Unpleasant, Hassle, Not FitzWay. I was very disappointed with the service I received purchasing a car from Subaru Gaithersburg. After communicating through email with a sales agent, I I was very disappointed with the service I received purchasing a car from Subaru Gaithersburg. After communicating through email with a sales agent, I was assured that they would match the price of a different dealer, as it is the so called "FitzWay". I came in and we spent about 2 hours with the sales associate, talking about the car, test driving, and so on, all the while he calculating payment plans based on the matched price. When it came time to make the sale, the sales man told me that they wouldn't be able to match the price unless I purchase the service package. Ridiculous. After some complaining, he finally contacts the manager of Subaru Gaithersburg, Fillepe. Immediately as he walks in, he claims Fitzgerald Subaru cannot match our price because it is too low. What happened to the price match guarantee? What happened to FitzWay? He gave us his lowest price of nearly $500 more. I had to argue that you have a policy stated clearly, and I had brought in appropriate and necessary paperwork to initiate the price match. After another hour of arguing that Fitzgerald Subaru should price match as it seems to be your policy, he finally gives in and does so. I thought it would be smooth sailing from here on out, but no. When I got to the financial and paperwork guy, he spend at least 1 hour pushing the extended warranty, offering different kinds of plans. Even when I said I did not want it, he would throw in new offers that weren't available before. Either way, I did not want it, and made it clear, but he continued to haggle me. In the end, he basically cold shouldered us and finished our paperwork. All in all, it was a very horrible buying experience, and as a returning Fitzgerald customer, I am extremely disappointed.

Dealer are good, but service center no so good. I bought my Forester recently just because they are local. Although I'll shell less money in Leesburg, still I bought from them because they are local I bought my Forester recently just because they are local. Although I'll shell less money in Leesburg, still I bought from them because they are local and service would be better. The dealer Sophia was very nice and handled all the process professionally. I really like buying the car with her and highly recommend her. Now, coming to the service centre, I also bought side window deflector with the car that cost me more than $250/- (you can buy them online in less than $100/-). The only reason I buy from them is to save time and the hassle to install them. They gave me sat. appointment; I was on time for the appointment yet it took more than 3 hours just to install deflectors. After 2 hours I inquire they said they don't have deflector and will need to bring them (then why you gave me appointment). Almost my entire Saturday was ruined. I sent my wife to Costco which is just across the street and she waited inside Costco for hours. I would hesitate to get any work done from the service centre (the main reason I bought from them). Seems like did I made a mistake. More

Great vehicle, good price, but that is where the fun stops.. I needed a new car quickly when mine broke down and found the exact vehicle I wanted online. I got a great, low-mileage Outback for an excellent price I needed a new car quickly when mine broke down and found the exact vehicle I wanted online. I got a great, low-mileage Outback for an excellent price (had been a service loaner). EVERYTHING subsequent to that has been unpleasant. The vehicle turned out to not have features that the salesman claimed it did. He now claims I am lying and he did not tell me that it did have, but he will happily install it for an extra 600 bucks. The sales manager immediately backed his guy and started telling me that I knew it did not have the feature in question (how he knows what I did or did not know is a mystery to me). This sales manager guy had already sent me an email telling me I was wrong before even talking to me, based solely on his conversation with his salesman. His parochial tone and insistence on my lack of integrity was beyond infuriating. The idea that it is more likely that I am complaining about the lack of a feature that he told me the car did not have (why would he do that?) than the salesman does not want to admit a potentially costly error is offensive. The title person asked for documents via email a full four work days later which I immediately provided the very next morning. She did not confirm receipt and was rude on the phone when I called. The vehicle was missing a key fob when I took delivery. I called several days later to inquire and the service people had no idea what I was talking about. The price and purchasing experience were fine, other than the unnecessary bait and switch regarding the one feature. I love my new Subaru, and the sales person was pleasant and helpful (to a point) but there are so many places to buy a car in the DC area that I cannot imagine giving this one any more of my business.

