We brought in our Subaru for a couple of recall updates

We brought in our Subaru for a couple of recall updates and a scheduled maintenance. They performed all the work within a few hours and returned it to us washed and ready to go. They provide efficient and courteous service each time we have used them.

We're glad to know that you had a positive experience with our service team at Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek. We always aim for efficiency and courtesy in all we do! Thanks for your support, and happy driving!

Very thorough, efficient, and detail-oriented in the sales process, while making sure we understood everything. Good additional orientation service to the car and the dealership's Parts and Service departments. Low pressure in explaining extras, some of which we accepted as beneficial to us. We will prefer to use it in the future instead of a closer Subaru dealership.

review for my crosstrek

I brought my car for 30K service warranty. They found a leak and recommended my car to stay overnight. I was offered a loaner which I took because I needed it for work. They took care of the problem and I felt I was taken cared of as well. professional...

This isn't only the worst dealership in CA, it's the

This isn't only the worst dealership in CA, it's the worst business. I purchased a used car there and it took me two weeks of constant phone calls and emails to get anyone to respond. They had left the car charger put of the vehicle and just blew me off. Now 1 year later I'm trying to cancel my extended warranty and I've left messages for 3 consecutive days and reached out through their website chat...no response whatsoever

Four visits 1st Just needed a “soft ware update” 2nd That’s just “the way it is” 3rd Visit ordered a $800 part, waited two weeks for part to arrive. Did not fix the problem. 4th Visit to service after call to Subaru Corporate agreed problem still existed. 5th waited for service appointment and issue finally resolved Lesson Be persistent Call Subaru Corporate to get attention

The car problem I have with the Forester has not been resolved

I had my car serviced at my home.

I had my car serviced at my home. Great service and so convenient. On time and done very professionally. Oil change, tire rotation and fluid checks. All done and no clean up as it was all handled. Would recommend giving it a try..

We're so happy to hear that! Thanks for taking the time to let us know your at-home service went well. Safe travels from Diablo Subaru!

Such a bad experience so far.

I’m having a very difficult time getting fairness regarding a serious issue with a vehicle I purchased here recently. I’m giving 2 stars for now because while so far I’ve been treated both negatively and positively with an emphasis on negatively, the outcome of this issue is not yet certain. If this dealership ultimately treats me and my vehicle with dignity and respect, I will be sure to update this at that time.

Parts department made me wait four months and never

Parts department made me wait four months and never called when I went in for service IT cut my bumper for a hitch backwards had to wait another day. They didn’t end up doing the service on the same day the hitch IT didn’t put all the facets in to hold it to my car, so I had to go back, when I went to buy my Subaru, they didn’t have what I wanted on the lot and they told me I couldn’t find it. I found it a week later somewhere else the only person there of any worse to me right now is Bernard. He was very kind.
