I am writing to express my appreciation for the excellent service we received. RIco and Cory demonstrated exceptional knowledge and were incredibly gracious throughout our visit. Furthermore, everyone we interacted with was helpful and welcoming. We also greatly appreciated the thoughtful addition of the dog toys!

Over inflated the tires again! Plus rear tires are suppose to be lower the the front tires. Is that so hard to do?? Just check the door tag.

They were very thorough on our issue with our Subaru. They couldn’t find anything wrong , giving us peace of mind. They couldn’t facility offers free coffee, water and snacks. My Honda dealership showed me to a water fountain when I was thirsty! I would use this service department/dealership again.

I am 78 years old and this was the best buying experience of a new vehicle that I can remember. Courteous, respectful, transparent and no pressure. Great effort to locate the vehicle I desired.

Thank you for the high level of service and courtesy that your team provided me. The right car at a fair price with an efficient closing process - can’t ask for anything more than that. Again, thank you.

This was my first time with this dealer. I knew what I wanted and they didn't have it in stock. They looked for it at another dealer and got it in quickly. My salesman Rico was so nice and personable. Everyone nice and the whole experience was very pleasant. Love my new car!

After being a faithful customer for 9 years, my car had to be towed to Busam as engine failed. Despite being advised of an array of symptoms immediately prior I was told it was just the battery. Charged $500 for new battery, I drove 20 miles before the exact same symptoms reoccurred, leaving me stranded 20 miles from home with no way to get back. Dealership no help, Subaru no help- just told to leave the car at their location with an undertaking that it would be looked at 1st thing in the morning. It’s now midday - heard nothing. No one picks up the phone, or returns a message. Due for a new car - it won’t be a Subaru!

My car had to be towed in. Multiple symptoms before abrupt failure. Diagnosed with just needing a new battery. Charged $500 for battery. I drove 20 miles before the entire thing happened again, leaving me stranded( I am 80 and handicapped) Neither the dealership nor Subaru any help. Vehicle towed again. Now they are not returning calls!
