Herb Chambers BMW of Boston

The rear brakes have been squealing for two months. Also, when I last took the car in, the service department (at a different dealership) had told me that the rear springs were broken and needed to be fixed under warranty.<br><br>I made an appointment two weeks back with Herb Chambers BMW to have these two problems addressed. I took the car in today and was told that if they looked at the car and "were not able to replicate the problem", I would have to pay for the costs of inspecting the car.<br><br>I proceeded to explain that the car was covered under the warranty & maintenance plan, the car had a problem, and they ought to diagnose and fix the problem free of charge. I was told that they would be unable to look at the car unless I agreed to pay the potential charge for the inspection.<br><br>Needless to say, I took my car and left. The worst part is that I bought the car from Herb Chambers too--and I have received much better service from other dealerships over the last two years.<br><br>I do hope that someone at BMW will take note of this matter. For those in the Boston area, I would suggest that you avoid the Herb Chambers service department if possible. They will waste your time and give you the run around. More

These guys are really good at presentation and customer service, but when it gets down to the selling you a car, they really rip you off. As far as car maintenance, they dont really care, they are all very service, but when it gets down to the selling you a car, they really rip you off. As far as car maintenance, they dont really care, they are all very excited and helpful but they wont even check your brake pads and will just hand the car back saying its perfect... I am sick and tired of them...thats why I changed and from now on I always take my car to peabody or Bmw Gallery Norwood... More

These Guys suck - sooooo horribly - Customer Service is not something they know - VBait and Switch is what they know best - if U want a good BMW dealership try BMW Peabody ... I decided to buy from them ev not something they know - VBait and Switch is what they know best - if U want a good BMW dealership try BMW Peabody ... I decided to buy from them even though they are miles away - and whats with the blantant LOgos they put on there Loaner cars - it is just sooo tacky. Mercedes does no such thing - actually BMW peabody will give u a decent Loaner with no ads on it - but this place...! U heard me! More

Great dealer. Every time I visit, I am greeted warmly and any issues I have are taken care of with efficiency and the utmost respect. <br><br>I bought my car from Vad Friedland, and he walked me through the any issues I have are taken care of with efficiency and the utmost respect. <br><br>I bought my car from Vad Friedland, and he walked me through the entire process slowly, and all in one day. I got my 330i for MSRP, and he threw in clear sides, and indicators, gratis! He himself drives a 330ci, so he is very familiar with the car, and informed me of any issues to look out for. Two days after I signed the papers I was driving my 2003 330i.<br>After I negotiated the purchase with Vad, I was off to take care of financing with Vien Ton, he was very friendly, and did everything under his power to keep my monthly payments under $500, via really low rates. It took him a while to search for the best financier, and found what I needed. Super guys and great to deal with. <br> I recently had my first service, and I was in and out in about an hour. They offered a loaner, but it wasn't necessary. The tech took the time to field any and all questions, and even answered some that I hadn't thought of. He also helped with some modification questions, and was enthused about my ideas of making my car perform better. <br>So far, I've only had one issue with this dealer, the parts department. These guys need to get their act together. I have special ordered a number of things from them, and they never call to tell me when things are in. Also, when I do call, they've said that the parts are in, and when I arrive, the parts mysteriously disappear, or were never ordered to begin with. Overall, that's a minor complaint. I think I'll always be happy with Herb. Chambers that is :) More

I got my 2003 M3 from Herb. From my first visit to the dealership until my final purchase there was a 2 month gap. During that period, Vien in sales contacted me continuously wanting my business. After l dealership until my final purchase there was a 2 month gap. During that period, Vien in sales contacted me continuously wanting my business. After literately shopping around the entire state, Vien was able to offer me the best deal and the fastest delivery time. Most importantly, the purchasing process took 30 minutes max with minimum negotiation. I highly recommend this salesman to anyone that is in the market for a BMW. However, I personally have not experienced their service department yet, wait for my follow up when I go for my 1200 mile service. More

The first time I went there, the salesperson I dealt with (I forgot the name) was totally uninformed of the European Delivery program and not interested in getting information.<br>I went back a week later to (I forgot the name) was totally uninformed of the European Delivery program and not interested in getting information.<br>I went back a week later to see if they were willing to match an offer I had from another dealership farther from my home. I spoke with a different salesperson who went to the sales manager who was not interested.<br>Definetly a place I will not go back to. More
