After having paid off my used car, I realized it was time to get something else since it was costing me more in gas and insurance than it was worth; I loved it, but money is money. I did my research on Nissa to get something else since it was costing me more in gas and insurance than it was worth; I loved it, but money is money. I did my research on Nissan's, Hyundai's, Mazda's, Ford's, and everything that would put my finances back in the positive per month. Kim was an excellent salesman and there was no pressure - just facts and lot's of cars. My only concern was the original price they gave me for my car - but they quickly gave me $500 more than what the last dealer offered me since they wanted me business - it's their job to make profit and my job to pay as little as possible, so no faults to anyone. Hyundai had the best price for what I was interested in (miles per tank in gas, monthly payments, comfort/safety) and Kim made it all work with his manager, Brian. The dealership and Kim were both very transparent and I left feeling good. I later realized my cousin also bought her car at Bernardi and had a similarly positive experience. I'll be honest, a nearby Nissan dealer was high pressure, used many logical fallacies to convince me that the numbers were the best they could do (and even passive-aggressively insulted me when I called them out on it!), and probably turned me off from Nissan all together. Bernardi and the salesman, Kim, treated me much better and I truly believe they would treat everyone that way since they had no idea I spent all morning at other dealerships. All in all, well done Kim and Bernardi. I enjoy my Hyundai Sonata and would recommend Kim to others. More
When I walked up to Allan Palmer, told him what I was looking for and how much I was willing to spend, I assumed he'd have me test-driving about 10 cars and haggling prices. I was wrong. He pulled up in looking for and how much I was willing to spend, I assumed he'd have me test-driving about 10 cars and haggling prices. I was wrong. He pulled up in the EXACT vehicle I wanted; I knew it as soon as I saw it. He knew that I knew and that I didn't want to let on....make sense? I asked him for the price which was about 2 grand more than I wanted to spend but ha, ha(!) Mr. Palmer was NOT dealing with some amateur I thought. My Samsung Galaxy S III would whip up Blue-Book value in seconds. He must've seen the glean in my eye or huge touch-screen cell phone in my pocket; my tapping finger twitching because he attached a dealer-plate and told me to take it for a drive. Waiting for him to hop in, he acquiesced and said he'd meet me back at the dealership. "Wow", I thought. "This guy is good!!" But I'm no dummy and no one separates me from my money without just cause. I'll just take this rather beautiful 4-wheel drive, SUV, 6 cylinder Ford Escape in Champagne color, which comes with remote starter and 6 CD player, for a quick jaunt on the highway, stop at the store real quick, and return looking disappointed. Who knew that a mid-sized, 4-wheel drive SUV was also a scream-machine on the highway?!! Finding nothing at all to complain about there, I pulled off and decided to open the sun-roof because we were experiencing some unexpected beautiful weather; sunny, balmy, xxxx!! I had to remind myself of the anomaly; this is Massachusetts after-all. Upon my return trip to the dealership, I was then overcome by a sense of empowerment from the "tallness" of sitting high up above all the other puny vehicles. Looking down upon them, I envisioned myself "Queen of the Road". But no, I couldn't let Allan see that. In retrospect, I have to laugh. Allan has been doing this for a long time. He knows his stuff which includes complete honesty. A 'CARFAX' report was already printed out and waiting for me back at the dealership. It was the end of the month and Allan was more interested in submitting big numbers (cars sold). This vehicle was a trade-in he explained. Typically, the trade-in vehicle is assessed and in most cases, sent to auction. Some however, are worthwhile to resell subsequent to a little maintenance. Which is the reason, Allan explained, that a Hyuandai dealer was selling a Ford SUV. Well this was unexpected I mused. Dang!! Sadly, I pocketed my Samsung and got down to "brass tacks". "How much Allan?" "I'm paying cash so I can go anywhere and there's lots of places to go". No way can he make this work; there's no way. Between Allan's knack for people-assessing and Sean's innate ability with numbers as well as the many other Bernardi-Hyuandai employees, including the omni-present "Joey D", I drove outta there the next morning (too late in the day for the RMV "runner") with my DIVO CD screaming, "Rainbow in the Dark". That was three weeks ago and as I sit here in the beautiful Bernardi-Hyuandai dealership, equipped with Wi Fi and free lunch having PUMA (ya, I named her Puma...) serviced, at no cost to me, (driver-side strut and sway bar) Allan sees me and, with ready smile and handshake, comes over to say, "Hi". As if I weren't already impressed, he remembers my name! I'm a realist. Of course he could have checked the requisition list at the service desk...Hello? Just the fact that, if he did, I didn't see it leaves me with the sense of security that we all want when purchasing a vehicle. It only comes with dealing with a professional who knows his stuff, has been around for a long time, and would only be affiliated with an organization that will be here long after I'm gone. More
Roger the sales person was excellent and I would recommend him highly, as was Sean in financing. However, the GM, Brian, is not very good at dealing with people. Especially with someone who knows a recommend him highly, as was Sean in financing. However, the GM, Brian, is not very good at dealing with people. Especially with someone who knows a little about the business. When confronted with questions his only response was "This must not be the car for you" instead of conversing. He wanted us to leave. Also, they sold us a car that they didn't have a title for but didn't tell us until after our second trip back. How do you, as a GM, not know you don't have a title for a car you are selling??? After telling us on Monday that the title was being overnighted, it took until Thursday to get there. On Monday we were told the car would be delivered since we live almost 50 miles away and had made 2 trips already. Another lie!!! They brought the title down to be signed, but no car. Another trip for us. Also, instead of being there at 4:30 in the afternoon on Thursday, when we went to pick up the car, Brian had left already. I guess he didn't want to see if an unhappy customer had their issues resolved. He apparently doesn't care about people being satisfied. As a District Manager, if one of my GM's was this incompetent, his position would be reviewed. I am sorry to say that although the sales person was great, I will never recommend this dealership to anyone, I will do the opposite!!!!!!! More
I recently purchased my second Hyundai Elantra at Bernardi. The salesman, Allan Palmer, was exceptionally knowledgeable and helpful throughout the entire process.

