The experience with their sales staff was excellent and one of the best salesman that we have ever dealt with. Tim Thomas was exceptionally knowledgeable about the vehicle and all facets of Lexus RX 350. We did not buy this time but would strongly consider this dealership on another purchase. More
Returned RAV4 The dealership was cordial and helpful but the vehicle I bought was misrepresented (I was assured the new the 2015 RAV4 was rated to tow up to 1500# w The dealership was cordial and helpful but the vehicle I bought was misrepresented (I was assured the new the 2015 RAV4 was rated to tow up to 1500# without trailer brakes but when reading the Owners Manual I discovered that it was limited to 1000# if the trailer did not have brakes.) I returned the vehicle the next day and received a full refund. The refund was handle well but I would strongly suggest that all sales people thoroughly understand each vehicle's capabilities so that future customers are not blindsided. I found it very inconvenient to return the RAV$ since I had sold my car on the day of the RAV4 sale and now had to rush around to find a suitable replacement. Richard Labrecque More
Relaxed, comfortable and easy I bought my second Lexus today from Berlin City. My previous one lasted over 10 years with few problems. I had sent an email to Berlin City expres I bought my second Lexus today from Berlin City. My previous one lasted over 10 years with few problems. I had sent an email to Berlin City expressing my interest in a car. It was answered by Chris Green. And I went in to see him the next day. What a comfortable experience! While I pretty much knew what I wanted, there were some critical questions I had and I intended to return home and do some more research before making a decision. Chris took me through what I needed to know, made insightful suggestions and gave me frank answers to my questions. Very refreshing. I left two hours later - all paperwork completed efficiently - leaving my old car behind. I'm not a car person. And, if you're like me, car buying can be difficult because you don't have the experience and background to assess the validity of the responses to your questions. So, you end up having to rely upon the credibility of the sales person. Chris clearly knows his cars, but more so his personable manner, easy style and obvious concern for his client changed my reconnoitering trip into an easy sale and a good deal for me. More

He ordered the car from another dealership and even came in on his day off to work with me. Top notch Service for sure I will definitely be back! More
Car returned damaged My car was towed in for warranty work and when it was returned to me it had damage on the front bumper. It had white scratches on a 3x8 inch area and My car was towed in for warranty work and when it was returned to me it had damage on the front bumper. It had white scratches on a 3x8 inch area and a crack where someone obviously hit a curb with my car. When I called Lynn, the service writer, she had no idea how to handle the situation except to say it wasn't damaged when she checked it in off the tow truck and the mechanic said it wasn't either. I sent her pictures of the damage and her only repsonse was it wasn't like that shen she saw it and the people who drove the car back to me said they hadn't been in an accident.She should have directly gone to her manager with the situation and they should have taken care of the problem. Instead I had to call a friend in the car business to call the manager there to have it taken care of. I will not be purchasing another Lexus unless there is a new dealer in the state of Maine. They caused my undue stress when all I wanted was my car repaired under warranty. Not only that but Lynn offered for me to drive 2 hours with a tow truck driver to get a loaner car, plus a 2 hour drive home. I was without a car for 6 days. I also asked for a trade in value while they had my car there (before the experience got worse) I've still yet to recieve a call from someone in sales. Seems to be major communication problems with this dealership. Lexus....pursuit of perfection....they have a lot of work to do here! More
I never new car buying could be so good! I just bought my used Mazda Cx-9 tonight from Berlin City Auto of Portland, ME. The experience was awesome. I called about the car last night (at 6p I just bought my used Mazda Cx-9 tonight from Berlin City Auto of Portland, ME. The experience was awesome. I called about the car last night (at 6pm.) I spoke with Stefan who gave me a top dollar appraisal for my old trade in ($600-$1000 more than other places) over the phone. I was able to do most of the paperwork over the phone including texting pictures of our licences/insurance paperwork. They were almost unable to deliver the car today but being a holiday weekend, but I really wanted the new car for my family trip. Tracy in financials worked hard and got someone to drive it down 2 1/2 hours to NH today at 515 pm. I met him at my husbands work so we could both sign the paperwork and 15 min later I drove away in my new car and they drove away in my trade-in. They were able to beat USAAs financing rate with no headaches! I also got extended coverage at a great price. I love this dealership and won't go anywhere else in the future. Berlin City really does = easy. I love them and recommend them to anyone! More

This was my second lease experience with Berlin City Lexus. Based on the ease and lack of unpleasant pressure the first time, I returned this time. And I was not disappointed. The experience was "civ Lexus. Based on the ease and lack of unpleasant pressure the first time, I returned this time. And I was not disappointed. The experience was "civilized" from beginning to end unlike my experience with the 800 gorilla at Toyata in Saco. Tyler Mansfield made the experience smooth and even pleasant. He is anything but the stereotypical Used Car/Richard Nixon type. He is articulate, intelligent, and polite. I was actually surprised after many years of dreading the "car-buying experience." I hope we can work something out when the lease is up three years from now. More
I purchased a used Lexus on line from Canada and John Patten at the Dealership made the whole purchasing and import process a very smooth experience. From my very first call with John right up to the de Patten at the Dealership made the whole purchasing and import process a very smooth experience. From my very first call with John right up to the delivery of my vehicle, he was extremely helpful and informative. Even since I arrived home, John has been helping me learn more about the options available on the Lexus RX350. I would not hesitate to recommend John and Berlin City to my friends and family. More
