My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewI had a bad experience with Atamian Honda. Based on my only interaction with Atamian Honda, my advice is that you cannot trust what they tell you (either as a result of incompetence, duplicity, or both on their part).
I present the facts of my story, and you can judge how it reflects on Atamian Honda.
I was in the market for a Honda Fit. The trim and color I wanted was in short supply in the state of Massachusetts, and there was a special low-APR financing deal from Honda that was soon to expire.
I was searching the online inventories of Honda dealers across the state and calling those with the model I wanted to get price quotes. I solicited a quote from Atamian Honda via their internet sales department and began a series of phone negotiations. Atamian Honda called me several times and gave me a very competitive quote on a Honda Fit that they would shortly be receiving (it wasn’t yet on the lot was but was in transit and just a few days away from delivery). Being naturally wary of car dealers, I tried my best to make sure I was getting the fully story. I live over 2 hours away from Tewksbury, MA, and I didn’t want to drive all the way into the dealership to find out that the offer I’d negotiated over the phone was not the final deal I could sign. I had Atamian Honda write up, sign, and fax me a detailed quote. I asked repeatedly in my phone calls to the dealer whether I could take advantage of Honda’s special low-APR financing deal on this particular vehicle in question and was consistently assured that I could. In fact, the dealer pressed me to come in asap before the special financing offer expired so that I might do just that.
On the final evening of Honda’s special low-APR financing deal period, I left work early and drove over 2 hours to Atamian Honda with my signed price quote in hand relatively confident that I’d secured a good deal on my Honda Fit. Shortly after I arrived, I was told by the salesperson that, while they could sell me the Honda Fit that evening whose price I’d been negotiating with them on the phone, I couldn’t take advantage of Honda’s special low-APR financing deal because the car wasn’t actually on the lot yet. This was an unfortunate wrinkle that effectively added about $800 in financing costs beyond what I’d been promised repeatedly over the phone. Of course, Atamian Honda said that they’d be glad to sell me one of the more expensive trim models that they had on the lot at the favorable APR, but I didn’t need to drive across the whole state to find that deal. My salesperson apologized that they’d made this “mistake” (saying that the internet sales guy was new to that role ). I suggested that they could keep me happy (keeping me happy would have avoided my having to write this negative review) by selling me the car at their “breakeven cost” (i.e., dealer invoice minus dealer hold back) to compensate for their unfortunate “mistake” and my having driven across the state to their showroom under false pretenses. If they’d taken me up on this offer, I still would have paid about $400 more than they’d led me to believe taking into account financing costs, but, considering my alternatives, it still would have been worth it to me. They declined this offer, and I walked out. I think I’ll probably end up paying more for a different model somewhere else, but I wasn’t about to give this dealership my business. I’d rather pay more to a dealer that won’t jerk me around (purposely or mistakenly).
So what was the root of my problem with Atamian Honda? Were they incompetent (did they really not know they were repeatedly telling me they could give me a financing deal that they couldn’t?) or were they just lying to me the whole time (e.g., to get me into the show room at which point they figured I’d buy just be resigned to buying something)?
Later, when confronted about this “mistake,” the Atamian Honda internet sales manager insisted that the “fine print” on his signed quote had indicated that the offer was only good on vehicles “in stock” which apparently did not include vehicles that were listed in Atamian Honda’s online inventory but which were still “in transit.” Of course, this guy somehow managed to talk to me at least a half dozen times on the phone about this very “in transit” vehicle without mentioning this and wrote up, signed, and faxed me a detailed price quote for the “in transit” vehicle without mentioning that the “fine print” on the quote essentially meant that the quote did not apply to the “in transit” vehicle in question.
Throughout my interaction with Atamian Honda, I had this nagging sense that I couldn’t trust them (a stronger such feeling than I get from most car dealers). As such, I tried very carefully to ask about everything I could think of in my phone conversations and to get the key stuff in writing. In the end, I still didn’t get my deal.

