Worst car dealer find Recently I brought a demo Subru Forester from Straford Subur. One of the worst dealer I found in my life time. Very rarely you see this kind of attitu Recently I brought a demo Subru Forester from Straford Subur. One of the worst dealer I found in my life time. Very rarely you see this kind of attitude even with used car dealers who sell lost cost cars where margins are low. It was quite disappointing to see they handed over a new vehicle to me without a good car wash and without interior cleaning. The vehicle look like it went for a dirt road race. I was told they will taken care of the issues along 20 point checks such as wheel balancing, cleaning, filter change and brake checks etc . They made me to sign all papers without walk through of the car. They did nothing and collect $117 more for license plate after deal was closed , signed and agreed. I could have cancelled my deal if my $2000 advance was not in their hand. On the top of all of this there were no smile or warmth to receive client who came to receive new vehicle. I had brought many vehicle in my life but never came this bad experience. Very unfortunate I couldn’t get vehicle in London Suburu. They are very nice to deal with warmth. I found their general manager Chris was not responsive much either. Not sure how they sell any cars with their attitude towards their customer. More

They tried to charge me for warranty in This service center installed a turbo into my car. Less than 1 month and only 220 KM later, the turbo blew up. They tried to charge me for warranty inspection. The faulty original repair causedengine to go. They quoted me $5000-7000 for a new engine - worth more than my car! Had to threaten to sue them to get costs covered. Service Manager was extremely rude.. Parts manager tried to up charge me. DO NOT TAKE YOUR CAR HERE FOR ANY SERVICE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! More

Purchased a new Outback I am from Windsor and we do not have a dealership here. I went online and found London, Sarnia and Stratford were the closest dealerships to me. I c I am from Windsor and we do not have a dealership here. I went online and found London, Sarnia and Stratford were the closest dealerships to me. I called London and they didn't have what I was looking for and then I called Stratford. I started speaking with Craig and he was wonderful. I have never owned a new car before but he took me through all the details via phone (he called me - long distance) and text where he was available at anytime to answer questions. They took care of all the arrangements for me (new plates, returning the old plates and even took care of the car I drove up). I am very pleased with the level of service the sales team provided and I am glad that I really only had to show up and they took care of the rest. I was able to take my brand new blue Outback for the 3 hour drive back home feeling satisfied. This is where the real service happened (not proud to admit this). No more than 30 minutes into my ride home enjoying all the 'bells and whistles' of my new ride and I got to close to a roadside mailbox and all of a sudden I was missing my passenger mirror with one of the worse noises that have been heard with my ears. CRAP. I called the dealership and we discussed London or go back to Stratford and I decided to go back. They took a mirror of an existing Outback of the same colour, buffed out what they could and replaced the mirror. Looks like new (kind of wish I didn't tell the wife what I did already). They gave me a deal on the bill and even had a few slices of pizza while a waited. I do want to justify only the 4 star for price. As stated, I only have driven very used vehicles and I have been going to the same mechanic for 22 years. He treats me very fair and works hard to keep the bill low. So, this is what I have only known for 22 years. The dealership was extremely fair under the circumstances and was very reasonable as far as dealership pricing goes. Scott from Windsor More

Service has changed I've dealt with Stratford Subaru since I purchased my Forester almost 3 years ago. I have NOT been pleased with the service (although my sales agent w I've dealt with Stratford Subaru since I purchased my Forester almost 3 years ago. I have NOT been pleased with the service (although my sales agent was great). Same as other complaints I've read here: impolite, long waits, expensive etc. Today I took my vehicle in for routine service. The new service manager greeted me promptly and was clearly ready for my visit. He listened while I told him the things I felt needed to be looked at and gave me the price for the routine service and a time frame. He also offered me a ride/pick-up. Later he called me to talk about the brakes (which I knew likely needed to be replaced but hadn't told him that). He was clear about the problems and possible solutions. He did not push Subaru parts on me (got aftermarket parts). When I went back to pick up the vehicle, he went over every charge and explained it all. I still find it expensive but I honestly haven't compared labour charges with other auto mechanics so can't really complain. I'm told the dealership is soon under new management. The staff were quite excited about changes that are coming. More

Profitable Service Department Worst service department ever. If you want to be taken for a ride and have things replaced (that don't likely need it" take your car there. And if Worst service department ever. If you want to be taken for a ride and have things replaced (that don't likely need it" take your car there. And if they put something new on, their "quality" parts have a 1year/20,000kms warranty. At 17 months (but only 17K), a part fails...do they try to remedy...nope...too bad so sad. And oh, in November they tell me brakes are at 30% and should be replaced. Today (6 month later), any other shop tells me they are at 50%. Don't trust this company. More
