I bought my 2024 Subaru Impreza in July and recently hit - Marcus V

I bought my 2024 Subaru Impreza in July and recently hit 6K miles, prompting me to seek my first oil change, tire rotation, and a safety recall fix. After checking with various local Subaru dealerships, including Goldstein, Mackey, North Country, and finally Capitaland, I chose Capitaland due to a friendly and competitive service from Barry. I scheduled, dropped off the car, promised a 1.5-hour service and received a prompt call for pickup. Upon returning, I found the car ready but was disappointed to discover grease/oil stains on the driver's seat, oil/grease/dirt and scuff marks on the door sill, oil/grease/dirt on my new Weather Tech floor liner, and fingerprints on the windshield where the service reminder sticker was placed. Despite always keeping my car well-maintained, I had to address these issues with Darrel and Tony from the service desk. Although the problems were promptly resolved and I received an apology, the experience left me disappointed and frustrated. Vehicles are very expensive and when we place them into the hands of a dealership, a certain level of trust is granted. We customers expect that our investment will be respected and cared for with the utmost attention to detail. To add insult to injury. This morning, I noted oil/grease residue on the beige headliner of the driver side grab bar area and so I got to spend an hour of fun on my day off, cleaning up the grease. The service department is the heart of a dealership; the brand as a whole. Service is an opportunity for dealerships to highlight their strengths, technical skills/knowledge, attention to detail and respect for the product and their customers. Such experiences do have a negative impact on future purchasing decisions and it's unacceptable for people to spend money and have their vehicle disrespected. - Reusable/Washable Seat covers? - Paper floor liners? - Watch for placement of boots and hands? Is anyone in the service department performing a once over of a customer's vehicle to ensure everything is acceptable before the customer signs paperwork, pays for service and drives off? Overall, this was not a good experience and I'm hopeful this service department can do better in the future. If so, I will update my review to reflect the experience.
