I recently had an incredibly disappointing experience at North Fort Lauderdale Subaru, and I feel compelled to share my story to warn potential customers. What started as an exciting purchase quickly turned North Fort Lauderdale Subaru, and I feel compelled to share my story to warn potential customers. What started as an exciting purchase quickly turned into a nightmare due to their dishonest practices and poor after-sale services. 1.Scam on Price: After agreeing on a price for the vehicle, I was shocked to find additional charges mysteriously added to the final price, Despite my repeated attempts to get a clear explanation, the dealership finance manager, sales and the owner himself were evasive and dismissive. It felt like a classic bait-and-switch tactic to inflate the final cost. 1. After-Sale Services: The after-sale services promised during the sale were either subpar or nonexistent. Basic maintenance and support, which were supposed to be part of the package (I bought a Platinum waranty), after few days I found various malfunction, were suddenly "not responding to my calls and messages to set up an appointment, then I spent 2 weeks with Land Rover dealer to make all the maintenances. 3. Aftermarket Tires Scam: One of the most frustrating aspects was the aftermarket tires. I was assured these would be high-quality and OEM tires for my Range Rover as listed on the ad Bridgestone brand, suitable for my vehicle. Instead they replaced it , I received cheap, poorly-made tires that started showing noise, pulling, vibration and swaying on the road within a few days. When I tried to address this with the dealership and the owner, they refused to take responsibility and blamed it on "normal", so be ready that you will not receive a car as listed on the ad. 4. Untrustworthy Staff: The overall experience left me feeling deceived and taken advantage of. The staff and the owner at North Fort Lauderdale Subaru seemed more interested in making a quick sale than in ensuring customer satisfaction or maintaining integrity (customer centric). Their lack of transparency and accountability is alarming. **Conclusion:** I strongly advise anyone considering purchasing a pre-owned vehicle from North Fort Lauderdale Subaru to think twice. My experience has been nothing short of a nightmare, and I wouldn't want anyone else to go through the same ordeal. There are plenty of reputable dealerships out there—don't waste your time and money on one that engages in such shady practices. More

Went with my own approved loan from my bank, the finance guy Chris fraudulently got my loan increased without my consent, for a FRAUDALENT PROCESS!! Went with my own approved loan from my bank, the finance guy Chris fraudulently got my loan increased without my consent, for almost $2,0000 over my approved loan, increasing the price purchase of the Crosstrek I was buying. Upon discovering through an alert from my bank about the increased loan, I left without purchasing the car, this FRAUDULENT PROCEDURE GOES AGAINST CONSUMERS!! BEWARE!1 More
Purchased a vehicle from North Fort Lauderdale Subaru that was listed for 23k. Expected additional fees (tax, registration, dealer prep, etc.) and there were. Vehicle was used so there was also a rather that was listed for 23k. Expected additional fees (tax, registration, dealer prep, etc.) and there were. Vehicle was used so there was also a rather exorbitant "reconditioning fee" that apparently didn't cover floor mats as the vehicle came without them. The finance person showed me numerous service contracts that I wasn't interested in due to the additional expense but he said that there was a less expensive contract which I agreed to. The sales contract showed the more expensive service contract that I turned down, adding an additional 3k to the purchase. He also told me to finance the vehicle through the dealership's credit union partner instead of my credit union because they would give me a lower interest rate. Turned out my CU's interest rate was a point lower. All in all, the 23k list price became a 31.2k purchase price. Once I discovered the bait and switch service contract I cancelled it and was due a refund (3K) that I was told would take 8-12 wks to process. I asked why it would take so long and was told that that is just the "industry standard." After almost 16 wks still no refund. I called, spoke to the finance person who handled the cancellation and was told he'd look into it. He called back a few hrs later to say that there had been some mishandling of the request and he'd make sure it was rectified. I could expect a check within the next 2 wks. 4 wks go by and no check. I call again and speak to a woman in accounts payable. She doesn't know why I haven't received my refund but will be sure to put a check in the mail with in 48 hrs. Almost 3 wks later, no check. I call again, speak to the same woman who asks me in an incredulous tone - you didn't receive a check? She doesn't know what happened but says that if I don't mind coming to the dealership she'll leave a check for me in the service managers area. Low and behold there actually was a check waiting for me - 5 MONTHS AFTER MY CANCELLATION. Gross incompetence or an intentional delay that benefitted someone? While it could be the former, my gut tells me it's the latter. I don't like being lied to or deceived. My car buying experience at N. Ft Laud Subaru made me feel like I was a victim of both. Buyer beware! More
I went here to look at the Subaru to see if this is the car for me. Or at least the body style. I like hatchbacks / crossovers and SUV's. After waiting for 2 day's, I came back again to see the Subaru Cros car for me. Or at least the body style. I like hatchbacks / crossovers and SUV's. After waiting for 2 day's, I came back again to see the Subaru Crosstrek. I did not want to, but I decided to go on and do a credit app and even told them some stuff up front before they got started. The finance guys came around with a bicycle and said, "You can't get a car. All you can get is this bicycle". I have never felt so violated and verbally / socially abused by people I don't even know. I went to Arrigo Dodge in Margate, Volvo of Coconut Creek and also Lou Bachrodt Mazda and got approved at all 3 places. So, what they were trying to do - did not work. I even contacted Subaru customer service and told them what they did. My roommate even told me to buy a used one and just go elsewhere to have it serviced. In which case, I did consider. Every finance manager and salesperson at these car dealerships said the exact same thing. "That was so disturbing". "That was disrespectful". "What the heck were they thinking." Today, I did buy a hatchback. Not exactly what I want, but I got a better vehicle without going to a Buy Here Pay Here car lot. I did not buy the Subaru, but I did get a Toyota. More
