Sorry I missed this before (I don't watch the NE forum much, I guess). I dealt with Vinny Pintone as my primary CA. But there were a couple of times that I was busy and Kevin took me for a test drive instead. Vin McCauley helped out some too, when they were trying to steal my "in production" car from another dealer.

Overall, I liked everyone there. No pressure, very helpful. Eventually, I'd show up and Vinny would just give me a set of keys for a test drive.

I used to visit Herb Chambers Honda for service. And I dealt with them some when I was helping a friend with car shopping. I know the brand makes a difference, but their sales people always rubbed me the wrong way. And I never heard good things about BMW there either.

amy!

p.s. if you care, I noticed in another thread that Herb Chambers puts a dealer badge on the car. Peabody just gives you a plate holder.
