I brought my 2020 Subaru BRZ limited to Bert Smith Subaru for service. Staff raced, abused and wiped out in my 1 of a kind customized car in front of hundreds of people. Front and rear end collision damages. for service. Staff raced, abused and wiped out in my 1 of a kind customized car in front of hundreds of people. Front and rear end collision damages. They vandalized my car by doing things like long deep cuts in the dash board, dents and scratched all over the car requiring new front and back bumpers and every panel but the driver door to be removed for paint and body work; emptying my radiator and tampering with the sensor during oil change services and put sand in my engine bay and engine oil, and damaged my high performance engine by using the wrong gas. They stole everything from my pool stick case returning it with all of the pockets empty of memorabilia from a national championship win. The tech was driving my car home and habitually made charges to my toll account without authorization. $1,000 of aftermarket parts were broken and removed from my vehicle, Pete D'allessandro the manager sent me out a week before Christmas to replace these parts for reimbursement, when I did, he did not so much as look at the receipts and did not honor his word. He did this knowing that I have little children at home and acted like he thought it was cute to wreck my car and give it back to me with all the damages. Seth P Bell is the general manager, I went to him first and he orchestrated this abuse; Subsquent to this I did a background check which reveiled a long ugly criminal history including Aggravated Assault with Intent to Commit a Felony on the Interstate, Giving Alcohol to Minors, and several drugs charges and traffic violations. Subaru of America INC does not care. The police called this "bad service" and "a civil matter" with no willingness to look at damages or investigate because "there was a written contract." Pete did promise the police to pay for some of the damages but he ignored the receipts that were sent to him. Anggel Haak-Lucero on Facebook - details and photos are publicly posted. I was able to PROVE more than $3700 worth of body damages because my car had gone from a 3rd party body shop to Subaru for a handling diagnosis following an animal strike incident, and the 3rd party body shop had thoroughly documented the condition of the car. No one is being held accountable. Nothing has been made right. Total losses exceed $10,000, and the engine hasn't even had it's inspection yet because its going to be in the body shop for WEEKS before it goes to a different Subaru dealership for a full investigation. I put $9,900 down on a brand new Subaru in good faith in the commitment that Subaru makes to it's customers, I bought it from them 1 year before, and then they did this to me. Want proof? 727 277 2201 I'm happy to talk to you about this, provide evidence and even show you in person if you would like to come see all the broken pieces and unrepaired damages that remain. A lawyer costs $15,000 to sue them. More

Worst customer service. Threatened to pull the deal multiple time because I was a female and they didnt want a bad review (their words.) I have a high credit score & money down. They are not customer multiple time because I was a female and they didnt want a bad review (their words.) I have a high credit score & money down. They are not customer focused and I ended up having to call corporate on the dealership. These reviews have to be fake. I have dealt with dealers all over the US and this was the worst experience ever. Seth (the manager who has no business in this role) is full of himself, Jack said nasty things about me to another staff (and "accidentally" sent me the text) and it took them over 36 hours to get my finance rate bc they had no finance manager on duty during the week? (This was their excuse 36 hours later...another bold face lie.) More
