The Cream! We can't say enough about our experience with Van Bortel Subaru. We are now three time owners of a Subaru from these folks and each time only gets bet We can't say enough about our experience with Van Bortel Subaru. We are now three time owners of a Subaru from these folks and each time only gets better. I think what sets them apart is the service received after the sale. Each associate seems to really care about the customer and goes out the way to serve our best interests. Special acknowledgement to Peter Rosser in sales, Tammi Standen on the business side, and Marnie Race in the service department...each simply the best! Thank you, thank you, thank you! There is no question we will return when it is time for our next new car purchase. More
VanBortel is the absolute best Theresa All took my order over the phone and the next day sent me an email with the trade-in and total price. When I picked up my 2016 Outback a few Theresa All took my order over the phone and the next day sent me an email with the trade-in and total price. When I picked up my 2016 Outback a few months later, I was charged exactly that price. Keven took care of all the paperwork and even called the insurance company while I was there picking it up. I spent a total of one hour at Van Bortel. They are the only place to get a great new car. My old one that was a 2007 Outback never had a repair or break down and it had almost 150,000 miles. More
Third time the charm With aging vehicles, the time had come to go through the dreaded "look for a new car" ordeal. On previous searches we had stopped at Van Bortel, but With aging vehicles, the time had come to go through the dreaded "look for a new car" ordeal. On previous searches we had stopped at Van Bortel, but found the Subie interiors uncomfortable. After a winter of research about AWD and too much snow, we stopped in again. We were fortunate to meet Jim Bertino, who seemed to intuitively understand what we were looking for. After a test drive in a Forester, we were disappointed again. Before we had time to turn around, Jim had an Outback ready to go. Much better! Like many, we were going to have to wait though. Prior to ordering, we reviewed our needs with Jim. His knowledge of the options, especially EyeSight plus willingness to show them on actual vehicles was helpful. There have been massive changes in cars in the last 12 years and we needed to be updated. The informative Subaru lit helped too. We got so excited we double ordered some accessories! We appreciated being able to take advantage of a cooperative credit Van Bortel offered. Ben W checked out our trade. When the car arrived, Kevin Hunt clarified how the credits we had coming could be used to our advantage. He worked smoothly with our credit union and insurance agency. The people and management polices at Van Bortel Subaru are a refreshing change from most other dealers from our POV. Our positive buying experience meant we were not frustrated and cynical about the process when the car arrived. We were ready to enjoy our new Outback! More

I just bought my first Subaru and found the experience with Van Bortel and especially with Theresa All to be excellent. There was no high pressure. Theresa was very knowledgeable about the vehicles, the new safety features and the pricing. All of the paperwork was taken care of and the delivery was quick and efficient - no sitting in the dealership for hours which has been my previous experience. I would recommend Van Bortel and Theresa All to my friends. More

He never once pressured me into anything, and we worked through the entire process on my schedule. He found me exactly what I was looking for and gave me what I asked on my trade. Everyone I dealt with was a pleasure to work with and I am 100% satisfied with my decision to use Van Bortel. I now understand why my friends and family speak so highly of that team.

An exemplary dealership. We just bought our third car from Van Bortel. What we appreciate the most is the total absence of the traditional car dealer flim-flam. A fair price We just bought our third car from Van Bortel. What we appreciate the most is the total absence of the traditional car dealer flim-flam. A fair price was offered and a generous trade-in allowance was given for our old car. All staff were cordial and very professional. The communication was excellent throughout, with no pressure or back-room dealings. Van Bortel exemplifies the kind of dealership that makes buying a car a pleasure. More
Buying a 2016 Subaru Outback 3.6 at Van. Bortel's Vince Bovenzi was my salesperson and he was truly professional and through. We also worked with our finance man, Kevin Hunt who was thorough and accur Vince Bovenzi was my salesperson and he was truly professional and through. We also worked with our finance man, Kevin Hunt who was thorough and accurate. I got an excellent dollar for my wife's 11 year old Audi S4. The Audi had been my car since new but I bought my son's used Infiniti a 2011 G37XS turning over the Audi to my wife. After driving it for two years, she decided she preferred her previous car, a 2006 Outback turbo. She found she missed the storage capacity of her previous Outback as well as its automatic transmission. Vince worked with us starting on a Sunday. He actually gave us a trade-in value from several photos I mailed him as well as an accurate verbal description. We were patient waiting for the new Outback. We ordered a 2015 model in June but received a 2016 in early Sept at no extra cost! My wife loves the car and seems reluctant to allow me to drive it! Kudos to the staff at Van Bortel Subaru. Best dealer experience I ever had. More
