Blatent deceit When we purchased our Crosstrek on October 10, we were told by Jared McDonald, our salesperson, AND the "document preparation" person (not sure of his When we purchased our Crosstrek on October 10, we were told by Jared McDonald, our salesperson, AND the "document preparation" person (not sure of his name- he had just transferred to the company) that Bert Smith Dealership would handle getting us the "special issue" license plate we had chosen. At Jared's request, we printed and gave him a copy of the "Endless Summer" plate we had chosen. Jared and the document prep person assured us that Diane, the Title Clerk, would handle the entire process. We left the dealership on Oct 10, with a standard FL plate. Jared and the document preparation person told us that Bert Smith would mail us the plate within a month's time. The plate never came. On Nov 17 I learned from Diane the title clerk that the request had never been submitted to her and the process for acquiring a special issue plate had not been followed. End of Bert Smith's responsibility. It's hard for me to believe that a car sales person who's job involves delivering a licensed vehicle to the buyer doesn't know the process for ordering a plate. We trusted Jared. He SEEMED knowledgeable and spent a lot of time acquainting us with the car. Was it deceit or incompetence? Bottom line, we were led to believe we had ordered a special issue plate and the fact is we were deceived by the salesman and the document preparer. Bert Smith Dealership condones it's salespeople being deceitful to close a sale. It makes me wonder what other deceits go unchecked? A new car is a major purchase and the buyer should expect the seller to be credible and honest. There are plenty of Subaru Dealerships find one you can trust all the way through. I am currently looking for other venues to place this review. We are very disappointed in our experience. More

As before, each person I came into contact with was personable, friendly, and professional. Especially getting credit for my 5 Star Rating is my advisor, Darryl Phillips. He made it a no hassle exchange and thoroughly explained everything to me. More
Easiest car purchase I ever had Every step was great, except, finance people were not prepared for me even though I had an appointment. Not much more really to add to this.

A drama-free transaction! Starting with my salesman, Darryl, I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the buying process was! I have purchased a number of cars at another local Starting with my salesman, Darryl, I was pleasantly surprised at how simple the buying process was! I have purchased a number of cars at another local dealership, and never was the negotiation process so easy and completely fair. I HIGHLY recommend Darryl for his expertise. I was purchasing a used VW Beetle, the 5th VW in my life. Even having experience with 4 other VW's, Darryl still managed to teach me a ridiculous amount of accessories on the Beetle (& my current Passat) that I didn't know about. He was a wealth of information and a true gentleman. He was always kind, informative, professional and witty, too! More
