Low Key But Informative I reluctantly walked into this dealership on a Sunday afternoon, didn't really want to buy a car but I needed one. I figured that it would be a fact- I reluctantly walked into this dealership on a Sunday afternoon, didn't really want to buy a car but I needed one. I figured that it would be a fact-finding mission, that I would take a couple of test drives and go home to think it over. Stuart met me on the lot. I had a budget (of course) and a couple of thoughts about what I might want to drive. He made a suggestion or two and then let me test drive a bunch of different cars. Even though I hadn't planned on making a decision that day, I ended up putting a deposit down on a 2010 Honda CRV. Now, I don't know much about cars, so I wanted my mechanic to look at it before committing. No problem, Stuart offered to drive the car to my mechanic (several towns away) for a look-see. Then the dealership agreed to every repair that the mechanic suggested and had it done for me in no time at all. Financing was easy, too, and I found myself chatting away with Fred while he ground away at the numbers for me. Here's the really cool part: I had made an appointment to finalize the loans with Fred but forgot to tell the sales folks that I wanted to pick the car up at the same time. Totally and completely my bad. I figured I would just come back the next day but, no, the whole team acted like it was their goof and not mine. From the way they acted, you would have thought that the Queen of England was standing there, tapping her foot -- although I was NOT tapping my foot and I was perfectly happy to take delivery at a later time. They were having none of that. There was a scramble to get the car ready -- and when they realized there was one more thing that needed attention, they apologized, gave me a loaner car so I could get to work, and then drove my "new" car (all clean and spiffy) to me later that afternoon. Now, I don't know much about cars, but I have purchased them before. The experience, in the past, was not especially pleasant. This time was completely different. It was a lot like buying a car from an uncle I hadn't seen in a while, somebody who was thrilled to see me, wanted to be sure I was happy, and had told the whole staff to treat me well. I will absolutely go back for my next car and, if you're in the market, would encourage you to go up there, say hello to Stuart, and ask for a test drive. More

I purchased my new 2012 Chevy Cruze in August. Amesbury Chevy made it so easy. They helped me find the perfect vehicle for me. My car payments are spot on the number that I was promised. I brought my car i Chevy made it so easy. They helped me find the perfect vehicle for me. My car payments are spot on the number that I was promised. I brought my car in for my first service and was very happy with this experience as well. The drive thru made it much easier for me to get my children out of the car without them running across the parking lot. I waited in the waiting area and my children stayed occupied watching tv and coloring on the chalk board. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone looking to purchase or service their vehicle. More

Went in on Saturday 1/5/13 was driving my used Honda Civic Monday 1/7/13. from the moment I arrived on site the professionalism of the staff was outstanding the vehicle was pulled up front and was alre Civic Monday 1/7/13. from the moment I arrived on site the professionalism of the staff was outstanding the vehicle was pulled up front and was already running. I told them I am familiar with this car and how it handles as my Fiance had one but Chris said all cars drive differently so I went for a highway test drive and I loved the car. When i went to pick up the car on Monday everything was all set Chris contacted the registry, my insurance company, they handled all details all I had to do was sign on the dotted line. I would highly recommned this dealer to anyone and when you go their ask for CHRIS HOLDER I told him what I wanted and what I wanted to pay and he get it. I felt no pressure having been ripped off by other dealers in the past I was surprised at his professionalism. More