Oil change and tire rotation My apt was 12/18 @ 7:30am. I was told it would be about 1hr & 30 mins for wash. I left at about 10:15. They went in the glove comp to get the wheel lo My apt was 12/18 @ 7:30am. I was told it would be about 1hr & 30 mins for wash. I left at about 10:15. They went in the glove comp to get the wheel lock# & made a mess and left stuff on my seat, they also left spare area in the back disheveled. I told my service tech about it & also explained I always to have a bit of a problem. He fixed the back, and apologize. I then said they could have at least told me about the glove compartment mess. I ask if the do customer service follow ups, he said yes I said they will not get a good rating from me. He said well that's going to be a reflection on him and then made a comment to me saying, "enjoy the free service". I decided to go back in and complain to the manager and he said he has known Kyle since he was 14, and always does good work and probably did not mean anything. I told I felt he was disrespectful to me as a customer and just plain rude. All the while Kyle was sitting there and did not even apologize. This was unacceptable crappy service. I expect to hear back from them. When I bought the car last year, they did not give me the wheelock, so heaven forbid I get a flat on the road. I would not recommend, and there are 3 other subaru owners in my family. They will absolutely not be going to this place. More

Job Well Done as Always I left my car to be serviced and could not have been more pleased. They are always so kind and very professional. I needed my car back as soon as po I left my car to be serviced and could not have been more pleased. They are always so kind and very professional.

Good Subaru dealer & service. This is our second Legacy from this dealership, which we have found punctual in getting things done, and up-front on what a service visit might cost. This is our second Legacy from this dealership, which we have found punctual in getting things done, and up-front on what a service visit might cost. Costs seem reasonable. The whole operation seems well run. A year ago our Legacy had a pre-emptive Subaru recall involving a possible steering malfunction. Fitzgerald called Saturday am, came to our place in the afternoon, inspected our Legacy (at 580 miles) and took it away on a flatbed. We were given a rental until Subaru got replacement parts to them, about 2.5 weeks later. It was fast, efficient and--important--safe and responsible. The Fitzgerald of Gaithersburg dealership was very impressive in executing this operation, as was Subaru itself. More

Great experience in show room and service I purchased my new Subaru Forester in December 2015. Sales was great, not pushy, gave me a fair trade on an aging 2005 Pontiac Vibe and the no haggl I purchased my new Subaru Forester in December 2015. Sales was great, not pushy, gave me a fair trade on an aging 2005 Pontiac Vibe and the no haggle price on the Forester. Service experience also great. I have been back 3x for service or repairs. Most recently Friday, 6/30/17, with Donnie V. The service and show room are under construction but the waiting trailers are comfortable, air conditioned and have bathrooms available (no porta-john). Complimentary coffee, tea and light snacks also available. The staff as always was friendly and knowledgeable. I can't wait to see the results of the construction for both service and show room areas. I'm sure it will be beautiful. More

Down Right Unprofessional Called about a low oil issue. I was told by Mike Goodman to come in and let him "champion" this issue. I mentioned that I would like to have a rental, Called about a low oil issue. I was told by Mike Goodman to come in and let him "champion" this issue. I mentioned that I would like to have a rental, becuase I need to go to work and to let me know now if that would be an issue. Mr. Goodman- "No Problem. Come in drop off and we will get you in a rental." I rush from work to drop off and when i ask about the rental. Mr.Goodman- "Becuase its an oil change, we can not offer a rental". I said why not tell me that over the phone? He wanted me to get additonal services to qualify for a rental. I guess this is his way of "championing" my low oil issue. I asked for a manager and a rental was given. Before I left he was suggesting possible reason (very expensive services) why i'm having low oil issue.... All have nothing to do with low oil issue. WRONG- Try again. Then I get my car and noticed the next day that I was given my car without one of my all weather floor mat. I call Mr. Goodman answers. I tell him that my mat is missing. He goes onto say, we will look to see if its here or not. I reply it has to be there because I brought my car in with it. I asked if you can not find, can the dealership replace. The a$$-hole started laughing on the phone like I was asking for a free mat. I call him on it right way and he did not respond. To summarize the service... Very unprofessional. More
