2008 and 2009 have been exciting years of new beginnings at The Herb Chambers Companies. Presently we have no less than seven new facilities under construction or renovation.

As New England’s largest factory authorized new vehicle dealer, our facilities are vital to everything we do, from our state of the art showrooms that showcase the industry’s latest vehicles to supremely comfortable and well equipped customer environments for vehicle shopping, service or parts.

Not unlike the latest vehicles, we want our dealerships to function incredibly well and make a great statement. We believe that customer satisfaction is enhanced by innovation, style, design, great values and plain old excitement.  Just like every one of our 28 brands each have their own distinct personality- -our newest facilities will as well and deliver all of these attributes and more when you shop at any one of our 45 showrooms.

Here’s a list of some of our newest facilities & current projects:
Our 45 existing dealerships enhanced by these new facilities, containing over 10,000 vehicles, staffed with over 1,600 hundred exceptional employees coupled with our steadfast commitment to 100% guest satisfaction– are all great reasons to say, if you’re looking for a new or pre-owned certified vehicle, @ Herb Chambers: “We’ve Got it!”
