Th Upon walking into Competition Subaru, I was greeted warmly and treated kindly. I was referred to them by a friend who had a fantastic experience. There was an office celebration going on for a charity that the company donates to and every passing employee offered us food and invited us to join in as we waited on paperwork. The process itself was quick and practically seamless considering I wanted to drive my car off the lot that day. Jeff was very honest, up-front, not pushy and personable - the complete opposite of the cliche car salesman. Even after I had signed and everything was paid for, Jeff took the time to take me through all of the features of my new Forester. The experience exceeded my expectations and I will continue to refer friends to them in the future. More

I have had no problems with the process at all Cathy is the BEST, hands down. My 2nd car from her and the dealership and smooth as a baby's bottom. I have had no problems with the process at all.

She was the best sales person that I have ever dealt with. She was extremely knowledgeable of my vehicle. She explained every little detail of this vehicle and made sure we understood it before we left. She even took a ride with us to make sure we understood what she said. She even said that we could stop by anytime if we needed more information. At competition we were not pressured to buy any extras that we did not express an interest in. I would rate this dealership excellent in every aspect. More

I was We just bought our first Subaru. The experience at Competition was great. They were not pushy and were always available to answer questions. I was working with them and 5 other dealerships via email and calls and no one came close to the service or price they offered. We went multiple times to test drive and were really torn between the outback and the forester. They were patient and answered every question we had about payments, additional options, and packages. With past purchases I always felt that once you step in they try everything to not let you leave till you buy something. That’s why I do so much email and phone calling but at Completion we felt free to leave at anytime.. and we did…many times because we were not sure which car and package we wanted. It took two weeks before we finally decided on the Forester and we love it. Had three snow storms since we bought it and it’s unbelievable in the snow (just like everyone said it would be). Our sales person was Dan Mcavoy and he was great. Really worked with us to get exactly what we wanted. Lisa Sessa helped finalize everything with no pressure. Would recommend them to anyone. More
Great Experience. I purchased a new Subaru Outback this weekend from Competition Subaru, our Sales Person was Jeff Barkan. He's knowledgeable, experienced, he knows his I purchased a new Subaru Outback this weekend from Competition Subaru, our Sales Person was Jeff Barkan. He's knowledgeable, experienced, he knows his product, he's easy to work with, and he's very professional. When I make a major purchase such as a car, I do a ton of background research before I walk into the dealership, and I consider myself to be prepared, especially when it comes to getting a fair price. Jeff went over available trim styles and options, answered all our questions and provided information about the car that we needed to know. Perhaps most importantly, when it came to the final price, he gave us a number that he invited us to take anywhere to compare with other dealerships and he assured us his price would withstand any other challenges. After getting his price, in writing, and subsequently calling no less than 4 other area dealers and "building" my own car and comparing prices on websites including Edmunds, TruCar, KBB, and Thecarconnection, I was very pleased to find out that I got a great price from Jeff. There was no need to negotiate or haggle- he gave me a great price from the very start, and he knew it. There was never any pressure to close the deal. After the sale, Jeff readily made a few changes the day after I purchased the car because I decided to add a few features. Jeff, thanks for a great car buying experience. - Steve More
