Vehicle needed service
November 6, 2018
I had an issue with my easy exit feature not working recently; the Service department took the extra time and came up with a solution, restoring all my lost features (Enhanced Convenience Package). I’m now able to get in and out of my new car without further hardship to me being handicapped. I came from another dealership who failed to assist and have now found a new home for my remaining service for my two vehicles.

Great all around suv
April 11, 2019
Excellent vision in all directions from the Forester. We like the no non-sense styling of the Touring 2.5i. Easy to get into and out of which matters if getting a few years on you. Very good gas mileage and handling with excellent performance. The AWD is certainly one of many key selling points. Fit and finish is excellent with very good reliability so far. We think it is a excellent SUV and would definitely purchase another Subaru SUV if needed.

Bob Johnson Buick GMC Review
1st OLF, etc
December 3, 2018
It was such a pleasure having a dealership that really takes care of its buyers. I called on a Tuesday and said I would be working out at LA Fitness, which is about 5 minutes away from the dealership. I stated if they had a time available where as I could drop it of at 8:00 am and would pick it up after my workout about 10 or whatever was good for them. To my surprise the young lady asked if I could bring it in the next morning, I said Wow, that is GREAT. Well, I brought it in at 8:00 am and the shuttle driver (Jerry) was right there and took me to the gym. My buddy dropped me off and I had no idea if it was ready or not and if it was not I would have waited. Well, as soon as I walked in and asked and Matt said all ready Mr Snacki and within 3 mins I was in my car heading home. Now, that is what I call service with a smile. I had an issue when I got the vehicle and brought it in for a software update, thinking they would have to schedule me and to my surprise again, Matt said we can do it now. I had coffee in the waiting room and a fruit and in less than 45 mins or so I was heading home. So, these are 2 experiences I wanted to share and it was my pleasure. I look forward to many years dealing with Bob Johnson division and I thank them all. William J Snacki

This car has been a good car to this date

This car has better quality than the 2012 outback we had. The room is better and the ride is smooth. The car has many more up to date safety features than he out we had.

Vroom - Buy a Car Without Leaving the House Review
Vroom has a very streamlined process
December 3, 2018
This is my second vehicle purchased from Vroom in the last 12 months, and I can't imagine ever buying a used car from a brick-and-mortar dealership again. Vroom offers a terrific selection of late model used vehicles. The pictures really make it easy to know what the car looks like. I purchased a 2015 BMW 5-series, and the Vroom price compared to a similar make/model/mileage vehicle from CarMax was $3,000+ cheaper. I selected my vehicle over a few weeks of looking at photos. I filled out a credit application online, and they immediately called me to finalize the app, discuss rates and payments, and to get my $500 deposit. I received a loan package via FedEx 2 days later, signed all the paperwork, and sent it back in the pre-paid FedEx envelope they provided. About 3 days later, I started getting emails to schedule delivery. The process only took 9 business days from the moment I made the deposit to the moment I got my vehicle. The vehicle was clean, just as described, and runs great. Now I just need to get a state inspection and add this to my insurance policy, and the tags will be mailed to me in a few weeks. Thankfully, Vroom gives me a 60-day temp tag so there is ample time to receive the plates. This is the future of car-buying, and the 7-day money back guarantee makes it the perfect way to purchase a used vehicle.

Great car!
May 12, 2019
This is a great vehicle and we're so glad that we purchased one. We've had a couple of minor things go wrong that should not have such as the drivers side visor starting to squeak loudly. All said we are very happy with this car. On the down side there is now standard technology out there that is not available. Automatic wipers are missing and items like remote start and subaru's safety and security package are extra when Honda includes them both free. But my biggest issue is not the car it's that there is no convenient dealersl or service anywhere near me. The nearest service is 45 minutes away. The next car will have to be available locally.

