience. Sales guy Peter Rock is smart, knowledgeable, responsive and personable. With no sales-y BS. Buy Cannot say enough good things about the experience. Sales guy Peter Rock is smart, knowledgeable, responsive and personable. With no sales-y BS. Buying a car should be something to get excited about and enjoy, but I usually dread it. And this was the first time we ever actually looked forward to our interactions with a car dealer. The process was actually fun. Can you believe it? i still look forward to going in there when I need to. I just brought the car in for my first service and the service folks were attentive, easy to work with and made everything simple. And even better, I was able to schedule my appointment by email, after getting a nice reminder from the Service Manager. Inskip really does the MIni brand proud; you buy a Mini because it's stylish, well made, got a great pedigree, and fun, and the people at Inskip do all they can to bring all of those qualities into the buying and service experience.

I never thought I'd describe the process of buying a new car as "fun". But with Peter Rock and INSKIP MINI, that was exactly the case. I've had negative expereinces with numerous other dealers in the past car as "fun". But with Peter Rock and INSKIP MINI, that was exactly the case. I've had negative expereinces with numerous other dealers in the past, so when it came time for a new car, I was kind of dreading the whole process. As soon as I walked into INSKIP MINI, I was greeted by Peter. Right from the start it was obvious he was not only extremely knowledgable about the car, but also passionate about the brand. You could tell he loved cars and loved talking about them. Everything from the test-drive to the signing of documents, he was awesome. I felt like I was just shooting the breeze with a buddy of mine, instead of negotiating with a salesman. Mark Malaska was also great in explaining the finances to me. My experience at INSKIP MINI was by far the best I've ever had with any dealer. Really good group over there. More
Inskip Mini is the only Mini dealer that I know of in Rhode Island. On my first visit I was greeted by a salesperson, Donna Keane, within a few minutes of arriving. I took my time to look at the Minis Rhode Island. On my first visit I was greeted by a salesperson, Donna Keane, within a few minutes of arriving. I took my time to look at the Minis on the lot, and when I went inside the building I received help immediately. I was able to test drive the model I was interested in during my first visit, and there was absolutely no pressure to buy or even sit down and discuss options after my initial test drive. I decided to schedule a second test drive later in the week and Donna had another vehicle ready and waiting for me when I arrived. When I decided to buy there was no sales pressure, and Donna and many of the rest of the staff helped to answer any questions I had. Unfortunately, the window price of the car here really IS the price of the car. I was unable to negotiate a lower price at all. I did order a car direct from the factory that had everything I wanted and nothing I didn't need. I visited 4 car dealerships while I was deciding which new car to purchase, and can honestly say that my experience at Inskip Mini was better than at the other dealerships. I was not ignored, the sales experience was natural and conversation wasn't forced. One feature of this dealership that I haven't used yet, but have high hopes for is their service policy. They will pick up my vehicle for scheduled maintenance and return it when the service is complete, within a specific distance, I think it's 70 miles. This is incredibly convenient! Hopefully it works as advertised. It's not THE reason why I picked a Mini, but it is definately something that sets Inskip apart from other dealerships. More
When I stopped at Inskip Mini just to look around i had no intentions of buying a new car since my current car was only eleven months old!! I was so impressed with Donna when she approached me that day. no intentions of buying a new car since my current car was only eleven months old!! I was so impressed with Donna when she approached me that day. She was not your typical salesperson who just wanted a sale, she came up to me while I was looking into the window of a beautiful black mini sports convertible and simply asked "do you want to take it for a ride?". I told her right then that i was just looking and had no intention of buying a car. She said it was not problem i'll go get the key and you can see how it rides. Made it so simple for me that I said sure why not. When I finished my drive and met her back in the parking lot with the mini, she was right there to ask how i like it. I said it was great not knowing about any of the great features. She got in on the passenger side of the car and continued to point out all the features of the car. Even at that point i said this is great but i don't want to buy yet that i was just looking. She said no problem, lets go in and i'll give you figures so that when you are ready you will have an idea of what to expect. Donna sat down with me and at that point told me that she had just started at Mini a couple of weeks ago. I was amazed at how knowledgeable Donna was with the product for having been there for such a short period of time. Donna's presentation in itself kept me very interested. Needless to say I drove my new Mini home that very night! Loved working with Donna and her manager Manny. When your looking for a car and drive into Inskip make sure to ask for Donna Keane. Thank you Donna. Kathy from Cranston. More
