The follow up work to get our purchase ( 2 helpful. Price and willingness to work with us was very good. The facility is very neat and comfortable. The follow up work to get our purchase ( 2009 Malibu) ready and the minor parts replaced to meet our requests were carried out exactly as we had discussed at purchase, a service I have never seen before at other dealerships. I will and have already recommended this dealer to friends and family. More
let me start by saying im a very busy person and normally wouldnt take the time to write that i was happy with my car buying experience. BUT this wasnt just buying a new car, this was much more personal for wouldnt take the time to write that i was happy with my car buying experience. BUT this wasnt just buying a new car, this was much more personal for me. I went to bertera after making phone calls to several dealers looking to trade in my motorcycle for a truck, as sometimes life changes and could no longer afford the bike. i was completely upside down in the loan for not putting any down, i work for myself and had no pay stubs to show, but did have a good credit rating. i explained all this to every dealer and three responded. one said they could give me a maximum of 2500 for my bike(ha), another dealer wouldnt even take it after i mentioned the negative equity. it was imperative that i purchased a truck before winter and also to get out of my horrible motorcycle loan (19.9%) dont fall for intro rates! nonetheless i asked for 4000 for my bike in trade(shooting a little high i thought), and after calling a few places told me they were happy to tell me they could offer me 4500. and im no dummy, that was well above nada and kbb value. of course this was welcomed news, and i checked out a few trucks. i came back the next day with my bike and they crunched and twisted the numbers until we were all blue in the face, but finally were able to get me into a really nice truck, for exactly what i wanted to pay a month, and my rate went down to 7.9%. they WILL go the extra mile to make a sale, i highly recommed this dealer to anyone. and trust me i have dealt with my share of car and motorcycle dealers, these guys are straight shooters and dont have any incentive to nickel and dime you. so they dont. i will be forever thankful that i was able to get out of that crazy bike loan and now have a reliable 4X4 truck. they also were told that i needed the truck asap and they certainly did their part, even giving me a loaner for a few days while i waited for my title to come in. do yourself a favor and go talk to matt, you wont be disappointed More
My wife needed a new car. After searching the internet and local dealers for months, and being told that we were "un-financeable", we came across a car at Bertera that was priced well below everyone else. and local dealers for months, and being told that we were "un-financeable", we came across a car at Bertera that was priced well below everyone else. After waiting a few weeks (for money to come in) we drove 1-1/2 hours to go check it out. It was (is) absolutely gorgeous. Long story short, Trevor helped get us into a car we love at a price we can afford. He stayed long after closing time to make sure that we were taken care of. They even worked out a deal with us when there was trouble getting the title for our trade. We want to thank Trevor and everyone else that stayed late and worked hard to get us the car we needed!

I was looking for a newer car for my commute to school and back. I needed a car that was safe and reliable. I decided to go to Bertera Chevrolet Pontiac Buick in Palmer, MA. This was the best decision tha and back. I needed a car that was safe and reliable. I decided to go to Bertera Chevrolet Pontiac Buick in Palmer, MA. This was the best decision that I made for my vehicle needs. I met Trevor Smart, who from beginning to end was a professional and friendly salesman. I highly recommend Trevor to anyone looking for a vehicle. I was limited to what I could buy because of my inexperience with credit, but Trevor made it possible to find a newer car that was not only safe and reliable but fit my budget. I am still very grateful to what this dealership has done for me. All of the staff was very friendly and made you feel comfortable. I highly recommend this dealership and Trevor in your search for a vehicle. More
I drove 2 hours to buy a specific vehicle that they told me was available and when I arrived for my appointment it had already been sold. The mistake seemed genuine, but I still left there very dissapointed me was available and when I arrived for my appointment it had already been sold. The mistake seemed genuine, but I still left there very dissapointed. They called to apologize, blah, blah, just not a good dealership experience for me. More
