BEST car buying experience! See Trish Young! I have purchased many cars throughout the years, and I have to say, this is the very first time that I ENJOYED the "buying experience". I live about I have purchased many cars throughout the years, and I have to say, this is the very first time that I ENJOYED the "buying experience". I live about 2 hours away in NJ, and purchased the car at Garavel because of their lifetime power train warranty. I was really stressed out about going to a dealer so far as my previous experiences have been pretty stressful even close to home. I inquired about a car online and luckily, Trish was the person who responded to me. She was NEVER pushy, but instead extremely helpful and informative. She walked me through the entire process, and was never annoyed by any questions that I had. The day I came to pick up the car, I walked up the steps and there was a stand with a certificate with my name on it, thanking me for purchasing the car there and thanking me for my business. I was absolutely blown away!!!! Honestly, I could go on and on about my experience at this dealership, and especially with Trish. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. If you are in the market for a Subaru, see her or call her, you won't regret it!!!!! Also as an added bonus, the finance guy Jose Marin is wonderful also!!!! I cannot give even one negative comment........ I would definately reccomend giving her a call if your in the market for a Subaru. THANK YOU TRISH!!!!!!!! BTW I LOVE my new car!!!!!

First time Subaru buyer As soon as we walked into the Garavel Subaru dealership we felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Our salesman Miles Shapiro, was very persona As soon as we walked into the Garavel Subaru dealership we felt very comfortable and well taken care of. Our salesman Miles Shapiro, was very personable and accommodating and helped us right away in seeing and test driving the newer used Legacy we were interested in. We hadn't planned on making a purchase that very day but ended up doing so and are very pleased we did. All the staff at Subaru so far have been nothing but cordial and pleasant and we hope this is the start of becoming a loyal Subaru owner for many years to come. We would highly recommend anyone looking for a new or used car to visit this dealership and let them show you what they have to offer. More

My new Lexus I had a 2:00 appointment with Joe Zerbo at Garavel Subaru. Prior to our appointment, Joe was in touch with me via email about what I was interested in I had a 2:00 appointment with Joe Zerbo at Garavel Subaru. Prior to our appointment, Joe was in touch with me via email about what I was interested in and if I was trading in or putting money down. I had an Audi A6 that I was looking to trade. He sat with me and discussed what was available and my options. Long story short, within 2 hours Jose Marin shopped around for financing and got me a great deal on a 2008 Lexus ES350. I love this car!!! I will recommend Garavel Subaru to all of my family and friends. Thank you Joe and Jose...great job. Marvin R More

Great Experience Every Time Mark C This purchase was my fifth at Garavel Subaru. Each one was a pleasant experience but this one was the best. They have always been hard but f Mark C This purchase was my fifth at Garavel Subaru. Each one was a pleasant experience but this one was the best. They have always been hard but fair on price. Sales and service, however, are excellent. I especially had a great sales experience with Valentina Craig who went out of her way to make this last buying experience very nice. Won't hesitate to ask for her next time I return. More

New Experience When I decided to go buy a corporate car at Subaru, I had no idea what to expect. I have to say, I had a fantastic surprise and excellent buying expe When I decided to go buy a corporate car at Subaru, I had no idea what to expect. I have to say, I had a fantastic surprise and excellent buying experience! From when I entered the very clean, modern, and young-feeling show room, to the very friendly greeting by our sales person, Trish Young. Everything was not Only very professional, but also very effective: presentation of the different car models, Q & A, come to the point! Our decision was easily made, and the deal got closed quickly. We felt home right away, and Trish made it happen. We (my business partner and I) were later on introduced to Mr. Marin to discuss finance, and we had an equally smooth experience there. To our total surprise again, the delivery date came much faster than we thought, and we had a very good delivery experience. Trish knows her product in and out, and we were sent on the road with the feeling that we knew it all. A nice detail was the VIP-kind of delivery. Car presented almost on a plateau which was a nice touch. Also the fact that Trish introduced us to the other important people in Service and the front desk. Thank you! I am sure it will come handy later on. Overall, my business partner and I had an excellent experience, and I would recommend Garavel Subaru and our nice Sales Person, Trish Young, anytime to anyone looking for a Subaru car. Thank You Trish. Georg & Heidi Bel Mondo More

Great experience. Came highly recommended. Garavel Subaru was recommended to me by quite a few people. Joe W and Miles Shapiro were both a pleasure to work with. We worked with Joe W to select Garavel Subaru was recommended to me by quite a few people. Joe W and Miles Shapiro were both a pleasure to work with. We worked with Joe W to select the vehicle and work out the deal. He was great. No pressure. Knowledgeable. And easy to work with. When went to pick up the car, Joe W was with another customer, so Miles Shapiro stepped in to help walk us through the owners manual and thoroughly explained all the features of the car. He, like Joe W, really knows his stuff. And Jose got us through the financial paperwork quickly and professionally. Garavel clearly cares a great deal about their reputation. These guys worked as a team to make sure we had a great car buying experience. More

Valentina helped us through every step of the process and has been helpful, honest, and attentive throughout. Jose was also a big help in explaining warranty and financing options. We also had a great experience with Rich in the service department, who helped us with a repair on our 2005 Forester. All in all, we would highly recommend Garavel for both sales and service. More

Garavel Subaru, Great Dealership…. My fiancé and I just moved back to the United States from living in the Caribbean, and we literally had no car when we called Garavel Subaru. We were My fiancé and I just moved back to the United States from living in the Caribbean, and we literally had no car when we called Garavel Subaru. We were greeted by Amanda Gerpe, who absolutely handled us with care, professionalism, and had outstanding communication with us throughout. We ultimately chose a 2015 Subaru Outback Premium as our new car, agreed on an outstanding price, and we even threw in every option we both wanted, all via email and phone. After all the decisions were made, Amanda handed us off to Joe Wiatrzyk, who set an appointment date for the transfer, and he was likewise highly professional, extremely personable, and had expert knowledge of our new car. Joe spent more than the time necessary to go over each feature and option prior to our departure. I now am familiar with each new feature of my Subaru thanks to Joe; how many of you folks are able to brag about that??!! Bottom line: This is my 8th Subaru Wagon that I have purchased since 1985. I have driven close to 750,000 miles in 29 years, and I have only had to invest less than $2,200.00 TOTAL, on unscheduled maintenance repairs! Subaru speaks for itself, Period. Our entire experience from the initial contact with Amanda, to the signing of the final documents with Jose, to the final wave by Joe as we drove away with high smiles on our faces and Subaru love pouring from our hearts, was beyond my most pleasant dreams. Yes, Amanda and Joe seriously DESERVE a raise, a promotion, and a paid vacation. With these two on your team, you are rock solid and I am very proud to call myself a Happy Garavel Subaru Customer.
