Our salesman, Bill Colgrove, was excellent, as were the other staff. There was one hiccup.... we had ordered mud flaps with our brand new 2025 Outback, however, they sent splash guards which the service department installed. We had to contact them to get the mud flaps instead and have those replaced.

The reason I purchased my new Subaru with Simmons

The reason I purchased my new Subaru with Simmons Rockwell was because of the excellent service I received on my 2014 used Outback.

This dealership is not good at all.

This dealership is not good at all. Not only are their prices, a little steep on certain models, but then they have models and vehicles advertised all over the Internet on their site and third-party sites, that are not available any longer or folks at the dealerships cannot locate them. Shady business practices, just awful no wonder why so many people do not want to go through them.

Dealer response

We are sorry to hear that your experience with us wasn't as great as it could have been. Our used vehicle inventory is shared and constantly moving between 5 locations across the Southern Tier of New York and the the Northern Tier of Pennsylvania. While we try our best to track vehicle locations in real-time there are some instances where it takes a bit longer to pinpoint a specific unit. We realize this can cause frustration and apologize if this comes across as "shady" but rest assured we are always looking at ways to improve the customer experience.

Consumer response

As of today, still posted on the site and third party sites… pretty sad.

I have been dealing with this dealership for the last 10 years. I am very pleased with all the services that I have used. I wouldn't consider going any where else for purchasing or for service.

It was organized for the most part.

It was organized for the most part. Only complaint I had was that I had declined the tire and rim add on but when they brought the paperwork out for me to sign they had added it. But besides that the sales person went above and beyond to get me the car I wanted.

Simmons Rockwell Subaru was great!

Simmons Rockwell Subaru was great! I had a recall on my Legacy and it was completed as promised. Service Advisor Meghan Wallace was the best. I’m happy I am able to take my car to such a quality dealer.

Late December I was working with three dealerships to

Late December I was working with three dealerships to find the Forester that fit me best. The online inventory listed two used vehicles with stock photos and basic details. I wasn't willing to drive over an hour to check their lot in person without some details so I figured a call would be fine to start the deal. I called the dealership to inquire about basic info: First, is the Forester on the lot or is it in transit to the dealership? Second, if it is on the lot are there any obvious damages (scrapes, stains, scuffs etc.) on the exterior or interior? I was told by the sales rep that since there were stock pictures the Forester was probably in transit. He was happy to check and let me know as soon as he found out. He took my contact info and told me he would call me later that day. Six hours later the dealership was closed. I called the next morning and explained what happened to a different sales rep. He forwarded me to that same original salesman who never answered the phone. I called right back and got a third salesman explained everything one more time. Just like the first guy, he told me the car was likely in transit, which is totally fine. I just want to know if the car is there so I don't waste two hours of travel time to get there and back home. This guy apologized a ton about the first salesman not contacting me back and promised to get back in touch with me in no less than 10 minutes. I was satisfied that I would finally get an answer to a very easy question after three salesmen and my information taken twice. I was never contacted. At no point was I contacted by any Simmons Rockwell entity (automated or personal) about my interest in giving them business. Tired of waiting for contact, I called the main Subaru competitor in Vestal (I cannot state the name of the dealership because the post will be removed) that afternoon. I put money down on a Forester (much like the one I was interested in at Simmons Rockwell) that same night. The following business day I purchased my Forester from that Vestal dealership, who was in contact with me every step of the way.I gave the dealership in Vestal a glowing review because of how well they handled every aspect of my business.
