I was looking for a used convertible. I saw a 2006 Mini Cooper S sitting outside the dealership. I went in and talked to Wayne Altavilla. Wayne and the rest of the staff were very friendly. The transactio Cooper S sitting outside the dealership. I went in and talked to Wayne Altavilla. Wayne and the rest of the staff were very friendly. The transaction was very easy. I was treated fairly on both the price of the car and the price for my trade. Financing was effortless. The dealership did about $2000 worth of work to the car after we made the deal. They did not charge me for this work. Several days after I bought the car the battery died. The dealership took the car in on a Sunday morning, gave me a loaner, and replaced the battery at no charge. I have been back for service one more time. The receptionist, the service writer, and the rest of the staff were great. Service was preformed quickly while I waited. The waiting areas are comfortable and stocked with drinks and snacks. Wifi is available I would recommend Mini of Peabody and Wayne Altavilla More
Although the $100 Mini of Peabody offers for every referral is tempting, I cannot in good conscience recommend this dealership. There are countless dealerships in the area, go to any of them or buy f referral is tempting, I cannot in good conscience recommend this dealership. There are countless dealerships in the area, go to any of them or buy from craigslist or ebay! The customer service here is atrocious. I recently purchased a 2013 Mini and told my salesman, Luis, that I worked for the government and would be stationed in Europe starting in April, which is why I wanted the Mini because it’s practical for Europe. Despite stating this, neither Luis nor the finance staff thought it important to tell me that Mini would not let me take the car abroad if I still owed money. I have to refinance through USAA because they will allow me to take the car overseas. When I told Luis I was upset that I wasn’t told this initially he replied that I never said I planned to take the car with me because otherwise he wouldn’t have recommended I finance through Mini or that I even buy the car. His response is a lie. We had conversations about why I thought the car was good for Europe and yet he didn’t say anything. Unless he didn’t listen to anything I said, there’s no way he didn’t know I was taking the car abroad. He further told me, “Common sense dictates that [I] had all the details worked out” about my move to Europe and whether I could bring the car. As nice as it is to not only be lied to, but to also have the salesman question my level of intelligence, which is the basis for sound customer service, I would think common sense should dictate that when I say I want to bring my car abroad, and the salesman knows it violates the loan agreement, I should be told. Further, Luis made no attempt to rectify the situation – no offer of “let’s look into other financing options” – he just lied and insulted my lack of common sense. I reached out to the sales manager who apologized for the inconvenience and asked to speak to me about it over the phone the next day. I gave him my number and available times; I also said I could call him if it would be more convenient and to let me know. I received no response and no phone call – the kind of stellar customer service one expects after purchasing a $20,000+ car. I can’t speak for all the salespeople, but I had a horrible experience. I was misled, lied to, and then ignored. I recognize my situation doesn’t apply to many people, but car buying can be stressful enough as is without having to worry whether the salesman is even remotely concerned about your interests after you sign the loan. Again, they were very nice while I was buying the car, but once I signed the loan the wheels pretty much fell off the customer service wagon. If you don’t care about customer service or being treated with respect then I suppose it’s fine to go here. Personally, I do not recommend buying a car from this dealership and if you do I hope for your sake nothing goes wrong because then you’re screwed. More
Just bought my first MINI and was very happy with the service received at MINI of Peabody. Wayne was personable and thorough - he followed up via phone and email (without hounding me like some dealers!) service received at MINI of Peabody. Wayne was personable and thorough - he followed up via phone and email (without hounding me like some dealers!), once he found a car that suited my needs with price and package, he gave me a comprehensive tour of the vehicle teaching me about every single button, latch, etc. I'm thrilled with my new purchase and would recommend this dealer friends.

I went to several used car dealerships looking for a cooper s in my price range, but couldn't find the right one or a salesperson that knew anything about the car. Went to MINI of Bedford (NH) where th cooper s in my price range, but couldn't find the right one or a salesperson that knew anything about the car. Went to MINI of Bedford (NH) where the staff knew their product, but didn't have the car I was looking for. The MINI dealer website put me on to MINI of Peabody and the online inventory suggested that there might be a car for me there. Turns out there was. Wayne was a top-notch sales person from the beginning. He had the answers to all my questions and, since his personal car is a MINI, Wayne had more insider knowledge than any other sales person I talked to. Wayne really saved me on the financing. I had planned to go through a credit union with a co-signer but their offer turned out to be not as good as I'd hoped. Wayne processed my app super quick and offered better terms than I could have expected. Awesome. I just picked up the car today. Loving every minute. Big thanks to Wayne. More
This is for anyone interested in buying a Mini Cooper. This is for anyone interested in buying a Mini Cooper. I've purchased my 2012 Mini Cooper through Mini of Peabody. This has been the best experience This is for anyone interested in buying a Mini Cooper. I've purchased my 2012 Mini Cooper through Mini of Peabody. This has been the best experience when purchasing a new vehicle that I have ever had. Mini of Peabody has the best sales team accommodating in every way and their service is outstanding too… When purchasing a new or used vehicle there is a lot to consider the price and support of all involved is always concerning to me… At Mini of Peabody, from the start of my purchase to the day I took delivery was nothing less of effortless pleasant experience… Since owning my Mini and bringing it in for service has continued to go above any standard I've ever experienced in other dealerships… At Mini of Peabody they all work as a team to be sure the customer is satisfied from the purchase of their vehicle to the service as the years pass by… BMW is considered a luxury car and most people have a false sense that because of that you should be treated with the utmost courtesy wherever you go. However, I did shop around at other BMW Mini dealers and found that untrue, almost to the point of general rudeness of the sales staff, that seemed to just want the quick sale… Very unsettling to me to be treated with the idea of can’t you make a decision "NOW"… Purchasing a vehicle takes time and no one wants to feel like they’re under the gun to buy… At Mini of Peabody time is endless and no pressures at all to purchase any vehicle until you’re ready. The sales team is knowledgeable and helpful through the entire process whether purchasing a new or used vehicle, it doesn't stop there either. The Service Advisors are there to be sure your vehicle is running efficiently from the day of purchase and everyday thereafter… In closing, clearly the choice is Mini of Peabody the beginning and end of your search… Happy Mini Owner...Thanks Mini of Peabody!

I walked into the dealership interested in a Mini, but not sure. After spending time with Luis, I was won over to the brand due to his extensive knowledge about the cars. He was easy to deal with, and not not sure. After spending time with Luis, I was won over to the brand due to his extensive knowledge about the cars. He was easy to deal with, and not the least bit pressuring. I ended up buying the car because I was so excited about and loved the car....Luis didn't badger me into buying a Mini Cooper S Countryman All4, he just sold me on the car and let me take my time. Hands town, easiest car buying experience of my life. I will buy more cars at Mini of Peabody, and hopefully Luis! More
