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

Jeff spent the time and made the effort to locate the car I wanted. The entire process was great. Already received a follow up call making sure all was ok. Jeff is a true professional.

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

Based upon the enthusiastic reviews of this dealership and of Jeff Barkan on DealerRater, I chose to shop for my new car at Competition.

While I had been avoiding the usually annoying task of buying a car, this very professional dealership and Jeff made this a very positive experience. Jeff was most helpful, knowledgeable and patient, exceeding the expectations that had been set by the positive reviews. I was especially impressed that i was able to walk into the dealership on Wednesday and drive the exact car I wanted home on Thursday afternoon. And before I left the dealership, Jeff took over an hour patiently going over all the features of my new car. He even set up my Bluetooth! I am looking forward to,having my car serviced here! More
We were in the market to purchase a new car, based upon research and a few recommendations the Subaru Outback seemed like the perfect fit for our needs. Great gas effieciency and able to handle snowy cond research and a few recommendations the Subaru Outback seemed like the perfect fit for our needs. Great gas effieciency and able to handle snowy conditions. We wanted to shop around for the lowest price and I have to say that from the beginning Jeff Barkan from Competitiion Subaru quoted us a very competitive price. We visited another Subaru dealer and the quote was thousands of dollars higher. Needless to say we went back to Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru and purcased the 2014 Outback. Jeff was a pleasure to work with, extremely pleasant and knowledgable about the specifications and benefits. I have had the Outback for a couple of days now and am thoroughly enjoying driving it. We will definately recommend the Subaru Outback and Jeff Barkan at Competition Subaru. Mirka and Pat Castaldo More
My experience has been great since I walked into the dealership looking to buy a car. Jeff gave me a deal I could accept.

When One of my tires got destroyed during hurricane Sandy they were great in helping me get my car back on the road. I usually wouldn't get my car serviced by the dealer because I feel they rip you off. At competition, however, I have gone back several times and have been extremely satisfied each time. More
