MetroWest Subaru

I'm shocked at reviews I'm reading below about this dealership I had a great time buying a car there. I live in Medford Ma. and had been looking for a Pre-Owned WRX Wagon for my fiance and our dogs. A dealership I had a great time buying a car there. I live in Medford Ma. and had been looking for a Pre-Owned WRX Wagon for my fiance and our dogs. A friend suggested MetroWest because they had the most extensive Pre-Owned Certified Inventory in all of Mass if not NE. So I wondered over and slide into the lot trying to be descret within a few minutes a guy came over and said hello and asked what brought me by that day. I explained my goals he said no problem let's make this real easy for you. We went inside and he completely reviewed the Certification Program and why it's a great way to buy a pre-owned vehicle. Even another Salesman that had nothing to do with us offered to get me a coffee and snack (that was pretty cool)Within minutes my Sales man Andy said I have three cars to show you that match your criteria (one I was already a fan of based on seeing it on there website metrowestsubaru.com)So I primarily showed interest in that car, test drove and fell in love with my soon to be WRX. Their price was already Market low based on research and adding in the Certification and they did a few extra things I requested I was completing paperwork within an hour and driving my vehicle home with a sticker registered in a total of maybe three hours (not to shabby for a car dealer). The General Manager Mike Petrick even got my dog some water and biscuit's and they had no problem having her sit by the desk. I guess I just understand in the world things aren't always perfect, but if the people trying to help me are doing just that, I couldn't be happier. I'm referring everyone I know to them in the future (they will provide a financial benefit to me for doing so)but I would do it first to know my friends and family have a good experience. Kudo's to MetroWest Subaru!!! More

I purchased a 2010 Forester XT on 16 April 2010. I purchased a 2010 Forester XT on 16 April 2010. I was told it had lumbar support, which was the deciding factor for the XT vs the Limited X I purchased a 2010 Forester XT on 16 April 2010. I was told it had lumbar support, which was the deciding factor for the XT vs the Limited XT. I negotiated a Subaru single bike roof rack after being assured it would fit while using a Thule Luggage Carrier - it does not. I was promised the round aero-cross rails and was given the cheaper flat set. I asked for a comp inspection sticker as part of the price negotiations- they tried to sneak in the $29.00 at closing... and last - the salesmen told me I could run regular gas rather than High-Test with the Turbo, and that the computer would compensate for it ( I can, IF I want to destroy the engine.) Be very careful with these guys, they are very friendly until they have your check. It is really kind of sad, If they had told me it didn't have the lumbar support, I would of purchased the more expensive model. By the way I love the Forester, and the way it handles, however I have no use for this dealer- and do not appreciate having the sales-manager call me a liar. We also have a 2009 Outback 2.5 Limited- A Wonderful wagon! Philip.Anastasia@gmail.com Feel free to email me if you have any questions. More

I stopped by to take a look at some subarus for my girlfriend. We were in a toss up between the outback and the outback sport. Our test drive was good. Our salesperson showed us a lot about the car an girlfriend. We were in a toss up between the outback and the outback sport. Our test drive was good. Our salesperson showed us a lot about the car and was very patient. I would highly encourage anyone going there to ask for him. His name is andy. After our drive we decided to go with the outback sport. We went in to talk price after and it broke down from there. They refused to give me ANY ballpark payment numbers without running our credit. Even 70 off would have been ok, but they gave us nothing. Despite the usual repeated trips to the manager. I got fed the usual token of faith bs, and told him we would walk if he couldn't help. The sales manager refused to actually speak with us and had the audacity to make a bet with the salesman that we wouldn't be back. xxxx right we wont when you try that while im in earshot. Ended up buying the car from cityside and having a great experience. Metrowest's reviews speak for themselves. AVOID!!!!! More

I tried to buy a Forester under the "cash for clunkers" program. They had never heard of it but I explained it to them. I made several visits to the showroom and finally agreed on a price and put down a program. They had never heard of it but I explained it to them. I made several visits to the showroom and finally agreed on a price and put down a $500 deposit. Over the next several weeks, I made many phone calls and visits to see when the car would show up on the lot. Answers were evasive. Finally, after I got pissed, they cancelled my order. Very un-professional. They didn't even apologize. Another time, I needed a trailer hitch installed on my Legacy wagon. I called the service department and was told the price. When I arrived to have the work done, I was told the price was for the parts only and not the labor! I asked if that was how they adveritzed an oil change as I stormed out. More

Yelled at over the phone by customer service. Couldn't diagnose a leaking head gasket. diagnose a leaking head gasket. More

I had good luck with MetroWest Subaru. The first time, back in 2005 we closed a deal on a new Outback, only to be told a week later they couldn't get it. Metrowest transferred the deal to Cityside Subaru back in 2005 we closed a deal on a new Outback, only to be told a week later they couldn't get it. Metrowest transferred the deal to Cityside Subaru without issue, where the car was available. Cityside accepted the negotiated price from Metrowest and delivered the car. This was set up by Metrowest. I appreciated the fact they couldn't get me the car I wanted, but were willing (at no benefit to them) to transfer the deal to their competitor. Last week I went back to Metrowest and bought a 2010 Outback. This time they were able to get me the model I wanted VIA a trade with another dealer. I considered them fair and friendly. I've had service done over the past 4 years at MetroWest and have no complaints. btw Great car. More

I usually don't write reviews but after reading the bad comments about this dealership I felt I should say something so people wouldn't be scared away. They were great.

Salesmen were knowledgeable, management was direct and fair. Price was fantastic and they went the extra mile to make sure everything was ready for delivery. More

I was not sure I could afford a new car, so the first thing I said was, "I am looking in the $200-$250 range for a monthly payment." The salesman said, "Great, sounds like you want a Forrester." I was ex thing I said was, "I am looking in the $200-$250 range for a monthly payment." The salesman said, "Great, sounds like you want a Forrester." I was excited, I test drove the car, and the salesman continued to tell me how this would be a great price. After 45 minutes, he brought over quotes on the vehicle that ranged from $378-$425! Complete waste of my time. It is not cool to lead someone on like that, and then drop the money hammer. We immediately shook hands and ran for the exit. More

After visiting a few Subaru dealers in search of a 2008 Forester, I settled (foolishly) upon MetroWest Subaru of Natick. Up until I actually had to get the car, things went relatively smoothly. However, af Forester, I settled (foolishly) upon MetroWest Subaru of Natick. Up until I actually had to get the car, things went relatively smoothly. However, after signing a deal on Tuesday, I didn't hear back from them about the car's readiness until the following week, and this was only after I initiated a series of calls. After a WEEK AND A HALF and countless phone calls during which I was told that it "wasn't (their) fault - the car's still in Rhode Island, I called once again (they never called me when they said they would) and Michael the manager told me that if I couldn't be patient I could just forget it and he'd sell the car to someone else. No apologies, no gracious concessions, no nothing. I feel like such a boob for being beholden to these incompetent and condescending "salespeople." As another blogger wrote, "If MetroWest's goal is to not sell cars, they're doing a really good job!" They should rename their dealership MetroWest Boobaru. More

Test drove an Outback and was all set to buy. When I told the salesman that this would be done through my company's leasing program (for a company car), he told me that they nor any dealer of any make would the salesman that this would be done through my company's leasing program (for a company car), he told me that they nor any dealer of any make would make such a deal (despite me having done so two times before), and said goodbye. I walked next door to Volkswagen and had a deal within thirty minutes. If Metrowest Subaru's goal is avoiding sales, they sure do a good job! More