Vroom - Buy a Car Without Leaving the House Review
Best car buying and selling experience I've ever had!
November 5, 2018
I am a car enthusiast! I spend way too much on cars ??? but I work 24/7 and it???s my only hobby. This review will be a bit on the long side, simply because I have so much to say about my experience with Vroom. My wife gets frustrated with me because I talk so often about how amazed I am with Vroom in every aspect! I bought my first car in 1968. Back then I couldn???t afford much, but since about 1979 I???ve purchased some very cool cars. I even bought a brand new Rolls Royce back in 1985. I???ve owned: exactly 10 Mercedes, Jaguar, Ferrari, Audi R8, BMW, Range Rover and several others. So when it comes to dealing with car dealerships, I feel like I???ve become rather expert ??? AND a huge skeptic of car dealerships!!! When you buy a high-end car, you lose SOOO MUCH money, as soon as you drive it off the showroom floor. So the last time we purchased cars, we decided to purchase nearly-new cars with very low mileage on them. We bought an Audi R8 and a Mercedes SL63. And it turned out GREAT. No regrets. So now it was time to sell those cars and buy two more. I happened across Vroom.com in my Internet search, and found the perfect cars for both my wife and I at the same place ??? Vroom.com. The cars are nearly identical to the same cars we???ve been driving, but just newer. A 2014 Audi R8 and a 2014 SL63 ??? both with about 3,500 miles on them. Even the same colors as our previous cars. I got bids from several companies to sell our cars to. Vroom offered the highest amounts on both of our cars!! And it was FAR easier to sell to them than any other company. Unbelievably simple! And the prices for the newer 2014 cars was extremely fair. I flew out from South Orange County, California to Vroom to look at and drive both cars. Vroom picked me up at the airport and brought me back to the airport. I was extremely impressed with Vroom and their showroom. And without exception, every single person I???ve spoken with and dealt with at Vroom has been not only helpful and enthusiastic, but GENUINELY concerned about making me happy. Even after the sale they keep contacting me to see how I???m doing and to ask if there???s anything that I need. They got me great financing! Less than 3% interest rate. I had no clue that you could do that with a ???used??? car. No other buying or trade-in experience I???ve ever had comes even close to how great, simple and fast this was. Oh???and they shipped the cars from Texas to us at NO CHARGE, and picked up our two cars at the same time. And the nice young man who delivered the cars was fabulous. He was so very, very careful with our cars. And not only do they have their guarantee ??? I believe you have a week or so to drive the car, and if you don???t like it, they will take the car back. They even told me several times (even after I???d purchased the cars) that if for some reason we decided we did not want the cars, they would come pick them up and truck them back to Texas at NO COST to use. Unbelievable!! Well, my wife is now also so impressed that she no longer is frustrated with me for talking about Vroom so much, and telling all my friends. In fact, I???ve already asked Vroom to look for a car for my daughter. I now would not think of getting her car anywhere else than Vroom. I mentioned before that I???m a skeptic when it comes to car salesmen and dealerships. So if I was you reading this, the first thing I???d wonder is, ???Why is this guy writing this review? Are they paying him???..???? Well, I don???t know any of the people at Vroom. I spent so much time on this review simply because I believe that when people deserve credit, and they treat you so nicely, you should reciprocate and sing their praises. My name is Dr. Rod Kurthy. I???m a dentist and I own a dental products company in Southern California.

Ide Honda Review
Lease of new vehichle
December 3, 2018
IDE is THE BEST car dealership around. Turned in my old lease (2015 Civic) today (5/21/18) and walked out with a new HR-V. It is much more comfortable and easier for me to get in and out of and also see over the steering wheel! I am 5???2??? and 83 after all! From start to finish took about 4 hours, which was perfect. That gave me time to pick up groceries and make a trip to Leo???s. You see I live about an hour away and I am tired of just seeing Leo???s face on the commercial! My car was ready when I returned, signed the papers and off we went! Oh and those nice ???boys??? you???ve got working there? They even transferred my groceries from my old car to the new one. And just so you know, the HR-V holds about $350 or 55 bags of groceries! I want to especially thank Roberto Galante and Brad Constantino who answered all my questions, made me feel comfortable and truly made this transferring my lease so easy. Also, Ken in finance. Oh, and I should also thank my daughter Susan for helping me decide on the HR-V. After I sat in it the first time, she said this is it! I never even tried a new Civic. Thank you, Shirley Sharpe

Great body shop!!
November 6, 2018
About $3400 worth of damage to our Subaru Crosstrek repaired by this body shop. Great work; fender, front door, paint, etc. Was able to pick up car only 2 business days beyond the estimated completion, since, not unexpected, some additional work was discovered underneath the panels -- just 2 days to order the extra parts and get the car completed. VERY pleased and highly recommend this shop! Talk to Zach the Assistant Manager!

