Had an appointment for 10:00 AM for service related to a recall on my Subaru Impreza. Service was completed by 12:30 PM even though they set me with the expectation that it could take up to 4-5 hours. I was recall on my Subaru Impreza. Service was completed by 12:30 PM even though they set me with the expectation that it could take up to 4-5 hours. I was delighted to have them offer to get me a lyft so I could wait in the comfort of my home and didn't have to pay for it myself! All service agents were respectful, professional, and courteous.

Not really thrilled to find the brake smoking after brake work at Kendall. They seem to have set or adjusted the hand brake so that it doesn't fully release. work at Kendall. They seem to have set or adjusted the hand brake so that it doesn't fully release. More
Untrustworthy Service Department I had an unfortunate first experience with Kendall Subaru of Fairbanks that has left me with the impression that their service department is not I had an unfortunate first experience with Kendall Subaru of Fairbanks that has left me with the impression that their service department is not trustworthy. In January 2020, I received a letter from Subaru corporate notifying me of a Takata Airbag Inflator safety recall on my passenger side. I called Kendall Subaru of Fairbanks shortly afterwards, initially was told by the service advisor that there were NO open recalls on my vehicle, and had to convince them that the letter I received was legitimate. I was then scheduled for the earliest available appointment of May 13, 2020. Due to safety concerns that the service was scheduled almost four months out, I asked to be placed on a call-back list for any earlier appointments. I was never contacted prior to the scheduled service date. Today, May 13, 2020, I brought my 2011 Subaru Outback in for the safety recall service. Upon pickup, I was recommended by their service advisor, David Bolt, to have my power steering, brake fluid, transmission fluid, and front/rear differential fluids changed because they were dirty. When I notified Mr. Bolt that I had many of the aforementioned fluids changed within the last two weeks, he quickly backtracked that the recommendations were being made because of my Outback's current mileage. Mr. Bolt then proceeded to direct me to the incorrect vehicle in the parking lot. Upon finding my vehicle on the other side of the building, I noticed that a figurine of sentimental value that had been on my dashboard that morning was missing. I searched in my glove box, middle console, underneath the seats, and underneath all floor mats to no avail before notifying Mr. Bolt. Mr. Bolt assured me "this is something that happens all the time" as he attempted to personally locate the figurine in my vehicle without success. Upon giving my recommendation that they have all customers remove personal items from the dash for similar repairs and verbalizing my exacerbation, Mr. Bolt walked away from me back into the dealership. I feel like I now have legitimate trust concerns with their service department. After my experience I spoke with their service manager, Michael, over the phone about my concerns with the missing figurine, the inappropriate recommendations from his service staff, and my lack of trust that the airbag inflator repair was even performed. Even after that conversation, I feel obligated to take my Outback to a third party shop to ensure that the passenger air bag inflator was replaced. I cannot recommend enough that you steer clear of Kendall Subaru of Fairbank's Service Department. More
No appointment - wonderful help Driving a little more than 100 miles from home in 8 below zero, our driver's side window would not go up all the way. Eight below in Fairbanks isn't Driving a little more than 100 miles from home in 8 below zero, our driver's side window would not go up all the way. Eight below in Fairbanks isn't that cold unless you are driving with an open window! Took our 2013 Outback to Kendall Subaru, hoping for some emergency assistance - without an appointment, we had no idea of what to expect. We were immediately taken in and told by David Bolt said he would look at it. Shortly, he announced that he thought he'd be able to fix it and would take about 20 minutes. We were shown to the waiting room which was furnished with lots of comfy seats, complimentary coffee and a wide screen TV. After just about 20 minutes, our vehicle was repaired. We were very pleasantly surprised to find out that we would not be charged anything at all! Best treatment from any Subaru dealer-Ever! Or treatment and the service was greatly appreciated. Service like this is hard to find these days...... More
