As an independent older woman, I was never talked down to or treated differently. In my experience with buying or repairing cars, that is huge. We notice. William Hunt was my sales associate and, in my opinion, is a wonderful example of the Sewell ethic. Professional, but personable; knowledgeable, handling my questions with ease. Will's comfortable manner simply took the stress out of car buying. But then everyone that I came into contact with at Sewell Subaru had that same energy. A wonderful experience. P.S. LOVE my Forester! More
Sewell/Will Hunt to the Rescue Our BMW X5 was just out of warranty and would in need some costly repairs. On the fly, my wife and I? went to Sewell Subaru since we love the dealers Our BMW X5 was just out of warranty and would in need some costly repairs. On the fly, my wife and I? went to Sewell Subaru since we love the dealership. Unfortunately, where we are with our finances we needed our X5 paid off and a lower payment on the Subaru. We were headed towards leasing and this situation helped us. Will worked with our monthly figure and was super duper patient, helpful, fill up our gas and washed our car twice. He was super transparent and helpful in getting us comfortable. He was great to my daughters too. Special recognition for Michael the finance manager to getting my deal done. We leased a 2020 Ascent Touring and we love the SUV with so much more space for the 3rd row. I? would recommend picking this dealership and paying a little more one time and get this great dealership who prides themselves on first class service!! I've recommended Will/Sewell to 2 friends that are in the market for a new Subaru. More

Beware Sewell If You Like Your Money! We've determined that Mr. Sewell's value proposition does not align with our needs and today's pricing transparency for auto purchases. We had done o We've determined that Mr. Sewell's value proposition does not align with our needs and today's pricing transparency for auto purchases. We had done our homework and due diligence in advance to determine that our 2019 Subaru Forester should cost $34k and our 2017 Lexus NXT was worth $27k, so we should have been at $7k net. The Sales Manager started at $13,200 (almost full MSRP for the Subaru and saying our car was worth $23.5k, which is just absurd) and then came back at $10,300. We had thought since our Lexus had 21k miles and was in very good condition that it could be certified, hence our visit to Sewell since it represents both brands. The Sales Manager stated that our tires had only 4 mil of tread. I used my tread depth tool and measured 6 mil, which corroborated what I was told during our recent service at another Lexus dealer. We also test drove a loaner with 5k miles and our preferred color combo only to be subsequently advised it could not be sold to us. We quickly excused ourselves, had lunch, drove 15 miles to a Subaru competitor and had a deal almost exactly at our number within 30 minutes. We even received a Sewell notecard from our salesperson (not the Sales Manager) expressing sincere apologies and regret for how we were treated. Certainly a very stark and different experience from what is happily portrayed in Sewell's television commercials. We prefer to purchase a vehicle with transparent pricing instead of the old way my Dad had to endure, negotiating $500 at a time. I will never visit a Sewell dealership again. More
RAB problems Have trouble with RAB? The service department is trained to lie about this topic. They can't keep it from randomly stopping the car and snapping your Have trouble with RAB? The service department is trained to lie about this topic. They can't keep it from randomly stopping the car and snapping your neck, they can't fix it because Subaru won't correct the problem, Subaru will not recall their cars no matter what. With 13,000 miles I would gladly dump the car but because I am a little more honest than they are I can't in good conscience pass it off as being worth the money I should get for it. Stay away from Sewell, just the usual car dealer bull. More
Bad service My issue started when I brought my car in for a check engine light and a couple other warranty issues. I pick up the car and there is a huge door di My issue started when I brought my car in for a check engine light and a couple other warranty issues. I pick up the car and there is a huge door ding on the driver door. My wife points it out to the service rep, we go in and watch the video and they determine it was their fault and would fix it. A few days pass, I go to pick up my car, when I pick up my car it is dirty. NEVER have I ever seen sewell give a customer a dirty car, the service rep said it rained earlier that morning and that was the reason. Earlier meaning around 6am and this was around 1pm I'm picking the car up. Ok, no big deal I take the car. I drive the car to my wife, she notices there's grease all over headliner and on driver door panel. Then she notices damage on rear bumper cover. She is livid, and I'm irritated. So I call and