Great sales experience and easy to work with. Only concern was the new car took longer to arrive than expected because of the ownership change.

I took my Outback in for a regular service. I also asked for a detail. Service called to see if the wipers should be replaced. We said yes. Ramsey the had it for 48+ hours with no communication. Finally, I for a detail. Service called to see if the wipers should be replaced. We said yes. Ramsey the had it for 48+ hours with no communication. Finally, I went in. Service could not find the paperwork. I sat around for another 30 minutes while they tried to figure out where it was. I think this is because they were UNDERSTAFFED. Two people were trying to do the work of four. More

I have a lot more than 25 words to say about this dealership. First overall, it is well above average. Second there are a few of your staff that I've had occasion to argue with because they want to dealership. First overall, it is well above average. Second there are a few of your staff that I've had occasion to argue with because they want to decide how I spend my money rather explain or recommend with justification how I might make the decision. Recently I've seen some confusion and disorganization in the service department I couldn't explain until I learned about the ownership change. My hope is that with the end of COVID 19 and some re-orientation this will be a bit smoother. I'm loyal to the Ramsey name and it remains to be seen if I can be loyal to the new ownership. Thank You for giving me this opportunity. More

I was told 3 times that I would have a loner car. Then I sat in the waiting room for 2.5 hours before I was told that actually I couldn’t have a loner car after all.

They won’t let me leave it at that so I will just have to say that the rest if this forced 25 word minimum is forced. So there. If I knew I had to write more than I intended just to meet done advertisers whims, I would have said forget it. But I only continued because I think Ramsey’s Subaru service is good. Can’t say that about this stupid dealer rater. More

Not the usual caring service. Jerry was the usual - passing the buck. Try not to have to deal with him. In the past he tried to sell me a tire I didn’t need. Said it wasn’t fixable as to close to th passing the buck. Try not to have to deal with him. In the past he tried to sell me a tire I didn’t need. Said it wasn’t fixable as to close to the sidewall. Got other opinions. Discount Tire said they would know until the looked. It was fixable and they did it fir free. That was 2017 and it is still being drivien. It was on my 2010 Outback. 100000 mile tire. He had to send his tire back. Don’t know for sure yet that the oil leak was fixed. He blamed it on the last oil change. Problem is that it was discovered before the last oil change. He was rather rude. More

Ramsey should have been better prepar near made my wife not want to deal with Ramsey! If it weren't for JJ's honesty you would have lost this sale. Ramsey should have been better prepared for the issues your computer change caused us and I am certain many others. Not to mention your employees!! More
