Slimy sales tactics one who will continue to buy Subaru's, this deal was a sure thing for them, if they had just had some common decency. Instead, they lied to my face, t one who will continue to buy Subaru's, this deal was a sure thing for them, if they had just had some common decency. Instead, they lied to my face, telling me I could do paperwork on a car to "hold" it contingent on seeing the car. When the car came in, I came to check it out, and it was not as described. This 3 year old car had damages from a dog all over the interior, scratches all over the rear interior, what appeared to be burns in the backseat, and a large scratch on the rear bumper. I let the salesman, Kris VanBuren, know that I was not happy with the condition of the car, and he told me the price was fair, but they could fix the bumper. I told him I wasn't going to buy it, and he tossed the paperwork on the desk and told me I had already bought it. This is after he, another salesman, Erik, and the finance person, Jordan, had all told me the day before that everything was contingent on me seeing the car. I told him I absolutely was not buying the car and he stormed out. My husband asked to speak to the sales manager, because we were upset about how we were treated and concerned that they would try to turn in paperwork on a car that we did not want. The sales manager, Brian Taylor (he refused to tell us his name or give us his card, but luckily his photo and name was easy to find on their website), came out to talk to us. He immediately was on the defensive and tried to tell us we had already purchased the car. I told him 3 of his people had told me multiple times that the deal was contingent on seeing the car and asked whether they were all going to lie about this. He began throwing paperwork out on the desk and asking me to show him where it said it was contingent, then proceeded to act like my husband and I were inappropriately angry about the situation and again threatened to turn in finance paperwork on a car we did not want to the bank. We asked him to provide us with the paperwork back and he refused. We asked him to write something up stating that we did not take the car, he refused. We asked him for his name and card, he refused and asked us to leave the store. I spent the rest of the evening extremely concerned that their slimy tactics were going to result in issues with my perfect credit. I was on the phone with my bank and the finance company immediately the following morning asking them to lock up my accounts and credit. The kicker for me is that they knew I was qualified to buy a much more expensive car than the one I was looking at, and I may have if they had shown some common decency. The first car Kris showed me was more, and I told him I would keep it in mind if I didn't like the lower priced one. Why in the world wouldn't he just show some decency and make more commission on the higher priced car? Their behavior was completely bizarre. I bought a new Subaru from Rairdon's in Auburn and had an excellent experience. Save yourself the headache and stay away from Tacoma Subaru. Go somewhere else for piece of mind. More

Pete and Brian Hands down the best team and the best dealership!!! Came in on a whim and within a few hours I was/am the proud owner of a Subaru. Pete and Brian are so awesome and knowledgeable. Never felt pressured whatsoever; they were able to answer all my questions and they were super nice and friendly. I came in on a Saturday afternoon and while they were busy, I was never made to feel rushed. Beyond grateful and happy!!! I've been back since my purchase, and AS ALWAYS, greeted by welcoming helpful staff. More

Terrible Customer Service Bought a 2016 Jeep from Tacoma Subaru about a 3 months ago. While purchasing the vehicle I dealt with about 4-5 different individuals. Which started m Bought a 2016 Jeep from Tacoma Subaru about a 3 months ago. While purchasing the vehicle I dealt with about 4-5 different individuals. Which started my terrible experience with this dealership. While negotiating with individuals I was told that I would receive 2 keys to my vehicle upon purchase... this did not happen. After buying the car I asked why I was only getting one key and i was told that they must have the key at another dealership and that they would get back to me. A week later no word? So I call and am put on hold for 15 minutes then am told my salesman would get back to me. I wait another week, and still no word. This back and forth for another week. I finally get in contact with the salesman and he tell me that he doesn't have a key for me and I should just go buy a new one for around what he says is $80-$90. Mind this is a electric key, with remote start. The next day I am driving my car and the engine light goes off. At this point I am furious and call the GM of the dealership. He tells me there there is nothing he can do for me as "he doesn't know who told me they would get me a second key". Then he tells me they own a jeep dealer and he would try and get me a deal. Today I find out that deal is $290 they want me to pay for this key. THIS IS NOT HOW YOU TREAT CUSTOMERS. Poor customer service all around, terrible experience plain and simple. More

Each time I go to the dealership they treat me and my vehicle with respect. They take care of what needs to be done very quickly, in the timeframe given or faster and I am on my way. There is no heavy sales pitch for more sales or other services and I like that. They don't make fun of the fact that I treat my car as something special, so they carry it over into how they treat Sweet Pea too. More
