After several calls in a span of two days I finally was able to contact someone. The feature on the chat feature on the website connected me with someone who took my information but never forwarded to the service department. No one contacted me. I was able to get the vehicle towed back to the dealership where the probl e m was corrected after two days at no charge. I have been a loyal customer for at least 10 years without any problems other than this one. More

Dealer does NOT meet Subaru's costumer and service promise! THE STAFF AT DIABLO SUBARU DOES NOT REPRESENT SUBARU'S COMMITMENT TO CUSTOMER SERVICE AND SATISFACTION.

Invest your time and the mileage and drive the additional miles to the Subaru dealerships located in Oakland, Albany and Fairfield to find the attention and service Subaru promises. DOUG LECHNAR at Diablo Subaru IS A DISGRACE to Subaru's promise "by doing what is right and good, just for the sake of doing it." I have been a loyal Subaru customer for over 20 years. Most recently, I leased an Outback in another city and made an appointment with this dealership to return my car when the lease expired. In addition to returning the car, I was interested in finding a new Subaru that may fit my needs. Unfortunately, I had an encounter with their sales manager, Doug Lechnar, which changed my perception of Subaru and who they allow to sell and represent the Subaru name and promise. Mr. Lechnar had a bad attitude from the moment I met him and was obviously bothered to have to deal with returning my vehicle; NO COMMISSION - NO SERVICE! If he had done his job or even asked the magic question, "Are you interested in leasing or buying another Subaru," he may have made a sell. Instead, Mr. Lechnar immediately started an argument with me about how many keys I was given at the time I leased the vehicle. His unprofessionalism continued throughout the process, which should have been 15-30 minutes and lasted almost an hour. I wasn't familiar with the process, but Mr. Lechnar walked away from me twice without answering any of my questions and was bluntly rude and disrespectful. I found Doug Lechnar's attitude towards the entire process and me unprofessional and disingenuous. When I asked if I could talk to a manager, he said he was a manager. Apparently Kenny Giovannetti is a manager too - a SALES Manager! As I walked to my car (that I didn't return) in complete shock and misunderstanding of what just happened, Mr. Giovannetti told me to "leave the property (and that he) would call the police if (he) needed to". I was literally in tears and really upset, (not screaming or yelling as I should have been) and I get threatened by some random sales manager I didn't even see or speak to the entire time I was there? Where did he come from? Why did he get involved at the end? (I found his name from his picture from their website. ) THIS WAS ALL IN FRONT OF MY 8-YEARS-OLD SON! I have NEVER been treated so rudely for no reason, and so poorly by anyone at a Subaru dealership. My voicemail message left with the General Manager afterwards was unreturned as of my post time. I LOVE Subaru vehicles and so should you! But if you live in the East Bay, I would AVOID DIABLO SUBARU COMPLETELY! "Diablo Subaru of Walnut Creek is focused on providing customers with an honest and simpler buying and service experience. We are giving customers straightforward information so that they can make confident decisions."..... at least that is what their website states. Unfortunately, honest, simple, straightforward information is only offered if their sales managers are making a commission and Doug Lechnar is not involved. Note: Diablo Subaru's only saving grace is Sales Manager, Mo Jammal, who was friendly, courteous and actually asked and answered my questions, the only gentlemen I met in this dealership. DON'T TAKE THE CHANCE! BUY FROM ANOTHER SUBARU! More

Great place to buy a Subaru you will love! I live in the neighborhood, so I walked over to check out an Outback.

I was thinking about getting a used one, but with a great deal I was offered, I could get a brand new one. The options I wanted were available after Matt found the car I wanted at another dealer's and arranged the swap. My car was available in two days! The paperwork didn't take too long. All the available service packages were explained to us by Gary, and there was no pressure to sell extra services. The whole car buying experience was very nice and easy. I felt like a part of the family. We love our new Outback! More