Roger was such an amazing dealer. He really made us feel at home and we really were able to make an informed decision on our purchase. We were there around 12:30 and by around 1:30 we already knew which car at home and we really were able to make an informed decision on our purchase. We were there around 12:30 and by around 1:30 we already knew which car we were getting. We test drove three different cars and he was really patient with us and our decision. He tried giving us as much of a discount as possible and really didn't pressure us into anything so we were really comfortable with our price point and our choice. I would gladly go again to their dealership and I would gladly ask him to help us again. He made my husband's first car purchase really amazing and unforgettable. More
Intended on leasing a 2013 Hyundai Azera at Bernardi of Brockton and put down a $1000 "deposit" to hold the car for a day. leased my previous Sonata with them so thought I could deal with them on a good fa Brockton and put down a $1000 "deposit" to hold the car for a day. leased my previous Sonata with them so thought I could deal with them on a good faith verbal basis. Lost temporary faith in the deal for the Azera after seeing a conflicting price on their website Informed them I wanted to visit another dealer to confirm the Bernardi deal was good with the intention of coming back This caused the deal to go nasty in the salesmans view and the deposit now became a "non-refundable purchase and sale agreement" to dissuade me from researching at other dealerships Leased car at other dealership that day on the basis of this nastiness and attempt to dupe me. The confrontation didn't help either! Trying to recoup the deposit but being met with defiance. Hyundai Motor Finance and Attorney General also called them on my behalf but they met the same defiance and Bernardi are refusing to refund me. Good faith agreement eh? There goes my future business! Draw your own conclusions. Hope this is helpful to people. Btw some of these reviews are hilariously questionable. Would be interesting to track the IP address of the commenters...hmmmmm More
Being a first time car buyer I was a bit apprehensive going to any dealership. I wasn't aware of the environment and overall thought process that went into purchasing or leasing a car. It was all "Greek" going to any dealership. I wasn't aware of the environment and overall thought process that went into purchasing or leasing a car. It was all "Greek" to me to pretty much sum how I felt up. But - when I met Allan it didn't just seem like another transaction, it was all about my experience and how I felt. He not only worked with me, but two other family members (who bought cars the same day!), and actually listened to our wants and needs and most of all - budget. I appreciate the hours he spent going over the ins and outs and pretty much just talking to us like normal people. I would highly recommend seeing Allan - you will have a pleasurable experience and also leave happy with your purchase. He's not your average car salesmen - I can promise you that! I would like to add in how thoughtful and kind Miguel was as well. He definitely worked with out budget and made my 2013 Elantra affordable for me. I expected paying a lot more than I walked away with and for that I couldn't be more appreciative. Both Allan and Miguel are true assets to Bernardi. More

My wife and I were searching for a car for a while. We went to many dealerships and never went back a second time...until we stopped at Bernardi Hyundai. We were assisted by a very friendly and knowledgea went to many dealerships and never went back a second time...until we stopped at Bernardi Hyundai. We were assisted by a very friendly and knowledgeable salesman named Roger. He was really a pleasure to work with and was a big factor in our decision to return to this dealership, which is saying something since we live over 30 minutes away. I know buying a car freaks a lot of people out but i can honestly say that my experience at Bernardi, working with Roger and the team there was really great. If you are in the market for a car i would highly recommend takeing a drive to Bernardi Hyundai...but make sure you ask for Roger! Sincerely, John and Kristin More