Bad experience so far at this dealer to deal with, customer service is bad I have seen at a dealership. I expect this at a used car dealer but not at a dealership like this. Made me waste 5 hours goi customer service is bad I have seen at a dealership. I expect this at a used car dealer but not at a dealership like this. Made me waste 5 hours going back and forth on a deal. Then had to spend hours more to get my plates back and still dont know if I am going to be able to get out of the deal now that i am losing my job. Would not recommend to anyone unless they let me get out of deal. More
Brought my car in for check engine light - the price for service was $400 above what was quoted. And now, THREE DAYS LATER, the light is back on for what I suspect is the same reason. I will NEVER go to t service was $400 above what was quoted. And now, THREE DAYS LATER, the light is back on for what I suspect is the same reason. I will NEVER go to this dealer again - shoddy work and horrible attitudes from the employees. More
My experience with Bertera and Trevor was wonderful. He listened to my needs and did not just speak to my husband. It was a car for me so he listened to me. He put me into a Jeep Grand Chreokee and gave me listened to my needs and did not just speak to my husband. It was a car for me so he listened to me. He put me into a Jeep Grand Chreokee and gave me a lesson on all the features and was very knowledgeable about the vehichle. My family and I enjoyed working with Trevor and would recommed him and Betera to anyone who asks.Trevor gave me a tour of the whole dealership and I was impressed with how clean the service area/body shop/ and waiting areas are. Thanks again Trevor and the Bertera Team Karen More
I bought a 2004 Isuzu Rodeo from Bertera Chevrolet. I was extremely impressed upon driving up to the dealership, and was immediately greeted at the door. I had done my research and essentially knew which veh extremely impressed upon driving up to the dealership, and was immediately greeted at the door. I had done my research and essentially knew which vehicle I wanted to purchase, but I was still impressed with the timely manner in which I walked into the dealership and drove out with my new car. I live on the Cape and had mechanical issues a short time after purchase. My muffler began to rot a bit, causing a hole in my muffler, which made it very loud and unsafe due to emissions. I took a chance and called Bertera to tell them about my issue, thinking that I would be told that I was well past the warantee and they would be unable to help me, or would request that I had to drive from Cape Cod to Palmer to repair it. However, I could not have been more wrong. After speaking with Bertera and discussing my repair, they allowed me to get my car fixed on the Cape, and they sent me a full reimbursement check within days of calling them. Economic times are tough, and Bertera was an enormous help during this time. It is nice to know that they not only care about their cars, but also the people driving them. I would recommend Bertera as the sales staff were extremely professional and they took care of issues immediately upon receipt of my phone call.I highly recommend Bertera of Palmer and will definitely be going back there to buy my next car! ~Jaime F.

After emailing and speaking with Bob on a Sunday, we nade the trip to Palmer (which is an hour and a half away). It was never mentioned to us that the dealership closed at 4. We discovered this when we che the trip to Palmer (which is an hour and a half away). It was never mentioned to us that the dealership closed at 4. We discovered this when we checked out the website on the way up. We called Bob to say that we running a little past 4 and he told us to "come on down...we'll see what we can do". We had made it clear that we were not tire kickers. We went there in our trade, check in hand (we didn't even need financing). We knew the car we wanted and were going to make it happen right there. When we arrived at 4:10, there was still solid activity in the showroom and the lot. When we went inside, it was the most uncomfortable atmosphere and there was an employee who appeared to be some type of manager pacing the showroom. After standing there awkwardly for 5 minutes being ignored, my husband approached him and explained our situation. The man said "Bob left and the rest of the salespeople are with finishing with customers." And then walked away! My husband was done at that point but as we exited, A J asked if we had been helped. He was the only bright spot in our visit. My husband explained the situation again and asked if a Used Car Manager could look at the trade and the rest we could probably do by phone. He went into the Business Manager's office (where the other guy who's job apparently was to make people uncomfortable was lurking as well) and he was clearly annoyed with A J's request. AJ came out and said no one could help us but when could we come back. We told him never and left. We understand that no one likes to work Sundays but it's part of the sales week and we were customers ready to buy. My husband has been in the business for more than a decade and he commmented that he has never turned away a customer. Bertera must be doing very well to turn away business and treat potential customers with such disregard. More
