My Review Of Herb Chambers Lexus:
After wrecking my car in an accident last year, I was in the market for a new 2013 GS350 and was looking for nearly every option available like ML Sound, Pre-Collision System, Lane Keep Assist etc. and was also looking for a really nice deal . After talking to almost every dealer in New England ( and I am not kidding here), I talked to Mr. Spero Coston at Herb Chambers Lexus and ended up placing the custom order through him. It takes about 4.5 months for Lexus to manufacture and ship a custom order from Japan and based on my 4.5 months of interaction with the dealership , I can safely say that Herb Chambers Lexus ( and more specifically, Mr Coston) are among the best of the best in terms of the overall Lexus purchase experience. Before I tell you why I have reached that conclusion , let me tell you what I experienced at some of the other dealerships in the area.. Lexus of Warwick( Arrogant, Rude behavior ... I was told that they close in 45 mins so I should make an appointment before I come in ) ... Lexus of Northborough ( The ES was more within my price range and and they could work with me to make that happen..even though I wanted the GS), Balise Lexus ( They wouldn't like to place any custom orders and I could pick a car that they had in stock ), Lexus of Watertown (Probably the worst of them all ... I wasted over 2 hours of my time and drove (more than 50 miles each way) to their dealership with my 7 month pregnant wife at that time because I was told over the phone that they had over $4500 in Christmas incentives that I qualified for but I needed to come down that evening.. and after 2 hours of negotiation ,they apologized that I was given inaccurate information and I never found out the price they were willing to sell the GS for).
Mr Spero Coston treated me with respect from the moment I walked in . There were no games , he told me the price he could offer me the car for and it was a fantastic offer for a custom order. I am sure I could have done better if I had picked up a car that they had in the lot but I have not found a better offer in New England area for a custom GS. He was very honest about the time-frame for a custom order and how painful the wait can be (which I totally understand now ). At one point during the four and a half month process, he actually responded to my email even though he was on vacation . Last but not the least , when I finally took the delivery of the car, Mr Coston was supposed to leave for the day at 5:30pm but stayed on for more than 2 hours after his shift ended just to make sure that I was able to drive the car home that day and made sure that he explained all the new features of my car. To me , that is going above and beyond in customer service.
I highly recommend Herb Chambers Lexus and Mr Coston and wlll definitely return here for my future Lexus needs(and btw, I think that the 4.5 month wait was worth it for my dream car... the GS is absolutely phenomenal).
