Gildardo inserted himself in our negotiations with our salesman and told us in a very direct and rude way that 'he didn't have to sell us a car." We agreed and we decided to leave. More

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns and any miscommunication during your visit. Of course, selling cars is our main goal—we want to help every customer find the right vehicle. However, we also have to make sound business decisions to ensure we’re providing fair and competitive pricing. The Subaru you came to see is already the best-priced vehicle of its model and year within 200 miles, and with its low mileage, it’s a great value. Because of how well-priced it is, we simply couldn’t discount it further. Just as you need to do what’s best for you and your family, we have to make decisions that are best for the store as well. We sincerely apologize if our communication didn’t reflect our commitment to helping customers find the right vehicle. If you’d like to revisit this or explore other options, we’d be happy to work with you further. Thank you for considering us, and we wish you the best in finding the perfect car.

Kain was very helpful, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the entire process. He was not pushy at all, and I would highly recommend him! More

They were fairly helpful. And found us a car. But they did not disclose that the windshield had cracks in multiple places which we could not see because it was raining. And More
