This was nothing like that. My salesperson was Ed McGarr and he was extremely low-key and patient with me, even though I asked a lot of questions--I really liked the fact that he had a background in fraud prevention and was comfortable with me checking out some of the numbers. (He was also willing to help with some special circumstances my husband & I had.) Everything just went incredibly smoothly. The finance manager was great too, even though I seem to have forgotten his name temporarily (I know where to get it, it's out in the car, it's just a bit too cold at the moment for me to go out & check!). I may have benefited from the fact that I was buying my car, a Legacy, in December, a time that didn't seem incredibly busy for Subaru dealers in my area, who all seemed to be waiting for the 2017 Impreza to come in, but still, I found their low-pressure and reasonable approach quite refreshing.

Pre-owned, but new to me 5.0 star rating 10/25/2016 Purchased a pre owned forester here. Linda Manning was the sales person assisting me through the process. After decades of 5.0 star rating 10/25/2016 Purchased a pre owned forester here. Linda Manning was the sales person assisting me through the process. After decades of toyota scion ownership, I test drove several Subaru models. Linda was knowledgeable, patient and kind. Her demeanor is professional and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure I had what I needed. Seek her out if you want a sales person who is no pressure yet attentive. She made the experience fun and was a joy to work with. Ken, the finance wizard, is a stand out as well. I got a great rate on my first car loan ever. Too bad he couldn't work his magic on my grad school loan !!! Everyone I met at this dealership was respectful and courteous. In all, I highly recommend Riverhead Bay Subaru. Great town, great dealership. Go there if you are in the market. AND ASK FOR LINDA MANNING!!! She won't steer you wrong! More
Most helpful dealership I have been to, hands down! Every single employee there was reasonable, helpful and not at all pushy. I dread buying cars because of how quick dealerships try and rope you in. No Every single employee there was reasonable, helpful and not at all pushy. I dread buying cars because of how quick dealerships try and rope you in. No one at this dealership did that. Joe Pasqualo helped me set up my new forester and he was basically a human car manual. Every question I asked he knew the answer to and the other employees that handled the sale were more than reasonable price wise. The dealership was referred to me by a close friend and although it was over an hour from me, I would not even think of buying a Subaru from another dealership. Outstanding group of people there. I would stick to Subaru as a car for the dealership alone. The car is amazing though so that can't be the only reason :) More

Their online rep Tim McChtchan is Johnie on the spot, getting back fast and to the point, going the extra mile to send back clear photos of requests. Following up his mission to please, brought sales rep Linda Manning to meet me with an introduction and presentation of my interests. After that it's history I'm comfortable in my new outback. OK, not without a small hitch in my credit history. The business manager Jeff Lewis seems like an old pal. He spent time to help me and resolve my issues along with his personal touches to help complete my purchase. I did have to come back a week after purchase for some further explanation of my new outback options. Linda my sales rep covered all the bases and quickly resolved all my mysteries. The reason for coming back again and again is the service. Mason Voss had been my guy for several years and several out backs. One more thing. If you need a ride around town just ask Martin, a fine gentleman. More
Purchase of new Outback Having been in the automotive business myself for over 35 years, I have quite a bit of experience on what it takes to make a customer happy and confid Having been in the automotive business myself for over 35 years, I have quite a bit of experience on what it takes to make a customer happy and confident with their dealership experience. The Riverhead Bay Subaru team are the best I've come to know. George Reveliotis was super helpful with the purchase of our 2017 Outback. Ed McGarr was our sales rep and was one of the most friendly and low pressure salesman I've yet to meet. Ken Housner closed the transaction with perfection, while Linda Manning showed my wife and I all the features of our new car. She was more than patient with all our questions and very knowledgeable about the product. I couldn't ask for a better experience. Well done Riverhead Bay Subaru. Thank you! More

Our salesperson, Ed, was very focused on our satisfaction and is a genuinely good guy. He was a patient listener (no sales pressure), offered great advice and was just a pleasure to work with. Ken in the finance department was also great - he also offered excellent advice and was very authentic and sincere. Though we started our search looking for a used Outback, we ultimately ended up getting a new 2016 Outback. The entire process was pleasant and we felt like the team at Riverhead Subaru was extremely professional. Compared to the other dealerships we spoke to on Long Island, Riverhead Subaru was head and shoulders above them all. If you're looking for a humanized car buying experience, go directly to Riverhead Subaru. More
Best car buying experience From our first visit and meeting sales rep Linda Manning we knew where we wanted to buy our next Subaru. No pressure, knowledge of the cars, and upon From our first visit and meeting sales rep Linda Manning we knew where we wanted to buy our next Subaru. No pressure, knowledge of the cars, and upon leaving hearing Linda say, "when you're ready I'd like to have a chance to earn your business". A few months later we returned and had a great buying experience from beginning to end. Linda and manager George Reveliotis were professional, friendly and helpful in putting us into our new Outback (which we love) with the options and color that we wanted at a great price. Even the dreaded business manager (whose name escapes me) was a good guy. Wouldn't hesitate to send friends to Linda and RHB again! More

We went to many dealers and in the end they gave us the best price, kept us fully updated on our factory order and they answered the dozens of questions we had as first time Subaru outback purchasers. We highly recommend them! More
Don't bother going to the other Subaru dealers We visited 9 Subaru dealers on Long Island all in one day. The experiences went from Ho-Hum to us literally running out on one salesman who thought we We visited 9 Subaru dealers on Long Island all in one day. The experiences went from Ho-Hum to us literally running out on one salesman who thought we just fell off the turnip truck and refused to give a straight answer to very simple questions like- "What is your best price for a Crosstrek with these features" Our salesman at Riverhead Bay Subaru was Tony Novellino and even though he is very young he was by far the most professional, knowledgeable, well versed on the vehicle and all around good guy that we met that day. The entire process could not have been easier PLUS we got a great price with no BS back and forth haggling. We financed the car and picked it up the next day at the time promised. It is worth the drive to Riverhead for a great experience and deal make sure you ask for Tony. More
