I had an appointment at 9:00 am.

I had an appointment at 9:00 am. My 12 volt light was not working. I was told I would need a $239.00 diagnostic fee to find out the issue. I told her I would not pay that as I have a warranty on my car. I asked to speak to the service manager. She talked to him and he waived the fee. She told me she didn’t think it was fair that the tech wasn’t going to get paid. My appointment was at 9:00, however my car wouldn’t be looked at until 3:00. No loaner cars were available. She called me at 1:00 pm told me my car was ready. It was just a fuse and there would be no charge. I owe 3 Subarus, two were purchased from this dealership. Since I have a warranty I have gone here to have it serviced without any issues. This is the worst customer service I have received. I hope this service representative will get some additional training.

Have only used this dealership for service. First for sudden TCV failure and once for routine oil change. Had a great experience both times.

Disappointing I ended up confused re my services.

Disappointing I ended up confused re my services. I bought the “ loaner” but it’s still considered a used car so I had to pay for my recent 6000 mile service.

We love Noman, he was Insanely sweet and helpful! He showed me the basics of my car, and its function. He also showed me different models and cars that he thought I would like! He also treated my family like his!

As inconvenient as auto maintenance and an unexpected repair can be, Alexis listened carefully as I described some issues I was noticing with my car. He made sure a thorough diagnosis was completed. He was also very accommodating by swiftly providing a loaner car. Thank you
