Performance Lives Here!
In 1955, at the young age of 26, Richard Mastria Sr. became Taunton`s promising new Chevrolet dealer. Located on Rte 44 on the way to Seekonk, Mr. Mastria established himself as one the most outstanding dealers to serve the Taunton market. He represented Chevrolet for 27 years. During his time as a dealer, Mr. Mastria`s young son Rick spent endless hours shadowing his father, ultimately learning the business from the ground up. Impressed with Rick`s knowledge and leadership skills, General Motors awarded Rick his own dealership in 1981, a Buick franchise located in Raynham on Rte 104. Rick was just 27 years old. In 1987, Rick acquired a Pontiac and GMC Truck franchise to add to his Buick endeavor. Rick`s outstanding commitment to customer satisfaction led GM to award him with a Saturn franchise in 1992. Rick built a new building on Rte 44 in Raynham to house Saturn and later moved his Buick, Pontiac, GMC Truck store to another new facility next to Saturn. In 2004, Rick was presented with the opportunity to expand his business by moving into the import automobile market. In one year`s time, Rick, along with his valued management team and loyal customer base, opened a Subaru and then a Nissan franchise, both located on Rte 44. Most recently, Mr. Mastria opened a Suzuki franchise to meet the needs of a growing population of buyers who are concerned with fuel efficiency without sacrificing performance and safety. All of Mastria facilities are state-of-the-art and are committed to the highest level of customer satisfaction. Rick`s stores have been honored with distinguished awards such as the Saturn`s Summit Award, GM`s Best in Class award and Mark of Excellence status. Rick has now been a GM dealer for over 26 years and the Mastria family is proud to have served the Taunton/Raynham area for over 50 years.Our stores and employees are recognized throughout the automotive industry. We are constantly striving to reach the next level of customer satisfaction which has earned us highest honors with the manufacturers we represent. Every single department within the Mastria Auto Group has something to brag about.
Reviews:
At Prime, they are direct, they don`t waste you time with a complicated dog-and pony show like Village Honda, they have a very comfortable show room and loads of cars right there to pick from, and the sales force is knowledgeable, helpful, appropriately pushy ( this is car sal... view morees we`re talking!) but they have a no BS approach I liked. I had Lillian, very intelligent, helpful and capable, and the manager was Greg. Both were excellent.
The showroom is large, there is a neat bowling / air hockey game for free for the kiddies, and they even let me bring in my golden retriever! I can honestly say I never had as much fun buying a car as I did at Prime.
The price you get here includes ""destination"" fees and there are no nickle and dime extras tacked on later. The document fee is 295, it could be as low as 250, but that`s a minor point. The fee for the plates is standard, basically the same anywhere in the city. They did not tack on a ""lease initiation fee"" which Village said was mandatory ($690 of ""mandatory"" - right). So the price you are shown is close to complete. Naturally, MA 5% sales tax must be added at some point.
Once you get the price, they will negotiate, and they are direct, honest, and competitive. All in all I felt I was treated fairly and got a good price. At Village I had a hard time even getting them to reveal the price, and then I felt like I was trapped in a bad 3-card monte game with the fees and the pressure. Not so at Prime. They treated me with respect, and I felt they were honest and forthright. Very refreshing.
