Default Porsche Westwood in Massachusetts?

Just putting out feelers to see if anyone has had any dealings with them? Good people, great, bad, ugly? Avoid like the plague?

Thanks!

I know nothing about the dealership as a whole, but I do know one of the sales guys there personally, because he formerly worked at Porsche of Nashua (NH). I did not buy my 991 through him, but I got to know him pretty well afterwards, which in and of itself says something good. His name is Jamie Chomo. However, since I've never set foot in the place, I know nothing of the others working there. They may all be fine to work with.

I have to say overall that I've never heard anything bad about this dealership, but I live north of Boston, so there are sure to be other people in this forum who will be better able to advise you. You won't have to give up anything by going there to gain a sense of how they operate. Best of luck.

Tried to buy a car from them once, after initial call (me calling them), sales guy never got back to me. Called again, no reply. I moved on. Maybe just a bad sales rep...

Thanks for the input, guys. Just wanted to make sure this dealership was not one to absolutely avoid.

I bought my 991.1 C2S there in Sept. Jeff Akasten was my salesman, and a really nice guy. Apparently he left soon after I bought my car; he is now the sales manager at Porsche Norwell.

Feel free to PM me if you have any specific questions. I might be down in the area in the next week or two if you need eyes on a car.

I have also dealt with Jeff Akensten through I did not buy a vehicle from him. He's been selling Porsche's (and Volkwagon's before) since the early 80's I believe. Pretty straight forward in my dealings with him. If you have the option to go to Norwell and work with Jeff or if North of Boston is possible try Dave Corbin at Porsche Burlington. I purchased my 2013 through Dave.

I bought three cars from them. I worked with Mike Lookner. He was fantastic to deal with. I have talked with Jeff and he seemed Like a nice guy to deal with. Their new facility is awesome. If your looking for something special, Mike can find it. I've had very good experiences with their service Dept also.
I highly recommend them.

Pretty good dealership. Went with a fellow 997 owner to look at a 991.1 S. ok deal. Nothing great. Not impressed with their GM. Considering they were trying hard to sell me the car the GM couldn't be bothered to even step out and say hi. Ended up buying my car from Herb Chambers Boston.
