Do Not Buy a Car from Them The most dishonest Dealership! Promised me everything but once the deal was closed they did nothing for the problems with my used car. Can't believ The most dishonest Dealership! Promised me everything but once the deal was closed they did nothing for the problems with my used car. Can't believe the poor customer service. Didn't return my calls or emails! All they want to do is sell you a car and be done with you. There are so many other reputable car dealers in CT. Stay away from this Dealership! More

I questioned this because I knew the front passenger tire was 2 pounds low. They rechecked and finally said it was not sealed on the rim and repaired the leak. How is it possible the front breaks are metal to metal just after they did this repair without reporting that I need breaks right away?. It’s a serious safety issue! More

That was a plus! I checked out vehicles from all over New England and none of them could beat their price! Special thanks to them all! More
Worst experience Deffinetly not accommodating to your needs. Needed help getting a car, I don't have any credit, I'm 18,and couldn't have a co signer and all they care Deffinetly not accommodating to your needs. Needed help getting a car, I don't have any credit, I'm 18,and couldn't have a co signer and all they cared about was the sale and not my needs therefore I was not approved for a car loan . Went to central auto group and was taken care of so much better and was approved within an hour with a brand new car. Central auto group was way more attentive to what I brought to the table and was able to make it work. Holmgren was a joke and took 3 days to tell me I needed to put down more money that I had already told them I didn't have More
Thank you for working with me. I recently got my 4th Subaru from Holmgren's. A used Forrester. It was just what I needed. I had a problem and brought it in for service. I talked I recently got my 4th Subaru from Holmgren's. A used Forrester. It was just what I needed. I had a problem and brought it in for service. I talked with Manny and Jason. They set me up with Christine in service. Two weeks later I had another problem. Apparently not all automotive problems can be solved by adding 2 quarts of oil, which I did, then I brought the car back in. After draining the excess oil, Christine found what the problem was, Manny got me into a loaner. I was kept up to date on the progress of my repair. The cost was more reasonable than it would have been at a non Subaru garage. More
Unpleasant From the moment I walked in I was not comfortable. The salesman accompanied me on every test drive and behaved as though I haven't been driving for 25 From the moment I walked in I was not comfortable. The salesman accompanied me on every test drive and behaved as though I haven't been driving for 25 years with a perfect record. The price negotiated for the vehicle was fair at best and when we got to the point of valuing my trade in they gave me a price $3000 below kbb and made a show of calling around to auction houses to get me an extra $200, sufficed to say I walked out without a new vehicle and a bitter taste in my mouth. At another Subaru dealership the following week I was given full kbb trade in value and had a wonderful no pressure down right enjoyable buying experience. More
Would not recommend. This dealer knew I wasn't an experienced car owner and took advantage. I paid fair price for a used car. When I picked it up there was so little gas i This dealer knew I wasn't an experienced car owner and took advantage. I paid fair price for a used car. When I picked it up there was so little gas in it that I had to drive to the gas station next door. It had a lot of road noise on the highway and it turns out they sold me a car that had three snow tires and one regular tire (illegal by the way, which I found out when I took it somewhere else). They provided only one key and no manual. I learned some lessons by buying my first car from a shady dealer. I blame myself (we learn as we go), but people should know to beware of this dealer. More
Bought two 2012 Subarus in two weeks - excellent experience! Bought a Forester for son going to California - he loves it! Then bought an awesome Outback Limited to replace my old LL Bean Outback (also bought at Bought a Forester for son going to California - he loves it! Then bought an awesome Outback Limited to replace my old LL Bean Outback (also bought at Holmgren in '03). Been buying and servicing thru Holmgren Subaru for twenty-five years and always very satisfied. Have highly recommended Holmgren to many friends and family over the years. Justin was fantastic to work with on these two recent acquisitions. Go and visit. Take a test drive. Trust in Justin to take great care in getting the right Subaru for you! More
Bad Customer Service!!! If you are looking for a used car I probably would not trust them. I on the other hand bought a new car and i love it! The price was fair, not great b If you are looking for a used car I probably would not trust them. I on the other hand bought a new car and i love it! The price was fair, not great but fair. I wish I had more time but the car I wanted is hard to get and they go quick. I worked with Justin as a sales person and as a person he seems cool but upon getting to know him and Holmgren better its just a front they put on to get you in a car and get you out of their lives. My car has 600 miles on it and it broke down not even 1 week of ownership and it breaks. I call holmgren and one of the ladies I spoke with told me to call Subaru roadside assistance because there is nothing they can do. At first I was a little shocked by her attitude but in respect to her she was right in a way. Subaru brought the car to Bertera in East Hartford and after it got there I called Justin to ask what I should do his reply was that he didn't know he will talk to his manager and call me back. one week later still have not received a phone call and I tried calling him back twice but both times he was conveniently busy. They are an okay dealership and I wouldn't recommend them but if you do go there you may or may not get good service. I will be taking my car to Bertera from now on. Excellent service!!!! Bertera apologized for this even though it has not been there fault, they put me in a $70,000 rental car which was awesome and they have kept me updated every step of the way. They have been nothing but great to me and are very responsive and very productive. Holmgren is just one of those dealerships that has built there morals around money and greed and not the satisfaction of the customer. Highly disappointed in them and will not be returning to buy another Subaru and neither will anyone I know that asks for a recommendation. More
