Our service representative, Ken Hansom, was ready for me on arrival and counseled me on appropriate service and discounts. While waiting in the comfortable customer area, coffee and doughnuts were available. Additional items identified for service during the planned tasks were explained and I approved them. The total time required was very reasonable. I hope to continue my relationship with this dealer until my Forester gives up the ghost in 15 or 20 years or more. David Frager More

I am always on alert when it comes to mechanics and dealers who aren't too trustworthy, but I never feel those worries here. I take my car for oil changes and every repair needed and I'm always happy. More

Reliable service every time The plastic shield by my front tire on my Legacy wagon had come loose and was hanging down and hitting the ground when I drove. I called Subaru and wa The plastic shield by my front tire on my Legacy wagon had come loose and was hanging down and hitting the ground when I drove. I called Subaru and was told I could come in that same day to get it fixed. When I arrived, Ken Hanscom, a friendly service manager I often deal with there, looked at the car. He told me it would be about an hour before it was repaired. However, I was pleasantly surprised when it was ready after only a half hour. Furthermore, Ken told me there would be no charge! I really appreciated the quick and no-charge service. Before coming to Herb Gordon Subaru I had taken my vehicle to another local Subaru dealer. I always had problems there with appointments and with unfriendly service. I am happier since I changed to Herb Gordon. Always reliable service here! More
Great Service Experience I had been experiencing a recurring problem with my Tribeca and on the second visit was told to correct the problem that was in the transmission would I had been experiencing a recurring problem with my Tribeca and on the second visit was told to correct the problem that was in the transmission would cost me $1900. I had just paid $300 for new transmission fluid. Well the car wouldn't start again 3 later. It in the next morning and Ken Hanscom was on duty thankfully. He determined that my car did not have the miles on it to have this problem most cars would have over 200K miles. And I always service my vehicle with the dealership. He said he would talk to his manager. They both then got on the phone with HQ. Imagine my relief when Ken called and said that Subaru would cover costs because the transmission issue should not happen to a low mileage car! Thank you Ken, you have made me a loyal Subaru customer! More

Excellent service! I am indebted to Ken Hanscom at Herb Gordon Suburu. He has helped me take care of my 2000 Outback for over 10 years. I currently have 150,700 miles I am indebted to Ken Hanscom at Herb Gordon Suburu. He has helped me take care of my 2000 Outback for over 10 years. I currently have 150,700 miles on it. As an example last night I had trouble while I was driving. At 5:15 pm I called and talked to Ken. I told him what was going on (it smelled like something was burning) and he told me to get to my office (which was nearby) and park the car and have it towed to him. He wanted to make sure I was in a safe place. He told me that he did not think it was safe to drive it. I followed his instructions, and my car is repaired and home today. It was a good thing I didn't try to drive it any further. This is not the first time he has been helpful to me over the phone as well as in person. I am extremely grateful to Ken and to Herb Gordon Suburu mechanics for the excellent service I have received over all these years. I plan to buy a Suburu for my next car and hope to have Ken Hanscom be in charge of helping me with service for it as well. Thank you for your help all these years. More
I am writing about my experience with the service department at Herb Gordon Subaru at Briggs Chaney Autopark in Silver Spring. I am a single woman in my 50s. I purchased my new Subaru Forester ther department at Herb Gordon Subaru at Briggs Chaney Autopark in Silver Spring. I am a single woman in my 50s. I purchased my new Subaru Forester there in 2010, and take it in for routine service. I have never felt patronized or uncomfortable in the service department. The facilities are nice (they moved in 2011 or 2012 to their current, new location), clean, well appointed, comfortable. The staff (Mike Senior, Mike Junior ane Ken) are genuinely nice people. It probably helps that this is a good product, so they probably have mostly satisfied customers, but in the hours that I have sat in the service room waiting area over the last three years, I have heard them deal with all kinds of customer situations, and these are good people who treat customers the same way they would want a family member to be treated. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the dealership. More

I was looking at buying a used Subaru from a private seller when I decided to inquire whether or not the Herb Gordon Service Dept could help me out get all the facts first. Ken Hanscom was very pleasant seller when I decided to inquire whether or not the Herb Gordon Service Dept could help me out get all the facts first. Ken Hanscom was very pleasant and amenable to doing an inspection for me. He was quick to inform me after it had been done, and gave me the full run-down of the issues he found. I found it helpful that he took my personal situation into consideration when giving me advice. The inspection itself was very thorough and I appreciated that Ken took the time to personally go over it with me. More
