Great team! I leased my first vehicle at Island subaru this week and had a great experience with Sal Mazella and the rest of the team! I hadn't known how importan I leased my first vehicle at Island subaru this week and had a great experience with Sal Mazella and the rest of the team! I hadn't known how important it would be to have someone who you feel is knowledgeable and on your side when making as big a commitment as big as a car purchase, and the team went above and beyond. I know that ultimately they were just trying to finish a deal, but their hard work and care is much appreciated. I also got a great deal!!!! More

They are not reputable! Buyer Beware! On May 24, 2016, I went to Island Subaru to see a 2013 Subaru Forester advertised on their website for $18,900, certified used. After I agreed to buy On May 24, 2016, I went to Island Subaru to see a 2013 Subaru Forester advertised on their website for $18,900, certified used. After I agreed to buy the car, I was told there was a certified used fee over and above the price of the car. So I paid $20,775 for the car. Island Subaru said they had to drive it 50 miles before they could inspect it. So it was delivered to my house the next day. When it arrived the next day, it had one key. I was entitled to 2 keys for certified used. Not knowing I was entitled to 2 keys, I paid to have a second key made at the Subaru dealer in Bay Ridge which is much closer to me . Island Subaru will not reimburse me for the second key. A few days after we got the car, we realized the bracket that holds the battery in place was cracked and the battery was rattling around. The USB port also wasn't working, which I specifically asked about before agreeing to buy the car. Last week, the brake light started to come on so I took it back to Bay Ridge Subaru and was told there was no oil or brake fluid in the car. An open recall had also not been performed before the car was sold to me. I specifically paid the extra money for a certified used car so I would not have these problems. This dealer has shady business practices! A certified used car should not have been sold with no oil or brake fluid! I was not given what I paid for! Is this the reputation you want for Subaru? In just over a month, I have been back to service 3 times. When I tried to call Island Subaru about this issue, the phone just rang and rang. I called on different times and different days, during their posted business hours. On one occasion, I got a person who took a message and said "I'll check into this and call back tomorrow, I never heard from her again. Two other times, they transferred me to my salesman, and the phone just rang and rang. I was never able to get a manager on the phone. I finally asked the Island Subaru online chat window for the manager's number. They said they didn't have the number, and asked for my number. I gave it. The manager never called me, but I got texts and emails trying to sell me a car! I finally got Greg Kemp on the phone. He has been no help at all. He did not seem to care at all that I was not given what I was promised and what I paid for. I am extremely disappointed in my experience with Island Subaru. I have spent needless hours taking care of problems that I should never have had. This dealer is disreputable. More

great experience I just got a 2016 forester xt from the guys at Island Subaru. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a car dealership. From start to I just got a 2016 forester xt from the guys at Island Subaru. This was one of the best experiences I've ever had with a car dealership. From start to finish they went out of their way to make sure i was happy with every aspect of the purchase. It was refreshing to have a car buying experience that made me feel like i was actually an appreciated customer, and to find a dealership that went above and beyond to find me exactly what i was looking for. They even called me a week after i got the car to make sure i was happy with everything. Thank you Island Subaru, my highest recommendation. More

Take that old notion of a car sal I bought my new Forester at Island. I had the pleasure of dealing with John Espinoza and the sales manger Greg Kemp. Take that old notion of a car salesman and throw it out the window. They couldn't do enough for me. They called, texted and even emailed me to make sure i was happy with my purchase. My Forester had to be ordered and they kept me posted every step of the way. When i picked up my vehicle John was off and Sam Chyorny filled in for him, so now i delt with three members of Island Subaru's staff and they were outstanding! I refer to those three as the dream team. More
