Herb Chambers MINI of Boston

I walked in there to buy a Porsche, some things happened and the deal fell through. Not only was Ian courteous enough to pay for gas for my wasted hour and a half drive, on top of offering any beverage shor and the deal fell through. Not only was Ian courteous enough to pay for gas for my wasted hour and a half drive, on top of offering any beverage short of alcohol, but he sat down with me for 45 minutes while we priced out every other car in the chain. After a little coercing, Ian got me to finally take a ride with Norm in a yellow MINI...I fell in love. After hearing the immense knowledge and love that Norm brought to the test drive, i decided the search for the new brand was over, i went with MINI. We got back, after again them offering us drinks or anything thing my girlfriend and i wanted, we searched for a faster, not yellow, MINI. We found my 05 Black Cooper S in Burlington and they went to work ordering it up here. Norm worked with me over the next two days on financing so that i was able to sit here and type this today because he did his best to show me the environment that i wanted to buy a vehicle in. It was only because Ian showed me the way, and Norm took my down the path that i went from owning 4 American muscle cars in 5 years, to buying a MINI. Gotta give a shout out to Marcelo as well, he was great comic relief and made standing around or browsing even half enjoyable. He was a pleasure to be around. I also received the car spotless, with a filed tank, and Norm even hooked me up with a key chain. I write this letter because it's tough to get service like this from anywhere, let alone a car dealership. I would love to work with you guys again, and will i'm sure in the near future. Thanks guys!

Greetings. My name is Juan Guillermo Uribe Rubio, Architect on Beacon Hill. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott Poirier for his most outstanding service and devotion to me and my Architect on Beacon Hill. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Scott Poirier for his most outstanding service and devotion to me and my car. Not only did I receive a fantastic service but also I have a knowleadgeable friend who advises me on Minis and BMWs. With all due respect to the Sales Department, I firmly believe that if there were more Scotts in this world and in the Sales Department, more automobiles would be sold and longer relationships would be established. If it wasnt for Scott, I sincerely would not dare to either purchase another car or follow through with service at this dealer. His attention to detail and customer service are qualities that not only make him excel as a person but make Herb Chambers of Boston a great dealer. Once again, hint hint for the Sales Department. Please feel free to contact me at anytime. Thank you for your time.

We recently purchased a used 2007 Mini Cooper for my wife from Herb Chambers Mini. We were helped by Rich Tran. He was very helpful right from the time of sales to post-purchase. He was very honest about from Herb Chambers Mini. We were helped by Rich Tran. He was very helpful right from the time of sales to post-purchase. He was very honest about all specifics about the car (overall condition, defects if any, etc.) and explained all details thoroughly. It was very refreshing to see someone not adding the sales pressure on you. He took care of the paperwork, and even did some paint touchups and maintenance for free. We were very happy with the service we received here. We went over for some maintenance and received prompt service; only what was required, was performed on the car. We also got a flexible extension on the car's bumper-2-bumper warranty, without any hassle. The initial deposit required to hold the car was returned promptly as well. Ask for Rich, he knows his Minis well. More

I moved to Boston last year and I was bumping up against the 36K mile, end of warranty period. With 35,851 miles on the odometer, I checked out the reviews for Herb Chamber, Mini of Peabody, and the Mini the 36K mile, end of warranty period. With 35,851 miles on the odometer, I checked out the reviews for Herb Chamber, Mini of Peabody, and the Mini dealer in Rhode Island, as they're all equidistant. What I saw were lots of negative reviews for each, which was not confidence building. Hey, it's the web! Even so, I hate to choose from the least of three evils. I decided to go to Herb Chambers Mini. It was a bit closer, and I figured they have volume, which suggested to me that any odd repairs might be easier there. I had to wait about four days to get an appointment that allowed them to give me a loaner. I arrived first thing in the morning, and was greeted by Scott Poirier, Mini Service Advisor. He was great! He knew what I needed, reviewed the work plan with me, and gave me the option of a new Clubman or a Cooper convertible to use as the loaner. Summer? Convertible! After a dash around town in the loaner, I was back at the shop in about 5 hours. That was oil, brake pads, rotors, and an exterior detail. The work was done quickly, the car was clean, and the price was right. The bill totaled $75, and that was for the wax. Everything else slipped in right under the warranty. Here's what else I liked: I knew my tires were getting close, but instead of changing them and added hundreds to the bill, they examined them closely and told me I still had 5K left on them. Seems pretty honest to me. All in all, a good initial visit. More

