For me buying a car has always been stressful. I recently bought a vehicle at Flagship in Lynnfield and was pleasantly surprised; no stress at all. The negotiation was quick and painless.

I had visited a number of dealerships last month in search of a new car. However, as soon as I shopped at Flagship Motorcars of Lynnfield, I knew my search was over. All of the staff were extremely hel search of a new car. However, as soon as I shopped at Flagship Motorcars of Lynnfield, I knew my search was over. All of the staff were extremely helpful. From the people I talked to on the phone, to both my sales associate (Nick) and Gil in finance. Their customer service was outstanding as my sales associate even came to pick me up the day my new vehicle was ready. When we returned to the dealership, he took extra time to show me around and point out where I would bring the car if it needed to be serviced. He was also extremely knowledgable about my car and taught me many of the features that I wouldn't have known without reading the manual. Just an all around great car purchasing experience. Thank you all! More

Tai is very easy to work with and has called to check in on us a few times. The dealership is lucky to have him on their team. I was debating on whether or not to write about my experience as I do not on us a few times. The dealership is lucky to have him on their team. I was debating on whether or not to write about my experience as I do not want it to seem as if it was all negative however my overall experience was just OK. To start there was one mix up during the negotiation process of trading in my vehicle. This was at no fault of Tai’s. However it went from me knowing I was going to purchase my new vehicle right then and there versus needing additional time to think it over. I love my car but this just killed the experience for me all together. To add to the pressure the interest rate on a pre-owned vehicle at the time was running out at the end of the month and I was told it was the first time MB had offered such a low interest rate. However right now I am seeing the rate being offered at 3% lower than what I was locked into in February. Looks like I will be shopping for a new rate now. Additionally when it came time to have to register my car I was told I was not able to do this on my own and I had to pay $200 for a runner to do it for me the following day. I thought OK fine one less thing for me to have to do. However while I was signing the paperwork I was then asked to write out two blank checks for my car to be registered. I would imagine this is a bit unusual but they said their “check writing” person will not be in the following day so they needed the checks from me. I feel at that point I should have been able to register the vehicle myself as writing out blank checks is not something I was comfortable doing. I was told that this was company policy so basically I had no choice to write out the blank checks and pay $200 for a runner to do it. Once I picked up my vehicle I was contacted by a few different customer service reps by email and phone. When I tried to explain I had a question about a noise my car stereo was making the person I was speaking to told me she was not my “contact” customer service person and that I would need to call her when she was back in the office. OK fine, I did and that customer service rep said she was not my customer service person either. Needless to say I had made some calls, left some messages and have not heard back. My husband and I are fans of MB and plan to buy other MB vehicles in the future. I just hope we have a better experience next time we spend this kind of money on a car. More

Went to this dealer for a used 2005 Nissan 350Z 35th Anniversary Edition. Checked around Cars.com and Autotrader.com and found Herb Chambers' Smart Price was fair so I didn't try to negotiate. They did Anniversary Edition. Checked around Cars.com and Autotrader.com and found Herb Chambers' Smart Price was fair so I didn't try to negotiate. They did deduct additional $400 from the Smart Price due to the "internet coupon". I never had to present the coupon as that would seem stupid. But overall the price was pretty fair, if not a steal. Worked with Tai on the sales. Since I didn't need to negotiate, the transaction was pretty smooth. Tai was courteous and friendly. Answered all my questions and hooked me up with the Sirius radio. After that I moved to the Finance department and worked with Gil. Gil was pretty courteous too, but could be pushy in selling the extended warranty. No biggie, all dealers are like that. Walked out of the dealership within couple hours (including test drive). Picked up the car 3 days later. I am enjoying my car and this car-buying expensive so I would recommend Flagship Motors. More

Fantastic sales and service. I found the team at Herb Chambers to be very professional and helpful - everyone at the dealership was extremely courteous and friendly. This is my second experience with th Chambers to be very professional and helpful - everyone at the dealership was extremely courteous and friendly. This is my second experience with the Company - I have used Herb Chambers on several occassions for service (Somerville location) on a Mercedes I purchased in Dallas several years ago and now this purchase. I am very pleased with both experiences - I hope I can buy all my future cars from Stanley. If you value straightforward discussions and superior service, then Herb Chambers is the dealer for you.
