Speedy and friendly Customer Service I found the car I wanted at this dealership but I was two hours away. I messaged them through cars.com and got an immediate response from the Sales a I found the car I wanted at this dealership but I was two hours away. I messaged them through cars.com and got an immediate response from the Sales admin. She was able to get me an appointment the next day with Robert Duran. He emailed me immediately confirming the appointment. When I showed up at the dealership he greeted me by name outside and got me in the vehicle for a drive in 10 minutes. The dealership worked with me to get me out of a car I had just purchased 4 months earlier. I never felt pressured or pushed into the deal. Robert and Gil Amir (finance) treated me like the educated adult that I am and we talked over several options for financing and I picked the one that worked for my budget and brought home a beautiful blue Subaru WRX STI manual. They had the entire deal done in three hours start to finish. More

Easy and Stress Free! Robert was terrific to work with. He made me feel better about the purchase I was making and helped me get the color I wanted between the used vehicle Robert was terrific to work with. He made me feel better about the purchase I was making and helped me get the color I wanted between the used vehicles. The finance process was a little confusing - I was glad that I had crunched my own numbers before coming in because I would have been bummed if I found out I couldn't actually afford the monthly payments. Also, be sure to leave wiggle room if you think you might want to get a warranty - and this dealership does offer warranties for used cars. I had to increase the duration of my loan to afford the warranty. Overall, though, I didn't feel any pressure and it was a comfortable experience. Robert was very forthcoming about some of the used models he would not recommend and the test drive was SO easy! It felt like we had a trust with each other that was very nice. I didn't do a great job negotiating (aka I didn't really negotiate), so I don't have any feedback on that. But the car is awesome! Thanks, Robert, for helping me get a new, safe ride! Gil was also great to work with in finance. The jury is still out for me on whether the warranties I purchased will be worth it, but he helped me to understand the paperwork and even though it was nearing closing time, there was no sense of rushed urgency or frustration with my lack of knowledge about the process. Also, Don Mealey Sport Subaru sponsors the traffic on NPR and that was how I knew about them! Keep supporting local community stations! :) More

Service and Car Purchase I go here often to get my car serviced. The service team is friendly, reliable, and the prices are very fair. Had issues with an old car and they reco I go here often to get my car serviced. The service team is friendly, reliable, and the prices are very fair. Had issues with an old car and they recommended I get a new one. Found a great deal on a certified used Subaru and ended up purchasing it. Robert Duran was extremely helpful throughout the process of trading in my old car and buying my new one, giving me good insight into everything I needed to know, and made sure I was taken care of. Tim was great in laying out all the options I had for extended warranties and made the buying process quick and efficient. Overall I had a great experience at this dealership and highly recommend it.

Car buying made easy I used to sell cars when we worked on commission, got a bonus on financing, etc. it was high pressure without making the customer realize the high pre I used to sell cars when we worked on commission, got a bonus on financing, etc. it was high pressure without making the customer realize the high pressure that was being exerted on them. Here, the staff was friendly. We were shown an Ascent that fitted our needs, took it on an extensive test drive, and were shown the sheet showing the dealers cost and the $270 that was added to that. There was no dealer fee but $902 in options added by the dealership. My wife and I enjoyed not having to haggle over price. Robert Duran, our salesperson, was knowledgeable, courteous, and helpful throughout the process. Even though we were not financing, we were then turned over to Gil, the finance manager. There was zero pressure to finance the vehicle but he showed us some optional add-ons that concerned maintenance in insurance. A couple made financial sense so we added them on. But, again no pressure.of any kind. Every situation should be a win- win for both sides. I know the dealership made money on the car, the options, and the add-on’s. But, that is why they are in business. We got a super safe 2020 Ascent at a price we could live with. More
