This was a big purchase f My experience at Van Bortal Subaru was very respectful. There was excellent customer service and attention to me personally. This was a big purchase for me and I did not feel like I had to go through the dealership dance. I was able to get exactly the vehicle that I wanted and I was not pressured into anything that I didn't want. All of my questions were answered and I absolutely love my new ascent! Although there were other Subaru dealerships closer to my home it was worth the trip and I would recommend this dealership. More

I knew that I wanted a Subaru Forester and I knew that Van Bortel had a good reputation for being honest and upright in their dealings with customers. Nate was my sales rep and he took me through the process of getting the right car for me.

I am very impressed and happy! This is my first Subaru and I didn't know a lot about them except that they are safe, good in bad weather and attractive. Nate Chandler was such a bi This is my first Subaru and I didn't know a lot about them except that they are safe, good in bad weather and attractive. Nate Chandler was such a big help informing me about Subaru and about the 2 models I inquired about. It was an easy decision for me to say that I definitely wanted the Crosstrek to be my next car. Nate made the process clear, easy and enjoyable. I could tell he truly wanted to make sure that I was comfortable and excited about the decisions I was making. He helped me think through the options carefully and I ended up with exactly what I was hoping for. I highly recommend Nate and I have been telling other about him and my great experience with Van Bortel. Maryanne was great at explaining the financing and additional coverage on the vehicle. She made it easy and I was very happy with the final payment. More
Exceptional Experience with Nate Chandler I recently worked with Nate Chandler at Van Bortel Subaru of Rochester on the purchase of a Legacy. Nate’s professional, no gimmick approach to workin I recently worked with Nate Chandler at Van Bortel Subaru of Rochester on the purchase of a Legacy. Nate’s professional, no gimmick approach to working with customers enabled me to find the model and trim level which is a pleasure to drive. He answered questions by cell, email, and in person as I worked toward my final choice. When it came to purchase, Nate offered to order the car to my specifications and did not pressure me into purchasing an in stock vehicle or attempt to up sell trim or model. His estimate for delivery time was realistic. It was a delight to receive his call when the car arrived earlier than expected. Nate handled all delivery arrangements closing the sale with an exceptional customer experience. Thanks Nate! More