This car met all of our needs. It has plenty of leg room, wide opening doors, back up camera and heated seats. It also has the least number of blind spots I've ever had in a vehicle. I also feel safer in my Forester then I have in any other car I've owned. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a new car/small SUV.

Feel that this is a very safe and comfortable car
March 19, 2019
I like the comfort and the visibility of this car. All who have ridden in it feel that it’s comfortable too. Love the eyesight package which gives warnings regarding blind spots and so forth. Find it very easy to parallel park. My only complaint is that the audio controls aren’t intuitive to use, at least for me.

Forester XT Touring or WRX on the down-low?
February 6, 2019
Wanting something all wheel drive naturally leads you to Subaru. If you're looking for something with some off road capabilities but also a steady commuter with some room to spare, the Forester is the sweet spot. The 2019 generation Foresters are great, but they lack the punch of the older turbo options. With the same 250+ HP, 258 lb-ft torque engine in the WRX, the 2.0 L turbo shaves off over 2 seconds from the 0-60 time of the standard 2.5i engine. And it's noticeable. It gets knocked for being paired to CVT but I find it to be smooth and has great throttle response in Sport mode. Off road and in snow it does really well and lives up to the hype. A lot of reviews don't consider the Forester to be that stylish on the exterior, but I think that's ultimately a matter of preference. I find the exterior to be simple but muscular with the XT having a meaner front end. Inside there are some good upgrades which finally make the Forester feel a bit more luxury including leather seats and accents, a quieter interior and a decent sound system. The Harmon/Kardon sound system still leaves a lot to be desired, however. It's very bass heavy without a lot of refinement. Overall the Forester XT with Touring trim offers some nice amenities with still staying true to the rugged nature Subaru is known for.
Pros: fun to drive (3 driving modes, paddle shifters), great visibility, great off road capabilities, roomy back seat and trunk, giant sunroof
Cons: lower gas mileage, premium fuel recommended, lack of interior refinement, weak infotainment system

2017 Subaru Forester Review
Good All-Purpose Car
January 29, 2019
Full disclosure: My girlfriend owns it, but I drive it a lot. I find the 2017 Forester to be a pretty decent small SUV. I find it comfortable and fairly well-designed. I'm not a huge fan of CVTs but find it has enough pep when I need it. The dash is fairly well-organized and all critical controls are knobs and buttons rather than buried in the touch screen like some cars. A few things could be slightly better organized but these are minor details. The Subaru infotainment system is pretty lacking and the touch screen is buggy sometimes. They're behind the curve on this. But overall it's a decent car even if I'd like it more with a 6 speed manual.

Van Bortel Subaru of Victor Review
Van Bortel's is AMAZING
December 3, 2018
Van Bortel is AMAZING. I bought a used 2015 Subaru WRX STI Limited from Garber Honda, . Within the first month, there was a crack in my short block from normal driving. Van Bortel covered my entire repair under warranty, and I paid to have my clutch plate replaced because it was extremely worn by the previous owner.
Throughout the entire process, Marnie was in regular contact and strove to keep me in the loop and assured. My experience was so wonderful, I have ONLY taken my car to Van Bortel ever since then. I drive out of my way just to give these guys my business. They always have me covered with rental vehicles and an exceptionally knowledgeable, courteous, and downright professional staff.
They always perform a complimentary multi point inspection. Recently, one of my engine sensors (cam solenoid) blew and my check engine light came on. Van Bortel set me up with a rental on short notice and Gary performed the entire repair under warranty AT NO COST. That is incredible!
This isn't even to mention Van Bortel's other dealerships like their Corvette dealership where I went to test drive a Corvette. Unlike the rude and boisterous salespeople I met at places like Cortese, and various other dealerships looking for my next summer car, Van Bortel Corvette let me test drive the vehicle on my own and was incredibly respectful. When I'm getting my Corvette, I know where I'm going.
If you're considering buying a Subaru or Corvette, don't hesitate to go Van Bortel. You won't regret it!

