My fiance and I bought a car here in December of 08, nicely kept Audi A4 with really low milage, clean one owner carfax report for just barely under the KBB value of this model in excellent condition. FIrst I would like to say Daniel and his team there were really great to work with in purchasing the vehicle, even went so far as registering it at RMV and picking up my fiance to bring her to the Credit Union to sign the paperwork since we had no vehicle at the time. Witin a month of purchasing the vehicle the check engine light came on, and we brought back to them and they did something (not really sure what cause they never told me) and it was "fixed". Since then every month the check engine light has come on, and then gone off and then come on etc... When we just brought it in to the Audi dealership for its 45,000 mile maintenance this week the check engine light came back on. Turns out this car had been in an accident that wasnt reported... the gaurds on the front wheel well were being held in place by sheet rock screws, the passenger side of the bumper was being held up by the same screws. Additionally the underside of the forced airflow tube was missing, 7 fuses were missing including the ones for ABS brake system, airbags, fourway flashers, and fog lights... Second big problem, there was a small transmission fluid leak, and some of the gaskets needed replacing to stop a small oil leak... I admitt it is my fault for not being a certified mechanic and trusting when they said it had been inspected and put the inspection sticker on the vehicle... but the car wont pass inspection without half that stuff being fixed... so now Im stuck with a $1396 bill to get the car to the condition they said it was when I bought it. All in all: great people good service, but be sure to bring the car to a better mechanic and have it insected before buying it from these guys.

I purchased a 2001 BMW 330xi from this place back in late October of 2009. Since then i have had more than $5,000 in repairs. And i am not talking about regular maintenance but about very expensive parts that had been masked in order to not see the problems. After picking up the car, i noticed that the car was not leveled and steering was malfunctioning, emergency brake did not work (on a manual car!!!!) So i contacted Peter the owner who told me that he could only check the E brake as the other parts were not covered by the warranty... had to leave the car for more than a week for them to adjust the E brake cable... Once i picked up the car the E brake still was not working and for some reason they had not even addressed any of the other issues. After contacting Peter back he told me that since the vehicle had passed the MA state inspection i was stuck with it and he would not consider anything (take car back or help with repairs). I also was told by a repiutable shop in Gloucester that the car had been in an accident which had not been reported as well... Too many things for me, and i am not in a position to afford a lawyer right now to go after this company. Beware of them, very poor unqualified service and the never got back to me once they understood that i was upset. Since purchase of this vehicle (not even 3 months ago) i have had to spend over $4,700 in repairs all of them of EXTREMELY URGENT IMPORTANCE!!!!! I do not recommend this seller or his mechanics (who in addition of not knowing what they are doing are rude). Beverly Farms Motors is to be AVOIDED

Peter the owner will tell you anything to buy a car. I bought an 2002 Audi from him with the agreement that he would do the timing belt service. His mechanic didnt know what he was doing and over-tightened the timing belt, causing a couple rollers to collapse. On top of that, he did not replace the water pump while doing the timing belt service (anyone who has done a timing belt on an Audi knows that you do the water pump at the same time). All of this had to be fixed by another shop by the tune of $4,000+. Peter (owner of Beverly Farms Motors) refused to pay the bill and claimed the other shop (that i have been going to for years and know the owner) was trying to rip me off. Also, other smaller items that were to be fixed before I picked the car up were masked to seem like they were fixed when in-fact they were not at all. Example: a new antenna because the one on there was not factory, Beverly Farms solution: heat shrink wrap to make it look OEM. Another example: drivers side mirror (safety issue) was broken, Beverly Farms Motors solution: cheap Wal-Mart mirror crudely cut out and pasted over the OEM broken mirror. DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND BUY A CAR SOMEWHERE ELSE!!

Stay clear!!! I bought an Audi,S4 here, not only is it a complete lemon, but, the owner Pete, showed me fake vehicle history maintenance as well as a doctored car fax report. After 10 months of battling with him to refund my money, I finally get fed up and decide to trade this lemon of a car in for a new car at a reputable trustworthy dealer.... Come to find out, the car was totaled in an accident in NYC with unibody/frame damage... Salvage vehicle. That was sold at auction and announced at auction of the unibody/frame damage.... He sold it to me for double the book value by telling me this was HIS personal car and its hard to let her go!!!and showed me over $12,000 worth of vehicle history maintenance and NONE if had ever been done. Hes a fraud, a liar, and a con man who will do everything to the bare minimum to make it look like he works with you, when in all reality hes well know to the Beverly police department.... I didnt even need to say his name, they knew it. Be very very careful, do yourself a favor, go elsewhere.

Purchased a Porsche Cayenne for a great price! Pete and his staff at Beverly Farms motors were able to locate and purchase an excellent, high-end and hard to find vehicle via online auction at a great price. Pete was able to locate the car in under a week and had it delivered that weekend. His staff prepped and detailed the car. The process was hassle free and I was impressed with the professionalism of the team. Before purchasing the vehicle and having it shipped, Pete had the car thoroughly checked at the other end by an inspection service. The purchase price was much lower than similar vehicles available locally and far superior in condition, even after inspection, servicing, etc. I would recommend Pete to anyone looking for a vehicle in Massachusetts. I am a long time customer and purchase all of my vehicles through Beverly Farms Motors.

We actually shopped this small but prestigious dealership several times and each time I hesitated and each time a few days later the late model BMW we were looking at they sold. But that was my fault and Pete the owner was correct that these mint cars with low mileage dont last too long. Anyway, they have a nice inventory of mostly later model cars in excellent shape as Peter the owner showed me his repair shop and certified techs. Most of their business is repeat which says something very positive about the way they do business. They also will finance your car right there with very low rates. Impressive place but if you see a car you like, dont wait on it like I did twice.
