When I entered the service department I was ignored so I walked around until Sierra noticed me and directed me to the right area (very helpful employee). She sent me over to David March. From my first inter walked around until Sierra noticed me and directed me to the right area (very helpful employee). She sent me over to David March. From my first interaction with him he acted as if he was too busy to be bothered. He asked if I had a maintenance plan and when I told him I didn't know if I did (I have a 2024 vehicle so I haven't needed much service yet) and could he look it up to see if I did?? He told me "If you don't know if you have one you probably don't". He then proceeded to discuss me needing to leave my car there even though I had a scheduled appointment (something else he acted surprised about and did not look up). He told me my vehicle would be ready within an hour so I left and planned to come back later that afternoon. After about 2 hours I called to check and was told by the person on the phone "they had no idea if my vehicle was ready and they would have someone return my call". No one did, so after 2.5 hours I headed back to the dealership. When David saw me he mentioned that I had been gone a long time, forgot my name, forgot all about what car I had, and couldn't find my keys. He left for 10 minutes to go look for my vehicle but when he came back did not address me standing at his desk or let me know an update. In fact, he acted like I was bothering him standing there at all. After fumbling around he asked me once again what vehicle I had then proclaimed it must not be ready yet and he could "call me" when it was done. I told him that I was dropped off as it had been well over 2 hours when he told me one hour to be back. A service tech then walked up with my keys and then David told me he couldn't check me out because someone was before me. Meanwhile I had been standing at his desk for over 15 minutes now and no one else was there. After fumbling around again he decided it was indeed my turn to be checked out and he told me the total amount I owed. He never explained what was done to my car or why I was to pay that amount. I was only handed a bill. Then he told me to have a good day, and didn't even let me know where my car was. All of this occurred when THERE WERE NO OTHER PEOPLE WAITING the entire time I was there. At drop off there were also no other people waiting. This was a horrible experience at your service department with someone who acted like he could not be bothered to do his job. This is not what I expected at all as new Subaru owner and certainly not at all the experience I had buying a vehicle at your dealership. I am very disappointed, as this was just a maintenance appointment, not even anything complicated. More

Great experience in service! I was going in to get my windshield glass fixed and got recommended to do the 30,000 mile service instead of waiting a few months! I got an oil chang I was going in to get my windshield glass fixed and got recommended to do the 30,000 mile service instead of waiting a few months!

They kept my ‘16 outback SO FAR 2. 5 MONTHS for a simple diagnostic. Zero return calls in that time, even to corporate office!! I showed up & they had wrecked my car. They “fixed it” n 5 MONTHS for a simple diagnostic. Zero return calls in that time, even to corporate office!! I showed up & they had wrecked my car. They “fixed it” n did awful job so i said redo it. They said needed 1 day, that was 22 days ago, and counting!! Extremelyyy rude & ignore me & corporate. I had to call cops when they hit my car due to their attitudes. Worst shop EVER!!!!! Will never buy another subaru & am selling both of mine asap, if can ever get one back. Go to subie doctors instead in west ash. They are wonderful!!! Cheaper, better mechanics, and they know much more than the dealership mechanics! Several have quit n gone to subie drs. I would too! They took 3 months to get my car back after installing a new transmission n doing a poor job. Other shop said they installed it wrong n i need another transm. Last time it was there, once again w no return calls. Zero excuse for this!!!! They wont even apologize More
I recently attempted to reach out to the service manager regarding my experience at Crews Subaru. I asked my service advisor for a call from the service manager, I reached out by phone, email, and text when regarding my experience at Crews Subaru. I asked my service advisor for a call from the service manager, I reached out by phone, email, and text when I received Daniel Noble's information, but I never got an acknowledgment or a call back... after days of trying to contact him. I wasn't asking for money off my service. I was asking for answers to the questions below, in hopes he could help me understand what happened or what was being done to correct the operational issues that led to my experience this time: 1. What is the process or what occurs once I approve or decline a service using the multipoint inspection/recommendation webpage? 2. After declining the radio replacement, why was a new radio ordered, and why did Nicole have to stop them from installing it? How far did they get with the unapproved installation? Why was Nicole trying to schedule a time for me to bring my car to the shop to have the radio installed when my car was already there? Was my car on property at the time? 3. How was the incorrect catalytic converter ordered? Why did the parts department quote and order the wrong part without the technician or service advisor noticing? 4. It sounds like my original service advisor recently had a baby and is going to be out for several weeks. If he is on FMLA, why is he being required to work when he needs to be taking care of his family? 5. Having a baby is not a surprise. Was there a plan in place to transition his work load to other advisors once his baby was born? If so, why wasn't this service picked up by another advisor? Was Nicole supposed to take over his workload? 6. Why am I reaching out to you instead of the other way around? Were you aware of this situation prior to me reaching out by phone, text, and email? I certainly don't blame my service advisors in this situation. If anything, I'm concerned that the leadership in the service department is so poor that it's leading to lots of other operational/communication issues that ultimately hurts the customer with extended delays and mistakes. Crews used to have such a fabulous reputation, it's why I bought my car there. In other parts of the country, Subaru is the pinnacle of reliability and service excellence. I don't know what happened to this dealership, but their service department is slipping fast. This isn't a sign of a business trying to "do the right thing" or "be your friend in the car business." This is a sign of gimme my money and stop complaining. If it's this bad on the customer side, can you imagine what the front line employees are dealing with every day without adequate support from their leadership? You still have my car, by the way... 3 weeks now, for a catalytic converter replacement and oil change. More
I bought my Forester from Crews and they are the only ones who have worked on it (oil changes and tire rotations). The service team is honest about how long something is going to take (the lobby is very ones who have worked on it (oil changes and tire rotations).