Van Bortel Subaru of Victor Review
New Vehicle Purchase
November 5, 2018
My wife was in the market for a new vehicle and so we had stopped at a few dealerships in the Syracuse area which is only 40 minutes from home. She had her mind set on a certain make and I on a Subaru as I had read numerous articles on both vehicles. After convincing her to at least look at the Subaru Forester we stopped by the local Subaru dealer and she fell in love with it. After the usual test drive with the salesman there explaining all the fancy features of the car we went back and talked trade in value, any sale prices and rock bottom price of the car. Of course the Salesman had to excuse himself to talk to his manager, and the typical waiting period, etc. We left there not quite satisfied with the whole process, it is only 40 minutes from home when service is needed. Our neighbors suggest we try VanBortel in Victor, NY which is 1 hour and 30 minutes from home. Well to make a long stor short we dealt with Vince Bovenzi and walked out of there with a new vehicle at a significance savings. The VanBortel salepeople were very courteous, there was no pressure, we test drove the vehicle without the dealer who said to "take it for a drive and have fun". we sat and talked new car price and trade in price and walked away very satisfied with the whole experience. So if I'm willing to drive 1-1/2 hours from home to by a vehicle then that must say something for VanBortel. Also dealt with Kevin Hunt who processed the final paper work when picking up tje new vehicle and Jake who was an absolute riot to talk to as he went over the eletronics and how everything worked. I would definetly recommend VanBortels to friends and relatives and will continue to do business there in the future.

Ontario Mazda Review
Unexpectedly great!
December 3, 2018
In the age of information transparency, anyone who tries to sell you something based on a knowledge inequality puts you, the buyer, at a disadvantage. Unlike new vehicles, where a new car from Dealer A is going to be identical to a new car from Dealer B and there???s not much dealers can do to differentiate themselves, finding a used car that fits your criteria, being treated well by the dealership, and paying a fair price for it is not always an easy feat. After an exhausting several week long search for a lightly used midsize SUV, having driven over half a dozen different makes and models and visiting as many dealerships in the greater Rochester area, we ended up by chance at Ontario Mazda to look at a used CX-9. By dumb luck, we found the exact car we wanted, with the color, trim, mileage, fit and finish, and for a price we were willing to pay. What sealed the deal for us were two things. The first was simple. The car was not being advertised as a Mazda CPO vehicle, but when we got in the car for our test drive, our salesman casually mentioned that it was, in fact, a CPO vehicle. As soon as he said that, I congratulated my wife on her new vehicle, as I knew we were getting it. But the other part ??? unexpectedly ??? was our salesman, Chris Jay. After dealing with numerous salesmen at other dealerships, who were as if out of central casting, Chris stood out as the most courteous, professional, knowledgeable yet not arrogant or pushy, consistent and dedicated in his communication and methods from the moment my wife and I stepped foot in the dealership to the moment we drove away in our car 2 days later. After seeing other people???s comments about their experience with Chris, I see that ours was not unique, but I felt it necessary to add my recommendation to the list and leave my note of thanks. Chris spoke with Joe and agreed to drop the price a little bit upon asking. Even though I could sense there was more room to negotiate (and you never agree to the first offer you???re given), all my calculations, the fact that this car met all our wants, plus Chris???s great attitude weakened my resolve and I did not negotiate any further. Out of all the other places and salesmen we???ve dealt with, I felt that if anyone deserved our hard earned money it would certainly be Chris. It???ll be our first Mazda purchase, so we can only hope this story plays out well throughout our ownership of this vehicle, but kudos to Chris and team on the buying experience. Keep doing what you're doing!
2017 Subaru Forester Premium Review
Best Small SUV
January 3, 2019
Great SUV for a modest investment! I'm getting an average of 24 mpg and 28 on highway trips.
The noise level is low and the comfort is high. I have almost 25000 miles and have not experienced any issues.
Buy this car if you want value and reliability!
