Buyer Beware! Illigal activities going on!!! So speaking of my knowledge of this dealership I can tell you from fact that a percentage of the used vehicles on the lot come from auction meaning th So speaking of my knowledge of this dealership I can tell you from fact that a percentage of the used vehicles on the lot come from auction meaning that they are flood vehicles or have some other underling problem. Many of the vehicles will develope problems due to the fact that they were submerged in water. This fact is so apparent due to discoloring of interior carpets, electrical problems, and a foul odour. Some salesman there will tell you the vehicles went through an inspection before going onto the lot, but I had seen vehicles come straight from auction right onto the lot after we put tags on them. None of the vehicles are detailed until after the sale. Once you purchase a vehicle YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR 100% OF THE MECHANICAL ISSUES. Some customers don't even make it off the lot before the car gives them problems. Often even on test drives cars will break down leaving the customer to walk back to the dealership. Now getting to the processes, you will be ushered into a cubicle and you will be asked to provide some "necessary" information before even being able to look at car. They will blaintantly lie to you about a credit check. The kind of credit check they do WILL harm your score! So these sales managers should be in jail. Assuming you are smart enough and decide to split before being sold a lemon, you will be written a scam pre approval for an amount of money down you had not agreed to so that the "banks" can get you into a car. You will be told if you have your credit checked elsewhere it'll void you BS preapproval. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS!!! Going back to the inventory. I had whitnessed a new 2017 Subaru BRZ special addition inside the building be infiltrated by a rat. It is my belief that it had nested and chewed through several wires causing electrical problems. Going back to the used inventory, many of the cars are labeled incorrectly with the wrong year, in all cases a year newer than the actual vehicle was. In additions, if you are oblivious enough to my stern warning, you will be lied to by GM David Cardona, GSM Nathan Arn, and the floor managers. Mike Zamora in Service will lie to your face and treat you like a subhuman regarding your service. Do it trust these people to fill up your windshield whisper fluid!!!! They'll fill it up with beer, just like the ones they drink on the job with!!! What a joke!!!! I'm just scratching the surface on this dealership, I expect to gather more information to warn the public about the great big scam going on at Corpus Christi Subaru. I will be posting another review as I am not going to be able to fit everything in, I'll just leave you with the fact the the salespeople crest hostile work environments and some consume illicit drugs in the job. DO NOT BUY HERE!!!!!!! More
Tricked and Deceived When I asked for the price of the Forester that I was considering the salesman took me to his office to get some "necessary" information. He said he n When I asked for the price of the Forester that I was considering the salesman took me to his office to get some "necessary" information. He said he needed to pull a soft credit on me to be able to see what kind of deal they could offer me. I specifically verified with him that I did not want a hard credit pulled and he said "oh no this won't affect your credit at all." The car they had on the lot was not my first color choice so I was not ready to commit to the deal. I tried to ask them about ordering the car in my preferred color but they were just too intent on selling the one on the lot. I left and went the next day to San Antonio (two hours away) and purchased the color I wanted from a very professional salesman at North Park Subaru. A week later I was devastated to see that the Corpus Christi dealership had indeed pulled a hard credit inquiry on me without my permission and which I will have to live with for two years. I called the manager about it to complain and he really just denied it and kept saying that it "wouldn't have been a hard inquiry." I even emailed a screen shot of the details to prove it to him but no response. I sent the information to the dealership owner and again no response. I highly recommend North Park Subaru in San Antonio, but would steer completely clear of Corpus Christi Subaru More
Service Center Takes too long The service center sucks!! they took way too long to replace a default sensor, stating that they were waiting on the parts to arrive, but wanted my ca The service center sucks!! they took way too long to replace a default sensor, stating that they were waiting on the parts to arrive, but wanted my car to sit there waiting this whole time for a week, really?!!?!! And at one point when they performed my first oil change they managed to scratch paint off of my car door, in which I had to wait another 2-3 days by the time I received my car back with new paint!! Pay attention to how your vehicle comes out of the service department before you leave the lot, they do not care, because it's not their car and they don't give a xxxx. The big boned guy with blonde hair seems as if he don't want to work in the a/c and hardly literally gets up let alone touch the keyboard, is very rude, and plain out seems uninformed/knowledgeable in the service department. He rather give you the run around answer so he doesn't have to do anything. Deal with Mike he is a much better service department person who will do his best to help you, is very professional, and knows how to deal/handle a difficulty and frustrating situation without giving you the runaround or attitude.

Liars and cheats!! Bottom Line: CCSubaru required me to put down a $3000 "refundable" deposit in order to be given time to talk to my wife who was at the hospital. Gav Bottom Line: CCSubaru required me to put down a $3000 "refundable" deposit in order to be given time to talk to my wife who was at the hospital. Gave decision (no) before start of business next day. Nearly a month later and they still have my money. I've received several variations of the "checks in the mail" excuse. Submitted complaint through BBB. Omar the GM flat out lied on his response saying that he had spoken to me (never spoken to the man in my life) and told me it takes 7 to 10 days to process a refund. Never mind it was already almost 20 days. Do not buy a car from these people. They are out to screw their customers! I was a fool to trust them, but I had not been warned. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!
