Easy to shop, no high pressure sales.

Easy new car purchase experience, had purchased my previous used vehicle from them as well. Only issue I had was no return phone call from dealer when trying to purchase a extended warranty on another used subaru we own.

Thanks for taking our call the moment we realized this message slipped past the finance team, Diane. We greatly value your time and patronage, through both vehicle experiences!

Had a pleasant experience

Staff is very knowledgeable , helpful and courteous . They did not hesitate to address and accommodate my choices when deciding on the color of the automobile as I was somewhat undecided and were very patient with me, for which I am very grateful The process was a very easy one .

We never want to hear that any driver felt "hurried" or pressured into their vehicle decision -- it's a big deal, and a major purchase you'll hopefully be enjoying for years! Wonderful to hear that the sales team was able to help alleviate the pressure, answer questions, and guide you to that perfect Outback.

Polite, well informed, helpful

Happy to bring my car here for servicing, the service is always quick and the staff goes above and beyond to answer your questions. Great service and clean shop!

Thanks for noticing, Theresa. We may be a busy, busy shop, but each client's time is important!

Horrible service

Not happy with the after service they have provided. I will keep it short. 1. 1st oil change - As the old gasket was left during oil change, it resulted in oil leak and I was left with no oil within few weeks. Had to rush to another Subaru dealer to get it fixed. Even a freshman technician wouldn't do this error (According to another Subaru dealer). Incident was documented for evidence that oil leak happened because oil change wasn?t done properly. 2. Massive Wind Noise issue on Legacy 2015 - There are two TSB's to fix the issue. When I went for the first time, it wasn't done properly and issue got much worse. Booked an appointment 2nd time, hoping this time, it will be fixed. I was at the service center before 8 AM i.e. appointment time. Even though appointment was scheduled for 8 AM, till 1 PM they didn't took the car in to fix the issue. I left around 1.00 PM and called them back around 3.30 PM and someone tells me that it wouldn't be done today and someone is working on it and they might need to keep the car. I had mentioned to them beforehand that I am driving out of state on Monday morning. So I went in and then one of the representative tells me that they would need to order the parts. It was clearly mentioned: "Massive wind noise" while scheduling appointment. Subaru had clearly posted 2 TSB's for Legacy 2015. If you don't have parts why schedule an appointment? If you aren't working on it then why tell customers that you would need one more day to fix the issue and then tell to them at the end of the day, oh we don't have parts. Clearly shows incompetence of technical/service department. I was told parts would arrive by Wednesday i.e. within 3-4 days max and then I would receive call back. It's more than 2 weeks and I still haven't received call back from them. I am still waiting for wind noise fix. Since last 8 months, I am driving this noisy car. It?s annoying, really annoying. After service from Mitchel Subaru is zero. (0 to 10 rating with 0 being incompetent in car industry) Sales = 9/10 After service = 0/10 That being said, I hold respect for Rich O. Nice salesman. I hope, he would work for some another dealer and I would definitely buy another car next year from him. You don't lie and play around with your customers and mess up oil changes and services.

We're very sorry that your experience with our service department has resulted in this impression. Noting that the first oil change you mention was not done at our dealership, we cannot attest to another garage's work. While we appreciate the compliments given to our sales team, the TSB-related service department concerns are ones that should be taken to a higher position of authority to resolve. The best course of action we can recommend is to contact Subaru of New England -- regional manager Bob Bennett will be more than happy to work with you, and your sales associate Rich can give you his email and/or phone contact at a moment's request, if desired. We hope we can handle these concerns promptly and thoroughly, and see you back in our dealership in the years ahead.

Customer Service Is Not Lost At Mitchell Sunaru

I have been a customer of the Mitchell Group for well over 20 years. One reason for being a long time customer is the excellent service. Mitchell understands the importance of service and making a committed effort to maintain a long term relationship that's based on mutual trust and respect. That philosophy makes for a successful business and very satisfied customers who keep coming back to purchase new cars and have their cars serviced for many years to come.

There's very little we can add to the testament of a loyal driver such as this, except -- thank you. Thank you for your time, your trust, your advocacy, and your patronage. We look forward to decades further of a great business relationship.

Great Subaru service

As usually: great friendly service. Was done fast and without any "sales" pressure.

Who needs sales pressure? Buying a car is a big investment, and that's stressful enough. We're here to take some of that pressure off!

We're fortunate to have a team of thorough and well trained Subaru techs, and a set of service advisors who will always look to apply warranty coverage wherever it can be leveraged to the driver's benefit. Thank you for working with us, Frank!

We're going to call this 'common sense for dealers' -- if we don't listen to your needs, there's no way we can ensure you're driving off in a car that you'll love for years to come!

Great place to buy and device a car

I bought an Outback in December 2014. It was a pleasant, no hassle experience. I just brought it in for a oil change. It is a bit of a drive for me and there are other dealers who are closer, but I would not trust my car with anyone else.
