Gillman Subaru San Antonio

My son and I went to this dealership specifically to look at a used Tiburon they had. We got to the dealership, they got the keys right out for us and we took the vehicle on a test drive. Before we even fini at a used Tiburon they had. We got to the dealership, they got the keys right out for us and we took the vehicle on a test drive. Before we even finished the test drive my son decided this was the vehicle he wanted. We told the salesman and he took us inside to work out the deal. They took my Mustang which we were trading in to get appraised and he had us fill out credit applications (I was cosigning). For anyone who doesn't know, EVERY time someone runs your credit it lowers your overall credit score, therefore I never randomly have my credit run. We were doing it simply to purchase the Tiburon. Our salesman came in and out telling us things were looking good and they were just trying to find us a the best deal. After awhile he finally came back in and told us the good news...we were approved and they could get us in a car. The bad news was the car we applied for was sold to the person who test drove it after us. Seriously?? How can a dealership run your credit to purchase a vehicle that they are selling to someone else?? If we had known the car was going to be sold to another customer, I would have NEVER agreed to have my credit run. We did not want any random car at their dealership, we wanted the car we came in specifically to look at. Now my credit score will be lower and we still have to find a vehicle for my son! That is simply bad business. To top it off, our sales associate told us his manager wanted to speak to us, so we waited and waited. We still didn't have the keys back to the mustang, so we couldn't leave. Finally I was not going to wait any longer. I went in the office and demanded the keys. I said this was completely unprofessional and I was appalled at their business practices. Worst non-car buying experience ever. Side note, Greg, our sales associate was a nice kid. He tried his best, it was the on duty manager who knew about the other person buying the car. He also knew that I had come in to look at the car and that we were doing a credit check to purchase the car. He should have stopped it before it got to that point if he knew someone else was purchasing the vehicle. I didn't put his name in because he never bothered to even come in and explain the situation, so I have no idea who he is. More

We chose to shop at Gillman Mitsubishi based on the vehicles we had found online. I had communicated with Michael Beeler via email for almost a month. While Mr. Beeler was very kind he was not well v vehicles we had found online. I had communicated with Michael Beeler via email for almost a month. While Mr. Beeler was very kind he was not well versed in the products or services of the dealership and I felt as though he ignored or forgot to take care of things we had talked about. The finance supervisor however saved the entire experience. He was very easy to talk to and took time to explain in detail everything while at the same time working hard to keep things moving so we could finish in a timely manner. Without his expertise I would not have purchased there and I would not have given such positive feedback. More

Kevin was my first contact at Subaru; I was looking at the new Legacy. Then I told Kevin I am very pleased with the performance of my last 3 Honda Accords and it is hard for me to go with something I am the new Legacy. Then I told Kevin I am very pleased with the performance of my last 3 Honda Accords and it is hard for me to go with something I am not familiar with having such good success with Honda's. Kevin took me next door to your Honda Dealership and I was introduced to Nick. Nick (young man with a pony tail, I only say this because I know there are more than one Nick in that department) was just a pleasure to work with. I let them both know I was not going to buy today and they respected that. Both Kevin and Nick kept in touch with me letting me know they want my business and both tried hard to convenience me to buy in a respectful way not criticizing one car over the other but reassuring me either car would be a great choice. I finally decided to stay with a Honda. Two reason really, my success with the vehicle and the trunk space (i.e. trunk opening is larger in the Honda). That is what swayed me. Thank you for your service, I am very pleased with the vehicle. Nick and Kevin both continue to keep in touch, I am very pleased with their performance and would recommed and buy at Gilman's again.

I was in the market for a low mileage used SUV and located one like I was looking for online at cars.com and clicked on the speak to a representative icon and began an online dialogue with Lloyd. With located one like I was looking for online at cars.com and clicked on the speak to a representative icon and began an online dialogue with Lloyd. Within a matter of minutes he called me and answered any questions I had. Days later, I flew from Missouri to San Antonio to pick up the SUV. Lloyd picked me up at the airport and drove me to the dealership to complete the paperwork. Don in finance was very courteous and helpful. They fully inspected the car to ensure that I would not have any problems on my 600+ mile drive home. I landed in San Antonio at 11:30 A.M. and was on my way home by 3:00 P.M. The car ran perfectly and I am very pleased. This was a no pressure sales experience and they made it very pain free for me to purchase this vehicle. More

I came in as a loyal Subaru owner. My first car was a 1994 Subaru legacy. I drove it everyday for 6 years and then was finally able to get my dream car. I bought my dream car at Gillman, a 2012 wrx. I 1994 Subaru legacy. I drove it everyday for 6 years and then was finally able to get my dream car. I bought my dream car at Gillman, a 2012 wrx. I cannot express enough how a rating of 5 (Great) wont ever come close to describing the joy that this car will bring to me and my future family, my wife Abbey already loves it as much as I. I purchased an extended warranty with Gillman and I honestly look forward to the times ill spend there keeping my dream car in its prime. Thanks to all at Gillman for helping me. Experiences like I had is what makes customers like myself so loyal and what makes Subaru the best automakers ever. More

We were visiting central TX from home in Missouri. Yesterday service engine light came on in our 2002 Outback with 100,000 plus miles. Called Gillman service this morning and they had us bring it in. Yesterday service engine light came on in our 2002 Outback with 100,000 plus miles. Called Gillman service this morning and they had us bring it in. Service has normal $90 diagnostic charge. Diagnostic came back catalytic converter so Tim waived the normal $90 charge since it didn't impede driving and we could order and get the part repaired at our normal local dealer. I appreciate that they know they are competing with Auto Zone's free diagnostic. It will increase the confidence in dealerships as opposed to aftermarket retailers. More

Lloyd was an outstanding salesman...but I have to say I use the term "salesman" loosely. I did not feel haggled or harrassed at all. He was very helpful and didn't give any of the typical BS that other dea use the term "salesman" loosely. I did not feel haggled or harrassed at all.
