Ertle Subaru

Just bought my 3rd car from them and they are great.. They stand by what they sell with a hand shake. I had a great experience for the third time now. They stand by what they sell with a hand shake. I had a great experience for the third time now. More

After my '99 Subaru was totaled, I needed to find another Subaru quickly. Ertle had a late model used Legacy for (what I thought was) a good price (at the time), so I traveled to PA to check it out. I was to Subaru quickly. Ertle had a late model used Legacy for (what I thought was) a good price (at the time), so I traveled to PA to check it out. I was told that the car was used by one of the owners over the past year and the price had been dropped recently in an effort to move the car out. Within a few days of purchasing the car the check engine light came on. The code suggested that it could be the gas cap so we tried that first. No, that wasn't it. As my local dealership looked further to diagnose the problem, they found many issues of tampering, most notably a spacer inserted in front of the converter. They were puzzled but thought it was an attempt to thin the emissions entering the catalytic converter, to hide the fact that it needed one. When the weather warmed up and I turned on the air conditioner, I ended up with a swimming pool in my front passenger floor area. Again my local dealership found signs of tampering and parts of the air conditioning assembly were missing or disconnected. Most recently, the check engine light came on again when the car shuttered. This time my local dealership found the car running on 3 cylinders. FINAL NOTE: On the day that I bought the car, there were several other people interested in it. Some had sent emails asking if the car was still available, while others stopped in. Looking back, I feel Ertle Subaru channeled their attention on me buying the car and kept the other interested parties at bay because I lived the farthest away. Hey, the farther away the better to assure the car does not return to bite them. More

Yesterday i went in for a routine oil change and inspection only to find out my 2009 Subaru Legacy failed due to a "crushed" oil pan that was "leaking" and the need for 4 new tires. Previous to my v inspection only to find out my 2009 Subaru Legacy failed due to a "crushed" oil pan that was "leaking" and the need for 4 new tires. Previous to my vist, i had a screw in my tire and had to get it plugged as well as using fix a flat which was holding air in the tire perfectly fine. When i went out to my car after the information about my 4 "failed" tires, i noticed my tire with the plug in it was almost completely flat. I brought my car home and tested the tread of my 4 tires, only to find out they were still in practically brand new condition, and should not have failed under any circumstances. The tire will now not hold air at all, i have to use my spare, and i now have to dish out the money for a new tire that would have held up fine if it had not obviously been tampered with. As for my "leaking" oil pan that i had to see as soon as i got home to see just how "crushed" it was, was not leaking what so ever and it had barely a dent. I will NEVER return to that dealership ever again and i'm considering selling the car just so i never have to deal with them again. More