My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewthis is my 4th new honda from Atamian and by far the best in terms of price. This store is run in a professional way right from Mr. Terry Atamian down to the guy out on the lot who even went out of his way to run an errand for me while i waited for my car to be cleaned. Terry Atamian walked me through all of the departments and even introduced me to his nephew whom I aleady knew because he had serviced my last 2 Accords I leased from him. I am so happy with my new Honda Accord I had to tell everyone what a great place this is to do business with. Everyone should run right over to Atamian Honda !

Jim
My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewI recently purchased a Volkswagen Jetta in late October and I am very pleased with Volkswagen and Atamian, so I thought I’d pass around my thoughts. When I arrived on the lot, I was greeted with a friendly smile and handshake and pointed in the right direction for a car I was interested in. I had a few questions about the vehicle and the salesperson, Jim, was able to answer them thoroughly, which was good. The negotiations were smooth and both parties were fair with each other. All in all, I was treated well and I love my car. What else could I as for? I would have to recommend Atamian if your are looking for a car based on my experience.

Ben Atamian
My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewI was very happy I called the dealership because a light on my dash showed one of my lights was having an issue. I was bit worried it would take a few hours just being a VW and all but when I went into Atamian they got me in and out very quick and only charge me a few dollars for the bulb. I was happy with Bens service and just the fact that they got me in/out of the dealership in 30 minutes. Ive never bought a vehicle here but I might check it out they seem like a decent group here.

James Grammas
My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewI had a great price from the Internet it was very easy met with a sales rep and then one of his Managers I think the name was Kevin and they were all fine. Jim did come in on his day off and go over my new CRV so I thought that was nice. The only part is I wish the paperwork was a bit quicker but overall I was happy.