ask to speak with the service manager Brian Walker. He asked me to bring the car. I get there, he looks over the car and we go into his office. We sit in his office for over 20 minutes going over camera footage and he determines the damage was done by you guys as the damage wasn't there when I dropped the car off. He says he can't paint the bumper and make it match because it's plastic and wouldn't match. He offers a 300 check, and a full detail and buff. He points out a scuff that would be addressed when they buff the car. I get the car back, the scuff is still there, and I think maybe the scuff wouldn't come out while being buffed. I get it home, take some wax and it comes right off. Meaning Brian lied to me about the buff job. Considering all the other stuff that's happened its no shock and the least of my worries More
Great dealership, great make, fabulous salesman, Pat Bentel You cannot go wrong at Sewell Subaru. For me, Sewell Subaru was a hidden secret. I had a misconception of Subaru's as tiny cars. But, just like oth You cannot go wrong at Sewell Subaru. For me, Sewell Subaru was a hidden secret. I had a misconception of Subaru's as tiny cars. But, just like other makes, Subaru's come in all sizes, and the technology is as great or better than other makes. The value is indisputable. And Sewell Subaru, as a dealership in Dallas, provides its buyers all of the extra's that are usually only at luxury brand dealerships, such as free loaners when cars are serviced & free car washes. Salesman, Pat Bentel, is a terrific representative of Sewell Subaru. I especially appreciated his allowing me to test drive the Subaru on the toll road, as well as test-experience the amazing rear emergency braking with a yellow cone. More
True World Class My wife and I had an incredible experience with Clay Johnson at Sewell Subaru of Dallas. This dealership really does value every client or potential c My wife and I had an incredible experience with Clay Johnson at Sewell Subaru of Dallas. This dealership really does value every client or potential client and try extremely hard. We'd never bought a Subaru before and had a really crappy Jeep before (seriously just a piece of s**t) that constantly broke down. We had a beating getting that car serviced from different dealerships that treated us poorly, etc. Anyways, so we came to Sewell of Subaru to exchange our jeep for a used CPO 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6r touring, all white, bad mother. We initially looked at the foresters and liked them but fell in love with the more powerful 3.6r outback model. Never did we feel sold or pressured by Clay or anyone at the dealership. They were upfront about anything that might have happened to the car. No surprises and I trust if I had found something later, they would do the right thing. We became a Subaru family because of this dealership and they've earned buckets of my money for years to come... hopefully all going to Clay. Cheers and good luck Sewell Subaru!! Kevin M. p.s. free car washes - free loaner car during service - roadside assistance within certain mile radius. they rock! More
Airbag replacement that ended in other broken things. Got a letter from Subaru stating that the Takata airbags were recalled. I have been through this before with my Honda, so no big deal. Called to make Got a letter from Subaru stating that the Takata airbags were recalled. I have been through this before with my Honda, so no big deal. Called to make an appointment to drop off the car. When I got to the dealership early this next morning, they said “um... we don't have the airbag in stock.” Something as big as a Takata airbag recall should be handled better! The scheduler should at least know the stock situation. Had to drive back home and wait for the airbag to come in a week later. Rescheduled again and made sure they actually had my airbag before making the drive into town to drop the car off. They had previously agreed to provide a loaner car, and imagine my surprise when they tried to stick me with a compact car from some other maker. I had to ask them to provide an equivalent model to my Outback. I returned a couple days later, picked up my car and noticed when I got home that some dash parts had been broken in the airbag replacement. I also had a driver's door window switch that suddenly stopped working and a windshield washer motor that didn't have as much pressure. Odd, huh? When I quizzed the CSR about the coincidence of this and the dash parts being broken he responded very defensively and seemed incredulous that I would make such an association. I did not take the car back to get these items addressed as it is not really worth the fight. I can't say for certain the door switch or the washer was their fault, and the dash parts aren't that noticeable in the grand scheme of things. Maybe just a weird coincidence, but I still didn't appreciate how the guy responded. As a very busy person as most of us are, I prefer to move on and deal with a better dealership next time. More
