I had a wonderful experience working with Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru. I found Jeff to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and above all honest. Jeff answered all my questions patiently and desc Competition Subaru. I found Jeff to be very knowledgeable, easy to talk to, and above all honest. Jeff answered all my questions patiently and described in detail the features of the Forester I was looking to buy. I felt comfortable working with Jeff and never felt pressured into buying a car. Thanks to Jeff, I found the car buying experience very pleasant. Once I had purchased the Forester, Jeff spent a lot of time in an extensive tour explaining the functions and options in my car, and he showed the same patience as he did before the sale. I am now driving my Forester and loving it. Jeff is an asset to Competition Subaru. I would highly recommend Jeff and Competition to my family and friends. More

After more than 55 years (I'll be 75 in Dec. of this year) of purchasing new cars and having to deal with deception, hype, misinformation and outright lies from "Car salesmen", I've finally found a real year) of purchasing new cars and having to deal with deception, hype, misinformation and outright lies from "Car salesmen", I've finally found a real human being! His name is Jeff Barkan. The man is kind, considerate and truly cares about the potential buyers he's sitting across the desk from! He made our new car buying experience a pleasure and I'm sure that down the road, my wife and I, and also family and friends, after I've spread the word, will be buying many more autos from this man! Thanks Jeff, you made what is normally a difficult purchase, a real pleasure!! John and Dee Catalina More
My husband and I were in the market for a larger car for our family. We were considering the Subaru Outback and went to Competition Subaru because it was the closest to our house. Phil Bruno helped us cho our family. We were considering the Subaru Outback and went to Competition Subaru because it was the closest to our house. Phil Bruno helped us choose a beautiful 2014 Outback. He made us feel comfortable throughout the entire experience! We never once felt pressure to negotiate or to buy. He was knowledgable, friendly and available. He even communicated with us by phone during the buying process because we had a vacation scheduled. We wound up with a great car for a great price. Work with Phil at Competition Subaru if you are looking for a stress-free car buying experience. More

My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon after my salesman, Jeff Barkan, and I worked out the options. Mr, Barkan was extremely helpf My new 2014 Outback was delivered last week, very soon after my salesman, Jeff Barkan, and I worked out the options. Mr, Barkan was extremely helpful, friendly, and efficient in leading me to the final order. He phoned me today to make sure I was happy with the new car that I picked up last week. This is not surprising to me, because he was the same way three years ago when I ordered my 2011 Outback. At that time I ordered a color that displeased my wife on delivery day. When we discussed our dislike of the color with Jeff and Vinny, the manager, we were promptly offered another car with the color of our choice without extra cost or penalty, although the original car had been customized. After such personal care in 2010, why would we go elsewhere? We subsequently referred a friend to Jeff Barkan--and he was very pleased as well with his purchase. Other members of the team at Competition Subaru that we have dealt with, David Leonard and Jackie Scurry, also help to provide an experience without stress. We have used the service department exclusively for three years and have been very satisfied at every service visit. More

I was in the market for a late model Subaru Forester. My BMW was totaled in a rain storm, the rental was due back, and I needed to find something quickly.

I own a 2000 Forester which my sons use and its been a reliable car. Jeff Barkan and James Boyton were very helpful, friendly, patient and knowledgeable. I test drove one and was quite happy with it. The deal was consummated quickly, and the car was spotlessly delivered in July 2013. I need a servicing and I'm hoping Competition will live up to its great reputation and take care of it. More
