I'm in the market for a new car and would have loved to

I'm in the market for a new car and would have loved to have gone and test drove something today. I entered my information through a third party I have a membership with and Mike called quickly to ask what I'm looking for. When I let him know I was wanting to test drive the car, he was very quick to say "Oh no, I'm not going to do that just for a test drive." That's a pretty off-putting way to attempt to do business with someone who has every intention of finding a new car to purchase with cash. Maybe Mike doesn't understand how car sales works? It gets worse. I received a text message from someone at the same dealership saying they do have lower models on the lot if I'd like to come in for a test drive. I scheduled a time and it was confirmed. After I had gotten the baby into the car seat and finally made it to the highway, Mike called again. He let me know it was their AI I was communicating with and rudely told me again that they don't have that model on the lot. I asked if they actually do have the lower model on the lot and he said yes, but they're closing much earlier than expected (and earlier than their website says) so I can't do it today. At this point I'm obviously not going to schedule a test drive or do any business with this dealership. If this is how they treat prospective customers, I can't imagine how they treat customers once they have their money.

Heather was fantastic!

Heather was fantastic! I explained the situation with my Outback and the problems I was having. She was very understanding and went out of her way to help me with getting the car in for service, repaired and returned to me as soon as possible. I will definitely be bringing my car back to the dealer for any service work! Thanks Heather!

I was charged a $200 restocking fee, because I decided

I was charged a $200 restocking fee, because I decided not to put $10,000 for multiple repairs into a 2009 Forrester. I took it to my Brothers mechanic and the $2000 I prepaid for parts to fix my steering were not even needed. IT WAS ONLY A BAD BELT! Never going to the dealer for repairs again!!!
