Brought to my attention that my Isaac and Achilles were very helpful at getting my car serviced. They told me it would take about 2 hours and it did! Brought to my attention that my brakes by the next service time should be replaced but we’re good until then. Having that forewarning is helpful to budget! They also washed my car as part of the service! More

Problematic Battery Requiring Multiple Jump Starts. My car had required to be jump start multiple times after 16 months, especially after sitting 5 days not driven. It was brought into Putnam for servic My car had required to be jump start multiple times after 16 months, especially after sitting 5 days not driven. It was brought into Putnam for service and battery issue on 8/31/16. Per technicians, the trunk lights have been known to drain battery when in auto mode. So, I placed all interior lights in the off position. I was scared/nervous to approach my car in the middle of the night because all the interior lights are off. I went with a new car to avoid the stress factors of owning a used car. Subaru America was contacted regarding dead battery issue, was given a voucher for a free battery. But, I didn't use the voucher, because I trusted/believed in Putman service dept. Again, dead battery issue was brought to the attention of service dept. on 3/2/17, then 1/24/18. Each time the battery passed the test and had more power than the norm, according to the technicians. If this is the case, why then does the battery frequently is dead??? On 3/22/18 the car was dead after sitting 3-5 days at Sunny Auto Shop for body work. Manager there was shocked, couldn't believe that this car is completely dead!!! On May 9, 2018 it failed the test. The service manager refused to change the battery at no cost to me because now the warranty has expired, and it's only 2 weeks past expiration!!!! THIS BATTERY SHOULD OF BEEN CHANGED on 3/2/17, if not then, it should of been done on 1/24/18!!! I had to contact Subaru America (once again) to cover the cost for new battery. IT IS LOUSY OF PUTNAM service depart. to not cover this battery since it had been problematic when car was less than 2 years old. This is a poor and inconsiderate judgement call in customer servicing!!! Service dept. manager would benefit from recognizing that covering the cost of a battery is insignificant to Putman customer service as a whole. I had had high regards and had recommended Putman in Burlingame to multiple colleagues because of my past positive experiences from sales to service dept. One of the colleagues bought her Forester from Putnam in Burlingame. But, after May 9, 2018 experience, I'm doubtful to recommend and/or return to Putnam Subaru. Thank you for your time. More
