Farrish Subaru

First off, let me just say, Chris Wolf is - by far - the BEST car salesman I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with! Through out the entire process he was respectful, knowledgable and patient (a BEST car salesman I have ever had the pleasure of doing business with! Through out the entire process he was respectful, knowledgable and patient (and trust me, I can be a pain in the butt when looking at cars). Not to mention, a great host. Chris knows just about everything there is to know about all the cars in Farrish's inventory, and if he doesn't know, he will quickly get you the answer. The best part about my recent experience was having the pleasure of meeting with Chris. He is a no BS kind of guy and will work with you any way he can to get you the best deal possible. Secondly, being in the military - we don't always get the respect and decency that we deserve - but from the time I walked through the door until the time I drove away with my brand new limited edition WRX, everyone in the dealership was kind, generous and willing to bend over backwards to make accommodations for me and my family. They also went above and beyond to make sure that I got a good deal. Lastly, I'd like to give a shout out to Sam (Chris's Manager) - if ever there is a Sales Manager you want to work with, it's him. He too was knowledgable and extremely helpful through the whole process. And better yet, he did SO much extra for me just to say thank you for my service. From the bottom of my heart, I sincerely appreciate everything Farrish - and specifically Chris and Sam - did for me and my family. If nothing else, they have earned a customer for life and if I ever have friends/family members looking for a vehicle, I will send them their way. I can't say enough good things about this dealership and I hope this review will convince some people to do business with these gentlemen because it would be a great decision! More

I bought a car from Rick Elinski at Farrish Subaru earlier this year and am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase. Rick was very helpful throughout the entire process and was very open about all the pr earlier this year and am EXTREMELY satisfied with my purchase. Rick was very helpful throughout the entire process and was very open about all the pros/cons of the car (I may have made it difficult for him at times as this was my first car and I probably asked every question imaginable). I can also recall Rick getting back to me well after he was off work, making sure my questions were answered timely and accurately. This was an online purchase so I was not able to physically see the car or test drive it before buying; I had to rely solely on the pictures, CarFax and my trust in Rick. Five months later, I have had zero problems with it and continue to receive compliments about the great deal I got. I highly recommend buying from Farrish - specifically Rick Elinski. More

This was my first purchase with Subaru and so far I am very satisfied with my vehicle. I had a great sales consultant, Rick Elinski. He was very friendly, open and honest. I am normally suspicious of s very satisfied with my vehicle. I had a great sales consultant, Rick Elinski. He was very friendly, open and honest. I am normally suspicious of sales reps and have had a few bad experiences in the past but Rick was wonderful and very informative. He had a lot of knowledge of the ins/outs of the subaru vehicle and comparisons with other vehicle, on top of it all I walked away with a great price. I would definitely recommend Rick and Farrish Subaru to other friends/family. More

While I purchased my 2009 Forester at Farrish and have used it exclusively for maintaining the SUV, I am now going to try another dealership. Hopefully I will find one that is better than this one. I ne used it exclusively for maintaining the SUV, I am now going to try another dealership. Hopefully I will find one that is better than this one. I never feel satisfied with any explanations they offer when i have a question. I brought my 2009 Forester in for a recall for the puddle lights and the next thing I knew they were inspecting the entire car. While the puddle lights were not repaired because they did not have the parts to repair them, they "found" half a dozen other things to fix. They claimed that no record of transmission fluid and differential fluid was addressed on the 30K service. I examined my invoice for the 30K service and I see Transmission Fluid Drain & Refill w/MOC 01031 Conditioner along with inspect front & rear differential. Down in the Parts section I see a quantity of 2 of Diffrent and a quantity of 3 of 75/90 Syn ... totaling over $130 for those parts alone. When I called the service manager Jim Rives, he looked at the price of the labor of $317 and said they did not do these fluid services. So basically you have to guess what has been done to the car because what is listed may not have actually been performed. I wonder why I had to pay for the fluids if this service was not performed ... were they topping off the fluids? I doubt it. Last year they told me my battery failed the load test. I declined to have the battery replaced and brought the SUV in for next scheduled service and their vehicle checkup sheet showed the battery marked as green. I have doubts that they even do most of these checks. I wrote Mark Johnson about my problems with this visit and never got a response. Here is what I wrote to Mark Johnson along with questions on why the recommended Subaru Services the post on their webpage does not match what they present you at the counter: "The vehicle checkup printout show the items checked and all are in the green. Earlier this summer they told me that my battery failed the battery test and the power steering fluid was "dirty" and need to be replaced, I did not have either of the two services performed and now the vehicle checkup shows them to "checked and ok". Does this mean that they are now OK?" When I asked Jim Rives about this discrepancy , he told me that not everyone that works on the car is that knowledgeable and may have made a mistake. I am curious to see, at the next dealership, when I bring the car in for scheduled maintenance will the have a "basic package" and a "value package" or will they have the recommended Subaru services. They post the Subaru recommended maintenance but at least at this dealership when you get the counter they give you something else, and even then, you can not be sure they actually perform the work.

I have been looking for a particular vehicle for some time. Since it was a highly sought out vehicle, it was difficult for me to find a dealer who had one in stock. Lucky for me, Farrish Subaru had one a time. Since it was a highly sought out vehicle, it was difficult for me to find a dealer who had one in stock. Lucky for me, Farrish Subaru had one and I was lucky to deal with Rick Elinski. He helped me from the very first phone call to schedule an appointment down to helping me out anyway he can to get me financed. I had credit problems so it was no easy task, but I couldn't be more satisfied with the end result. Customer service is superb, I work until 6pm and it took an hour to drive up to Fairfax so on two separate occasions I was there until 10pm even though they close at 9pm. Outstanding professional service is why I will buy my next Subaru at Farrish Subaru, you should too. More

We had a wonderful experience at Farrish Subaru. We will definitely recommend this dealership to our friends and family. We met with James the first day at Farrish. He was very insightful, and answered definitely recommend this dealership to our friends and family. We met with James the first day at Farrish. He was very insightful, and answered all our questions. We didn't feel rushed to make any purchase, and decided to schedule another meeting with James in a few days. The weekend finally came, and we were anxious to get back to Subaru. We were so surprised to receive a call that morning from James. He wasn't feeling well, and called to let us know he wouldn't be in that day - but that someone else would definitely help us out. It was really great that he called us, that phone call made us feel important. We really appreciated his efforts. That same day we were so happy to meet with Jackie. He was very informative, let us know all of our options, was very detailed, so patient (we were there for over 6 hours), and made us feel comfortable. My husband and I brought along my brother and sister in law. We all liked Jackie so much, that my brother and sister in law are both planning to return to Farrish to meet specifically with him. They each want a separate Subaru. We were extremely satisfied with Jackie and his great service. This is the first time I've purchased a brand new car, and it was a wonderful experience working with Farrish Subaru. More