I recently leased my second Mini at Herb Chambers of Boston. Everything about the experience was positive. They honored the advertised special of 2K down and $199 a month for 39 months. The finance depa Boston. Everything about the experience was positive. They honored the advertised special of 2K down and $199 a month for 39 months. The finance department got me an excellent rate. I paid less for the 2010 Mini than the 2007 Mini I leased three years ago. Salesman Rich Tran is enthusiastic and patient. He worked with me to find exactly what I wanted. With the help of sales manager Ian Miller I got my dream car under budget and with extra features. Over the past three years I have also received excellent treatment from the service department. Mini BMW has the best maintenance program for new or leased cars. Oil changes are included along with free roadside assistance. I Love my Car!!!! More

My husband and I went specifically to Herb Chambers MINI to meet with Rich Tran at the glowing recommendation of friends who have been loyal customers through 3 Mini leases. Rich made us feel at home from to meet with Rich Tran at the glowing recommendation of friends who have been loyal customers through 3 Mini leases. Rich made us feel at home from the beginning. He obviously is an expert in all things MINI. This made the whole process - from test drive to purchase - extremely easy. After I returned from a test drive on Comm Ave feeling unnerved by the hectic city traffic, Rich drove out to Belmont the next day so I could test drive a car in my familiar environs. Rich's care and attention impressed us. We found the "finance guys" helpful, too - especially Azi. We are thankful to our friends for recommending Rich and MINI. We're delighted with our new MINI Cooper Clubman and will recommend the team at Herb Chambers MINI in Boston to our friends and colleagues! More

From the start, our experience at Herb Chambers was very different from that at most dealerships. We came in late on a Saturday looking to test drive a Clubman without going through a lot of the typical car different from that at most dealerships. We came in late on a Saturday looking to test drive a Clubman without going through a lot of the typical car-salesman hassle. We were introduced to Rich Tran, and he was pleasant, knowledgeable and very accommodating. That alone sets him apart from 90% of the auto salespeople I've ever met. Richard assisted me in getting a good deal on the car we wanted, and his manager Ian Miller was also accommodating in trying to get to my number. Then, when I had a question about the financing, Rich arranged for a business manager there explain it to me patiently until I was satisfied. Rich's calls to me were always to answer questions, never to pressure me on a decision. On the day we went to pick up the car there was bad traffic and we were running late. Rich waited for us past the closing time to go through all the features of the car (which he knows inside and out), never once showing impatience at the fact that we were keeping him late. Rich is a man who loves what he sells and cares about his customers. Kudos also to Azi Parvez who patiently explained all the financing details of the Select plan, and who made us feel like valued customers throughout the transaction. After I purchased the car I received calls from both Rich and Marcel the next day to make sure everything was good and that all my questions had been answered. Thank you for an overall great experience. More

This is an updated review about a previous experience. This is an updated review about a previous experience. After numerous problems with sales over an option that was supposed to be installed in my ca This is an updated review about a previous experience. After numerous problems with sales over an option that was supposed to be installed in my car, but wasn't, then was installed without being hooked to the electrical system, then when it didn't work, brought back and uninstalled, and told it could NEVER have been retrofitted into a new car, I got a call call from General Manager, Melissa Steffy. Between Melissa and the fabulous service manager, Mark, the initial experience with Herb Chambers has changed 180º. She listened to my concerns, checked back, compensated me for my trouble. Mark, in service, is the consummate professional, and I feel great about the service my MINI will get there. I heard this from other friends who have MINIs - that the Service Department at HC is excellent, and so far that is my experience. My only wish is that Sales will move to the same level of professionalism as the rest of the team. More

Richard Tran sold me , or I should say, assisted me in purchasing my 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman. I never felt or heard the standard sales lingo, only expert information from a man that has been selling Min purchasing my 2010 Mini Cooper Clubman. I never felt or heard the standard sales lingo, only expert information from a man that has been selling Mini's since 202 and personally owns one. If it were not for Rich and his friendly approach in helping me selct the right car for my needs I might not have purchased on the spot. Additionally, Rich followed up with me all the way throught the process and made sure I fully understood all the features the car has to offer. After buying cars for 40 years, I must say Rich is the best car salesperson I can recall dealing with. This is also the 4th car I have purchased form Herb Chambers and the dealerships have been great! Joel Swartz More