I visited Inskip MINI in August to purchase a new MINI Cooper and take advantage of the cash for clunkers program. Before taking the drive to Rhode Island from MA, I called to check availability and price Cooper and take advantage of the cash for clunkers program. Before taking the drive to Rhode Island from MA, I called to check availability and prices at several MINI dealerships and found the prices to be all in the same range. However, I chose Inskip in Warwick, RI after my conversation with Tim Ansay. He was not only knowledgeable about the auto I was interested in but also courteous and friendly and also confirmed the documents needed to participate in the clunkers program. Tim Ansay assisted me with the sale and when it was discovered that I was unable to participate in the clunkers program because I didn't meet the requirements (my error for not reading the guidelines close enough), Tim was able to secure a trade for my vehicle at an equivalent price. I will go to no other dealer and use no ther salesman on any subsequent auto purchases than Inskip and Tim Ansay. I had told Tim before driving the extra distance that I wanted to be able to drive home that day in my new car and Tim Ansay made sure that happened. Lastly, not only was my experience very positive but the follow up service far surpassed any auto buying experience I've had in 25 years as a licensed driver. If your looking for a great car and exceptional service, the person to see is Tim Ansay and the dealership is Inskip in Warwick, RI. More
Pete Rock is the best sales person ever. He is very knowledgeable and super friendly. I have purchased 2 MINIs from Inskip and I adore all of the service and sales people- like Jaymes in service is sup knowledgeable and super friendly. I have purchased 2 MINIs from Inskip and I adore all of the service and sales people- like Jaymes in service is super cool. Financing is very easy and they bend over backwards to make you happy- Mark is wonderful and definately thinks he is pretty cool :) They also organize fun rally events like partnering with Toys for Tots back in December ~ MINI's make a difference. It is not just a dealership... they give a lot back to the community and to their patrons. Inskip is fun and going to buy a car or get your car serviced there is relaxing and actually a pleasure. Yeah, I said pleasure. All the people there are very enthusiastic and excited about MINI's- which is awesome because so am I! I really really love my cars and my Jupiter is very well taken care of at Inskip. Please, if you are considering a MINI (which you all should be) go there and ask for Pete. You will absolutely have the best experience. Thanks guys for everything- always. LET'S MOTOR! xox erin More
After attempting to deal with the MINI dealers in Massachusetts, I trekked to Rhode Island to find Peter, and Inskip MINI. Everything about the purchasing process was easy, simple and low-key. Peter Massachusetts, I trekked to Rhode Island to find Peter, and Inskip MINI. Everything about the purchasing process was easy, simple and low-key. Peter just wanted to help me find a car I wanted, and allowed me ample time to consider options and let myself fall in love with the car. Unlike other dealers, he did not force a test drive on me with him in the passenger seat, did not pressure me, and did not come across as a total jerk (in complete contrast with MINI dealers in Boston and Peabody). In the end, Peter found my perfect car in New York, had it drive to Rhode Island, and I paid (in my opinion) a very fair price. I would certainly visit again for my next car, but hopefully that wont be for a very long time. More
Peter has great knowledge of the Mini brand as well as general automotive. He was very patient working with my friend to arrive at a fair price, and absolutely no haggle was neccessary. It made me r general automotive. He was very patient working with my friend to arrive at a fair price, and absolutely no haggle was neccessary. It made me realize you can really walk into a car dealer and walk out with a new car in less than 2.5 hours. Quite an amazing feat, since it usually takes on average more than 4 hours of haggling, negotiating ect. More
I had been wanting a Mini Cooper S Convertible for the last few years. The first time I went in I knew I wasn't going to buy the car because I still had a year and a half on my current leased car. My hus last few years. The first time I went in I knew I wasn't going to buy the car because I still had a year and a half on my current leased car. My husband and I talked with Jessica Splendorio and test drove a car. She was very courteous and professional from the start. I came back to the showroom two more times before buying my car. Each time she showed the same courtesy and professionalism which made working with her a joy. I decided to build my Cooper S and wait until my lease was up before purchasing. She showed me the website and how to track the status of my car as it was being built. The day my car was purchased she went over EVERYTHING inside and out and even called Sirius to help me set up the radio. I haven't had the opportunity to use the service department yet but I'm hoping for the same treatment I received from the sales group. Jessica is someone I would definitely recommend working with for anyone looking to purchase a Mini Cooper from Inskip. More
Prior to visiting Inskip I had stopped at two other Mini Prior to visiting Inskip I had stopped at two other Mini Dealers which gave me a very negative view of Mini Dealers. Finally, I stopped Prior to visiting Inskip I had stopped at two other Mini Dealers which gave me a very negative view of Mini Dealers. Finally, I stopped into Inskip and was pleasantly greeted by Jessica Splendorio. Jessica was very professional and pleasant to deal with. I almost immediately recognized she was very knowledgeable about the Mini. I was the existing owner of a 2003 Mini and was interested in a new Clubman for which she was very informative about the differences.. Initially I was not pleased with my Tradein price but Jessica persued this area (with her management) and was able to come up with an arrangement both parties agreed to. With minimal prodding from me.. Finally, I was totally impressed when I picked up my new Clubman where Jessica went over every Switch, computer programing, etc with me.. More