My Atamian Honda & Volkswagen reviewI WAS SCAMMED BY ATAMIAN!! Brought a deal from another dealer (trade plus $8800) to Atamian to see if they could beat it. Atamian Sales Person JAMIE GITSCHIER :devil( and sales manager KEVIN CRAIG :devil( both perpetrated a scam on me where they had someone call me a couple times (pretending) to be from the first dealership stating that the quote they gave me was bogus and that the salesperson who quoted it would be fired and that the real price would actually be $2700 MORE (trade plus $11,500) than the quoted price and that “if Atamian can beat their that price “JUMP ON IT”. So, Atamian said they’d beat the orig. quote and sell me the car for $11,200 plus trade. I gave Atamian the check, they charged sales tax on my VISA and I left to go home and get the title and spare keys to the trade. While I was home, got a call from the orig. salesperson (who was supposed to be fired) asking if I had beat the $8800 + trade!!! I was confused! :confused: Cut to the chase – after talking w/the sales person and his manager @ the orig. dealer – found out NEITHER ONE OF THEM HAD CALLED ME THAT DAY AND THEIR $8800 + TRADE WAS LEGIT!! Went to Atamian to get full refund – when I told JAMIE GITSCHIER I KNEW WHAT HE HAD DONE AND I WANTED MY SALE ‘UNDONE” HE BECAME DISRESPECTFUL, SARCASTIC, AND VIOLENT – HE JUMPED FROM HIS DESK AND ATTACKED MY SON – ALL THE WHILE HOLDING A SCREW DRIVER IN HIS HAND. CALLED 911 WHO RESPONDED AND I GOT MY CHECK BACK, MY VISA CREDITED AND MY PERSONAL LICENSE PLATE RETURNED.
IF YOU OR ANYONE YOU KNOW HAS BEEN EITHER SCAMMED, LIED TO OR THREATENED BY ANYONE @ ATAMIAN, PLS. EMAIL ME @ [email protected]. I am looking into a class action suit to either shut down these criminals but @ least to get JAMIE GITSCHIER AND KEVIN CRAIG FIRED!
BE SMARTER THAN ME. DON’T GO TO ATAMIAN!! FOREWARNED IS FOREARMED!
hey paddycakes sorry about your awful experience at atamian honda!but in all honesty-the ONLY people being lied to are the ones reading your review:confused::o last time i checked car dealerships are around because they are entitled to make a profit:rolleyes: next time you go out to make a purchase you should have mommy&daddy hold your hand….:o people like you come a dime a dozen sweetie:D
I recently bought a new accord from Atamian and my sales person was Jamie Gitschier. I cannot begin to tell you how helpful, knowledgable and couteous he and his fellow employees were to me and my husband. I have sent many people to Atamian because of the treatment I personally recieved and will continue to do so. You apparently have some type of problem if you went to one dealership and then another. You actually give a credit card to the dealership and then cause all kinds of havoc. Here is a news flash for you. The economy is bad. Car Dealerships are out to sell cars and it is definitely a cut throat game. With people like you prancing around from dealership to dealership, it is no wonder it is a cut throat game. From the sound of your reply to this site, I believe that you are looking for a quick buck or maybe a free car. Good luck!!!
You must either be an employee of Atamian or Jamie or Kevin themselves. If you don’t believe what I wrote, then call Atamian right now and ask for Jamie or Reed Atamian who I’ve spoken with a couple times over the past week. Jamie was FIRED on Tuesday. Email me @ [email protected] and I’ll even send you a copy of the police report and witness names to the scam and the assault.
And since when would someone go to ‘1’ place for the 2nd largest purchase in their life and NOT get a quote from @ LEAST 1 other dealer? You that naive that you wouldn’t price around in this economy? I have NO problem w/dealers making a profit on a car – I’ve bought about 20 cars in my life – I know a dealer isn’t a non-profit agency but to scam someone out of an add’l $2700 and to go to the lengths that Jamie and Kevin went to having someone call me and pretend to be from the orig. dealer saying the deal was bogus!
Look, believe me or not – I don’t care. I got the deal eventually undone and bought the car elsewhere. So, what would my motive be to lie about what honestly happened? I thought by putting out this review it would keep other people from getting ripped off. I only did it to help other people. I’m not getting one red cent from ATAMIAN or anyone. If you’re such a jackass or pighead that your warped mind thinks I’m making this up with nothing to gain from it, then think it. But the intelligent people out there will avoid Atamian @ all costs.
I’M NOT LOOKING FOR ANYTHING. I DON’T HAVE AN ATTORNEY. MY SON AND I WERE ASSAULT BY JAMIE AND SCAMMED BY JAMIE GITSCHIER AND KEVIN CRAIG. I HAVE THE TEWKSBURY POLICE DEPARTMENT REPORT OF THE ASSAULT AND CAN EMAIL YOU A COPY IF YOU NEED TO SEE IT TO BELIEVE ME. I WAS A FEMALE – ALONE – WHEN JAMIE DECIDED I’D BE AN EASY MARK FOR HIS SCAM. I’M SURE JAMIE WOULDN’T TRY THIS ON A MALE OR A SOMEONE WHO WASN’T ALONE. CALL ATAMIAN AND ASK FOR JAMIE. YOU WON’T GET HIM. HE WAS FIRED. AND WHAT STUPID ASS PERSON WOULDN’T TAKE A QUOTE TO ANOTHER DEALER? HOW THE HELL WOULD YOU KNOW A GOOD DEAL FROM A BAD ONE WITHOUT COMPARING QUOTES,

