First car buying experience great success! I purchased my first new car ever from Howard and had a great experience. I was hesitant to embark on this process at first because of all the stereot I purchased my first new car ever from Howard and had a great experience. I was hesitant to embark on this process at first because of all the stereotypes about car buying and car salespeople that you hear. But Howard was the complete opposite of all that and put us at ease immediately. No tricks or gimmicks were used, just straight forward, honest conversations. Howard helped us find a great Subaru Impreza with all the features we cared about and even some we didn't think we wanted, but are extremely happy with (like the heated leather seats and bluetooth) ! He and Marty walked us through the financing process in a way that was upfront and honest. They answered all our questions and hypothetical scenarios and never pushed us out of our budget that we stated upfront. Also would like to recognize MaryAnn Kolb who took time to greet us as we were picking up the car. She was extremely friendly and thanked us personally for choosing their dealership. She also had some amazing advice for us about an upcoming visit to Colorado which was great. It showed that this dealership really cares about its customers first as people rather than just dollar signs. Overall, everyone we interacted with made car buying an easy, hassle-free experience that left us with an affordable monthly payment and a fantastic, super safe car! More

Smooth transaction Howard Bonfield (and Marty Shuvall too) made the purchase process extremely smooth. "No haggle" pricing means that they probably charge a bit more fo Howard Bonfield (and Marty Shuvall too) made the purchase process extremely smooth. "No haggle" pricing means that they probably charge a bit more for a car than you might be able to negotiate elsewhere. (And, they certainly will haggle over the value of a trade-in, meaning the trade-in buyer should be prepared to negotiate a low-ball trade offer! Older model trade-in offers are driven largely, if not entirely, by Galves auction values.) Other than price, this was a 5-star process, even for someone like me who is not a NY resident. Howard took care of every detail, including coordinating with my insurer to get my insurance updated, and Marty couldn't have been easier to work with on the finance side. I was very happy with their service and attention to detail. More
Very Easy Process I went in to BK Subaru in 2008 to lease a Subaru Outback, when the lease ran out I converted the lease to purchase. Recently my Outback died and I ne I went in to BK Subaru in 2008 to lease a Subaru Outback, when the lease ran out I converted the lease to purchase. Recently my Outback died and I need a new ride. After going to several other Subaru dealers I went to BK to look at their lot. Upon looking through the lot Howard approached me to see if I needed any help. I settled on a 2011 Impreza 5-door to take a test drive. Howard was very accommodating and made the process very easy from start to finish. More

Great people, great car, great experience! I initially did some hw before going to BK Cars and knew exactly which model and make I wanted. I just wanted to deal with someone who would make me f I initially did some hw before going to BK Cars and knew exactly which model and make I wanted. I just wanted to deal with someone who would make me feel comfortable and Howard was the man! I did my research thru this website and he immediately caught my eye. I gave him a call and left him a msg and he called me back within mins. On the way to the dealer, there was enormous traffic and he said not to worry which was very professional of him. Howard made me feel comfortable and relaxed as we did the test drive and all the other goodies for buying a preowned vehicle. The price was a little bit high for me but in the end, I decided to purchase my legacy. Marty the financial manager was also very helpful in getting me good enough rates for me to purchase the car. Remember to do your research and all should be good with Howard! More
customer service at its best From the moment I walked through the door until the moment I pulled off the lot with my 2014 Subaru, my experience was like no other. My salesman, How From the moment I walked through the door until the moment I pulled off the lot with my 2014 Subaru, my experience was like no other. My salesman, Howard Bonfield, deserves accolades for his infectious, informative, honest, funny, and friendly personality! Not to mention the fact that he makes a great cup of coffee, just the way I liked!!:) My armour was down and I did not feel like a little bunny in a forest filled with hungry wolves. The staff was patient, even despite the fact that I arrived close to closing hour and kept them there far beyond closing. I felt at ease and all of my questions were adequately answered. Thank You Howard and the entire staff for making my car buying experience so pleasurable!!! I would recommend you over and over again. Best Regards, Trameeka MacDonald. More
Friendly, efficient, no-hassle I usually feel ripped off after buying a used car, but I really had a great experience here. Howard didn't push beyond my price range and in fact got I usually feel ripped off after buying a used car, but I really had a great experience here. Howard didn't push beyond my price range and in fact got me a great deal for less than than I had expected to pay despite the fact that he knew I could have gone a bit higher. There was no price haggling but they gave me a really great deal on my trade-in. Much higher than anyone else offered. Did a lot of price comparing online and they were far and away the best. If I had one gripe it would be that the car hadn't been cleaned very well and I had to go over it again when I got home, but that's a relatively minor complaint. Would definitely recommend. More

Subaru Impreza, take command of the vehicle The experience working with Howard was superb. His level of professionalism, humor and detailed knowledge of the Subaru brand secured our purchasing The experience working with Howard was superb. His level of professionalism, humor and detailed knowledge of the Subaru brand secured our purchasing decision with Bill Kolb. The fleet of Subaru models either new, certified pre-owned or used are impressive; so you have an ability to compare year, make, model, etc. on the spot. The vehicle purchased was the 2012 Subaru Impreza Premium; low mileage, features and proven road performance and safety. No haggle truly is no haggle, but from our initial walk-in, test drive, trade-in and appreciation for the pricing model at bkcars.com, it was a success! In the next few months, we plan to return to Bill Kolb and lease another Subaru Impreza GT. If Subaru draws your interest, Bill Kolb carries competitive pricing, and certainly is the place to close the deal. Again, I would highly recommend working with the group at bkcars.com. When test driving cars with Howard, "Always be ready to take command of the vehicle." Chris and Lauren C. More
