Controversy

Questions surrounding the Herb Chambers Companies have been raised in the past. In 2005, a Boston Globe report noted that four officials from the Herb Chambers Companies contributed to Massachusetts Attorney General Thomas Reilly's campaign efforts when attempting to run for Governor of Massachusetts. This was of interest because auto dealer groups including Herb Chambers Companies had generated a large number of complaints to the Attorney General's office at the same time.