First of all, I do not work a Atamian or any other dealership. I am not a friend of Jamie Gitschiers but he has sold me a total of three vehicles. I too have purchased many vehicles but really don’t have time to keep track of how many. I am not pigheaded but I must say I think I hit a nerve with you. If you had a problem then it is in fact your problem. To attack me with your name calling shows me the mentality you have and if you truly want to see an IDIOT, buy a mirror.
Poochie – You hit a nerve because what I wrote, with God as my witness and on my childrens’ souls, DID happen. You, who wasn’t even there, “think” that I am lying???? YOU have no knowledge of what actually happened. I DO! Why would I go so far to write such a negative review and for no gain???? I’m only doing this to warn people. I know Jamie and Kevin didn’t do this scam on EVERYONE. But after talking with Terry Reed Atamian and Jamie’s last employer (where he was also fired for being violent and scamming people) it appears he finds an “easy mark”. Someone who is alone, honest, easy going and trusting.
Look – good for you – he didn’t scam you. Wonderful. I’m happy for you. Think what you will, but, if you are too closed minded to even think that “maybe” this happened, go ahead in your PollyAnna life and think that everyone is wonderful. Well, there are alot of scumbag car dealers out there, and I found one!
Have a good life. But for those smarter than you and those with an open mind, consider yourself forewarned.
I won’t reply to your (Poochie’s) emails any longer because it is obvious you either have a connection w/Jamie or Atamian or just too pigheaded to think that “MAYBE” this lady is telling the truth since she’s willing to send me a copy of the police report AND the fact that Jamie no longer works @ Atamian because he was fired.
Have a good life. And, maybe, I won’t bother to be a good citizen in the future by warning people of the crooks out there in life. Let everyone else learn the hardway the way I did.
And, just to reassure you, I have NOTHING to gain from this review. I’m not looking for a car or money or anything.
You must be a very lonely person. To defame a delership that has been in business for years and then say you are truly trying to be a good citizen and warn people of deceptive practices. YOU went there, didn’t like the deal. GET OVER IT nd stop trying to be POLLYANNA; Try for class action and maybe, just maybe, you will get a gift certificate or be bought off in some other way. People like you are a dime a dozen. Have fun!!!!!!
You definitely are Jamie or Kevin hiding behind a sissygirl name like “Poochie”. And, I am very pleased to let “Poochie” know that I have received about a dozen “thank you’s” from consumers out there the appreciate the upfront warning about Atamian and are staying clear of them. Look, I gotta go. I don’t have time to waste on bitter, angry, small minded, vile people (?) like you.
Have a good life and do me a favor………call Atamian and ask for Jamie. He got canned for being a scumball like some other people I know. YOU?
I’m done with you….but not with Jamie. Think what you will, but I feel good knowing that I am telling the truth, have helped some intelligent people out there and by the way…..since you evidently never cost compare anything (like cars, duh)….I have a oceanside home in Arizona I’d like to sell you!
Done……..have a good life. I won’t waste another ounce of energy on trying to convince a nasty, vile, a**hole like you because I hope “YOU” get scammed and learn that it really does happen out there. Maybe then, you’ll believe me.
Now go stick your head in the sand and think that everything and everyone is wonderful and good and kind!

Miss Paddycakes, I have been following your story for a few days. I do not know you or either of the Men involved. I do have to tell you this, You seem like such an insecure Bitch that has nothing better to do with her time. You think it is amusing that you got a person fired from their job, I think that is Awful and you are a Pig. You should grow up you Fat Slob and go get a job doing something other than being a stupid asshole. I hope these people call YOUR work and get you fired for Emailing Slanderous words about the both of them. Dont you work at Verizon? Isnt there a Business Code of Conduct that you have violated?

So before you start your vile name calling, think hard aabout your sordit life and what type of person you really are. Go try and save the world Paddycakes but you will always be a BAG.
Hey Poochie, I think you have the total picture of Miss Paddycakes. She is without a doubt “Pure Pondscum”. I am going to find out her real name and tell everyone how she is a real piece of garbage………Miss Fattycakes, you opend up a can of worms and now its time you pay the price you fat slob. And by the way why dont you go and shove another Twinky in your fat mouth……….Have a good day you PIG

Have you gotten into trouble yet for using company Email to make threats and awful remarks against those two men? Im sure you will be hearing soon. Anyways, you should really go on this site and apologize for saying things that are not true….It is a damn shame that you did this. I hear that you are about to be Sued and Verizon is going to be Sued because of what you did…..Too Bad huh, maybe you should have thought abput which email to use you Idiot……Good luck in the future….I hope you lose everything, your job, your dignity, and most of all your health………..
