However, a little later, Tim Inslip arrived and assisted me with such kindness and professionalism. Tim is definitely one of the best employees this company has; if you go there, try to get Tim to help you.......you will not be desappointed More

I would strongly caution anyone considering buying a vehicle from Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk. I purchased a 2018 Honda Accord Sport for approximately $24,000. Just seven days after taking it home, vehicle from Herb Chambers Honda of Seekonk. I purchased a 2018 Honda Accord Sport for approximately $24,000. Just seven days after taking it home, the car suddenly shut off while I was driving, and every warning light on the dashboard came on. The vehicle had to be towed back to the dealership, where I was told it needed a head gasket. They replaced it under my warranty, but I was without my car for a month and a half after owning it for only a week. A few months later, the exact same problem happened again. Once again, I was told it was the head gasket, and they replaced it under warranty. At that point, I asked if they could replace the engine instead because it was clear something more serious might be causing the repeated failures. I was told that replacing the engine was not necessary. Unfortunately, the same issue happened a third time. Once again, the dealership replaced the head gasket under warranty instead of addressing the underlying problem. Now, over a year later, the exact same issue has happened for a fourth time. The difference is that my warranty has expired. This time, the dealership is finally telling me they recommend replacing the engine because they "don't know what's causing the head gasket to keep failing." Ironically, this is exactly what I asked them to do from the beginning, but now they want me to pay $8,000 out of pocket for a used engine with 65,000 miles on it. From my experience, I feel the dealer knew from the beginning it was the motor and repeated temporary repairs only until my warranty expired. I trusted the dealership's recommendations, and now I'm left with an enormous repair bill for an issue I raised long ago. If you're shopping for a vehicle, I recommend thinking carefully before purchasing from this dealership. My experience has been incredibly frustrating, all the back and forth with lack of communication on their end. I wouldn't want someone else to go through what I've been dealing with! More

The most important aspect of Herb Chambers Honda/Seekonk is that they are HONEST. They never lie to me nor do they push their own agenda. They allow me to make my own choices, which I love. Also, their s is that they are HONEST. They never lie to me nor do they push their own agenda. They allow me to make my own choices, which I love. Also, their service team is top notch. Again, they do not push anything on me. I make my own decisions about when and how much I want to do at any time, but I know to listen when they suggest that a repair is necessary. I have now bought 4 cars with them over the years, and, when I decide to buy another, they are my first choice. PS: Tim Islip in Service always give me sound advice. I love working with him! More
