Fantastic Customer Support Ken Hanscom was very accommodating. I needed to bring in my old Forester due to an airbag recall and Ken ensured I had a replacement car ASAP. When Ken Hanscom was very accommodating. I needed to bring in my old Forester due to an airbag recall and Ken ensured I had a replacement car ASAP. When Enterprise indicated I would have to wait for 2 hours for a replacement, ken was sensitive to the fact that I had a toddler with me and provided a car from the Subaru lot within a few minutes . Fantastic service, especially given the fact that I didn't buy my Subaru from this dealership. I would come back for service and will likely buy my next Subaru from this dealership. Very pleased. Well run place. More
Great service / 12,000-mile check up / Quick! I showed up early on a Wednesday to get a 12,000-mile check up...

I learned that it normally takes 1.5 hours, to which I said I would have to just do the minimal (oil change) due to my time constraints. Vitaliy Khlebnikov was my service consultant and assured me it could be done under an hour. And it was done in 45 minutes! I was able to get everything squared away AND get to work on time. When I think about other places where I've literally left my car for 6-8 hours... and stuff isn't even started, it makes me wonder why I ever even bothered with those organizations. Herb Gordon is fast, quick, good... and nice/chill people. Will definitely keep coming back. More
Saved my sanity and my car Long story short, Herb Gordon Subaru corrected all the problems that Wilkins Subaru caused during an engine rebuild (see my Wilkins review for the ful Long story short, Herb Gordon Subaru corrected all the problems that Wilkins Subaru caused during an engine rebuild (see my Wilkins review for the full story). They found problems that I could feel with my car, no check engine light needed! I told them how it felt and they checked my car for specific problems that might be causing my issues. They found some major problems, caused by Wilkins, corrected them, and now my car is operating as it should be. My service advisor, Bob Thompson, kept me informed with updates on my car, was receptive to my concerns, and very friendly. He was everything you would want in a service advisor. He was on top of my issue and pressed to have my issues resolved and repaired at Herb Gordon, even though they were not to the ones who caused any of them. I had a great experience and would definitely come back again. I only wish I had the techs (Tech 5988 on the work order) name that found all the problems so I could them credit as well. Thank you Bob and all the people at HGS for the wonderful and friendly service! More
Can't get through to make an appointment for service I have received countless emails and mails and phone calls about how I am due for service on my 2015 Subaru. However, I have called the dealership (HE I have received countless emails and mails and phone calls about how I am due for service on my 2015 Subaru. However, I have called the dealership (HERB GORDON SUBARU IN Silver Spring, MD) several times in the last 2 days, selected the service option and not been able to get through to a service desk. Bizarre things have happened - I was asked who my service "advisor" is - never heard of such a thing. Then I was put on hold and answered by someone's voice mail where I left a message with my name and phone number and never heard back. Then the next day I selected service again - was answered by an unidentified entity which immediately turned into loud, jarring music - as I continued to shout "Hello! Hello." Then back to the main line I told the person - please get me a service rep , I've had all these problems when I wait for them to pick up. And she said "well all I can do is put you through to service "so I said. Well - that doesn't work - so put me through to Sales (Option 1.) (My thoughts were that if they wanted to sell me a car a human being might actually pick up the phone.) She agreed, then put me through where I was met not with a person - but more waiting. At which point I hung up. I guess this business doesn't do phones - and I don't see an automated appointment app, so I'll just have to drive there in person. But not before checking out other options for service. Oh - and by the way - their recording says "This call may be monitored for quality." Very funny, don't you think? More

Vitaliy Provided Excellent Service I would like to let the management team know that you have an excellent employee with Vitaliy. His expressed concern and sensitivity to me as a custo I would like to let the management team know that you have an excellent employee with Vitaliy. His expressed concern and sensitivity to me as a customer of Herb Gordon Subaru is very personal to me. He helped with a difficult decision in the repair of my Outback navigaton system which will keep me coming back with both of my Subaru's. His willingness to go an extra mile to help me is deeply appreciated and won't be forgotten. I look forward to using Herb Gordon Subaru for all my needs and especially working with Vitaliy. David H.

Efficiency, Excellence and Respect Since purchasing my car two years ago from (Jim)James Boratenski, I have been thoroughly impressed by the courteous friendly service and attention to Since purchasing my car two years ago from (Jim)James Boratenski, I have been thoroughly impressed by the courteous friendly service and attention to the needs of this customer. I'm a woman in my 60s who has often experienced borderline rudeness, dismissiveness and poor service by car dealerships and mechanics in my past. That is most certainly not the case with the team at Herb Gordon Subaru. From the very beginning when I purchased my car from Jim Boratenski he took the time to find out what I was looking for and then showed me in detail how the new electronics worked. He was lovely and when he's seen me there for service, he's said 'hello.' Over on the service side they are scrupulously clean and organized. They have Wi-Fi, donuts, coffee and shopping bags. Okay, the real reason to be there is for the exemplary service. Most of the time I have worked with Ken Hanscom, the Assistant Service Manager. As I mentioned previously my past experience with car people has been a complete let down. I've quite frankly felt used and taken advantage of. That is not at all the case with the Herb Gordon Subaru team. The service team, but most especially Ken Hanscom, has been respectful, helpful and wonderful with their service. Recently I scheduled the 15,000 mile service, but somehow I missed the allotted time. They called. I was embarrassed for messing up, but they told me to come on down. I got there over an hour late. They took the car anyway and told me that it would take about three hours before they could finished it. I asked if they could drive me home. Because I messed up, they didn't have anyone free to do that. I told them not to worry as it was my fault. I would wait. Fancy my surprise that Ken Hanscom walked up to me about an hour later to tell me that my car was done. I couldn't believe it. My car had been beautifully serviced, washed and appeared vacuumed. I am so grateful that my business is honestly appreciated. I never want to go anywhere else. Thank you Herb Gordon Subaru for a superlative team in an extraordinary facility. More