My husband and I came to Amesbury Chevrolet to purchase a 2013 Chevy Tahoe. We also had a vehicle we were looking to trade in. We called ahead of time to speak with a manager and set up an appointment. Wh 2013 Chevy Tahoe. We also had a vehicle we were looking to trade in. We called ahead of time to speak with a manager and set up an appointment. When we arrived, Chris had the vehicle pulled up and ready for us to test drive. This was one of the best experiences we have had purchasing a vehicle. Chris was very knowledgeable on the vehicle and straight forward with us on pricing. Unlike other experiences with vehicle purchases (lengthy negotiations, hidden costs, etc.), Chris was straightforward and upfront, and was able to work with us to meet our personal budget and get us a fair trade on our vehicle. After purchasing the vehicle, Chris spent about an hour with us going over more specific features in the vehicle and setting up our preferences and on-star. Since we arrived at the dealership late on a Monday evening, they even had the vehicle washed and detailed the next day and delivered to our home. We live about 1.5 hours from the dealership. They even re-fueled the truck so it was full when we recieved it. We could not be more pleased with our experience at Amesbury Chevrolet, (Chris Holder specifically) and of course our new Tahoe! Thank you! Tami (Grafton, MA) More

I went in on Oct 18 to check out an advertised clearence. I was brought a car to test drive which I decided to buy. I picked up the car on Friday after transfering registration from my trade-in. The car was I was brought a car to test drive which I decided to buy. I picked up the car on Friday after transfering registration from my trade-in. The car was supposed to have remote start which would not program to the clicker. They wuold fix it Monday when I had more time. On Saturday I went to put groceries in the trunk and saw it was a different model than I was told it was. Sunday in the daylight I checked the VIN thinking they had two and I came home with the wrong one. It did not match the paperwork they gave me. After calling them and a major freak-out,we decided to check it all Monday. Turns out the 2 VINs had the last 6 numbers matching. Nobody noticed the rest were different. Luckily the title was correct to the car.I took it in Monday,fixed the paperwork mix-up. But the remote still wouldnt connect. They gave me a loaner and kept at it. Tuesday Alex the service manager called to say that this car doesnt have remote start,the other model does but they felt so bad that this whole deal was so mixed-up that the salesman -Jeff- asked Alex to put in an after market one for me. I would have understood if my car didnt really have it but I am more than thrilled that they went so far above and beyond to smooth things out. Thank you Jeff and Alex. More

I bought a 2011 certified pre-owned Chevy Malibu LT a few months back and absoutely love it! I was not really in the market for a car, but when I saw this deal I had to have it. I had custom leather and heat months back and absoutely love it! I was not really in the market for a car, but when I saw this deal I had to have it. I had custom leather and heated seats put in it and they are amazing! The vehicle is just wonderful, super quiet, runs great and I'm getting around 28-30 MPG average, which with gas prices going up is just great! I worked with Dan Ditmars, he was very helpful, personable and made this a very seamless quick process. I thought buying a car would be such a headache, but it was very far from that. The people that work here are great, no pressure at all. Highly reccomend this dealership to buy a car at. More

The salesperson was very helpful and carefully asked questions to understand what I was looking for in a car. We tried many different styles and colors. The salesperson was very knowledgeable about each car and answered all of my questions. I decided on a 2009 Malibu, we quickly closed the deal and within 30 min I had all of the paperwork, insurance and the keys to drive off the lot. I couldn't believe how quickly the process took. After the first day of driving I did notice an issue with the turn signal and called the salesperson. He told me to bring the car in when it was convenient for me. I pulled into the dealership the next day and again was greeted promptly and the salesperson was right there. He grabbed my keys, gave me a loaner and said the car would be fixed in the next hour and I could pick it up at my convenience. I was there at the end of the day and my car was fixed. I was impressed with the salespeople, the staff, and the facility at Amesbury Chevrolet and would encourage anyone to visit this dealership to purchase a car or get their car serviced. More

I had a good experience buying this car. We negotiated a conditional offer over the phone. Then the salesman (Dan) brought the car to my house -- which was unbelievably helpful to me. The only glitch was wa conditional offer over the phone. Then the salesman (Dan) brought the car to my house -- which was unbelievably helpful to me. The only glitch was waiting at the dealership for the opportunity to be sold a warranty. I wouldn't have minded except I really wanted to go to the beach evening and it got too late. This is such a tiny thing, I bring it up to point out how problem-free the entire experience was. If that was the worst thing about my experience, I'd have to say it was a pretty good car buying experience. More
