Poor Job on the Oil Change This dealership did my oils change and they did not put the plug back on correctly on my 15 month old 2015 Subaru Forester and the engine blew up. This dealership did my oils change and they did not put the plug back on correctly on my 15 month old 2015 Subaru Forester and the engine blew up. I know nothing about cars. I was driving on the highway going approximately 65 mph when the car engine choked a bit and plumes of black smoke came out of the back of the car. My 5 and 3 year old were in the vehicle. I panicked because I thought the car was on fire. This was a frightening situation. I didn't know what was wrong. When the tow truck driver came and lifted the car, I asked him to check under the car. Within 20 seconds he said, "your oil plug is gone". I wiggled my way under the car and took pictures. Oil plug was gone, the entire bottom of the car was covered in oil including the back of the car. Instead of taking apart the engine to see what damages were done, they hooked the car up to a machine and tested the engine pressure (PSI) at different RPMs. Dealing with Chris Maloney is also another story. He and my service agent Jennifer kept saying "let us help you". Do not tell an angry customer that when you messed up. You are not helping me! You are responsible for fixing the damage you guys caused! And when I brought my ruined car in, Chris told me "if we find that we did something wrong, if we find that the engine needs to be replaced, if, if, if"!! Nice way of trying to cover you xxx. But honestly, the fault was with the service and I probably would have reacted different if some sort of apologies and good faith words were provided to acknowledge the error and make me feel as though that you will be covering me for your mistake. In addition, telling me that the person who preformed my oil change was terminated doesn't make me happy. It isn't justification for me. He relied on that income. Maybe he had a family? And if he did have performance issues, why wasn't anyone checking his work? What are your procedures so that these types of simple mistakes do not happen? Also, when I got my loaner, it was mentioned to me to bring back the loaner with a full tank a gas... Until I gave her the "look".. Like really? Mess up my oil change and tell me that I have to fill up the loaner car tank. Excellent customer service. What was offered. The service department offered an extended 100k warranty which I already had on my vehicle when I purchased the car. I already have the extended warranty. So, what now?! I refuse to drive my kids in a car with a messed up engine. Who knows what the extent of the damage is when you just test PSI? I called a few mechanics and they also said that the engine needs to be taken apart to assess the damage. Most likely engine does need to be replaced. Still haven't received an apology. Do not take your car here to get services. I looked up the ratings and it's low. A huge change needs to be made for both mechanical and customer service. Bunch of clowns are working on the car. They don't care. And will it do what is right by the victim. In addition, they have insurance to cover these mistakes. But it's the consumer that gets dinged. I have spoken to a couple lawyers and I would most likely win in arbitration. If you made it this far, you deserve a cookie. If you do decide to take your car here, beware. This probably will not happen again, maybe it will, but this is how I felt about the ordeal. Just a huge menace and a headache! I want a service dealership that cares about their customers and experience. More
Go only for Sales! My car buying situation was a little different. I wasn't in the market for a new car because the Service department at this dealership did not place t My car buying situation was a little different. I wasn't in the market for a new car because the Service department at this dealership did not place the oil plug back in and the car's engine blew up as I drove down the highway with my 2 small children. I believed the car was on fire from all the smoke. The service department did not really do much to replace the engine and offered me an extended power train warranty which I already had on the vehicle. I refused to drive away with a car that had a blown engine. So, who came to clean up the mess? Sales. Honestly, trading in and negotiating is always a pain in the xxx. But in the end, I ended up with a 2017 forester for trading in my 2015. I lost $3,000 which totals to $200 a month for 15 months. May Farris was the sales consultant and Shawn was the sales manager. I liked May. She was empathetic to my issue and so was Shawn. I wasn't easy to deal with because I was so angry to how I was treated and because of what happened to my car. Also, Kirk Patel completed my finance paperwork and my tags. I am sure that they are glad it's over. Because I am. I am giving the sales experience a 5 -- I would not say 5 because I shut down completely negotiating the offer. But I wouldn't have been in this situation of the service department didn't mess up my oil change. :/ More
Overall a good experience. May Farris helped me choose the right vehicle, took me out on 2-3 test drives, answered my questions, and negotiated a fair price. She was pleasant, a May Farris helped me choose the right vehicle, took me out on 2-3 test drives, answered my questions, and negotiated a fair price. She was pleasant, attentive, knowledgeable, patient and low key. My wife commented to me that she liked that Ms. Farris wasn't pushy or aggressive. The manager greeted and thanked us, and the financial person efficiently did the paperwork, went over some options, and finalized the sale. All were very professional and helpful. I've enjoyed my new car for about a week now and everything seems to be working fine, but it will take me months to figure out all the bells, whistles, and adjustments. May has invited me back anytime for further help or instructions. I had been a Nissan customer since 1984, but my daughter recommended Subaru. Afterwards, I found out that coincidentally, she had bought her Legacy from May Farris in 2013! I hope that my use of the service department in the future will also be a positive experience. More
2017 outback 2.5i touring I came to the dealership to look at and/or test drive the new 2017 outback 2.5i touring model. I didn't have an appointment; however, Ms. May came up I came to the dealership to look at and/or test drive the new 2017 outback 2.5i touring model. I didn't have an appointment; however, Ms. May came up to my parents and I and helped us out. She was able to the locate one of those outback (in particular the black exterior) that was on the lot. The test drive was awesome. I ended up getting the brilliant brown exterior (which arrived a few days after my initial visit). Even though, I paid a little more than I had planned, but overall I am very satisfied with my purchase. More

I could not have been more pleased. She was extremely knowledgeable, personable and extremely patient. She did not pressure me into a decision and let me take my time while contemplating which car I was going to purchase. The only reason I purchased from Hetitage Subaru was because of May. I would recommend her to any of my friends or colleagues. Purchasing a car is stressful enough, May made this purchase exciting and relaxing. Thank you so much May!!!! More
Very Good Experience Because we bought several new cars from Stephen Sherman, we went back to Heritage to ask him to help us find a used car. As always, he took the time Because we bought several new cars from Stephen Sherman, we went back to Heritage to ask him to help us find a used car. As always, he took the time to explains all the features on several cars and answered all our questions so we could make the right choice for us. We decided on a Crosstrek. He went above and beyond to find us the right car and in the color we wanted. The day after we took the car home, he followed-up with a phone call to ensure we had no questions concerning the car. The experience of buying a used car was just as great as buying a new car. Thank you Stephen for making our experience another great one. More
Mechanics are incompetent I took my 2015 Subaru in because of a recall.

My car was working just fine but they needed to keep it for the better part of a week because they apparently blew several fuses in the process of replacing an ignition relay and destroyed the BIU. When I picked it up, they hadn't put the car back together completely. They had left parts in the cupholder (there are still 2 screws in there). Now, I have no seat belt alarm for the driver's side and the passenger seat belt light and air bag light remain on. The service manager didn't really seem interested in the poor quality of the service he was providing. All he did was apologize. My advice: don't have your car repaired at this dealership. More

Amazing experience buying my new Subaru Forester limited2017 Hello, my name is Julio Loyola, and I recently bought my new Forester Limited edition 2017, and let me tell you that the sales agent was super proffe Hello, my name is Julio Loyola, and I recently bought my new Forester Limited edition 2017, and let me tell you that the sales agent was super proffesional and was very clear regarding all the details that I required for my forester such as navigation system, leather seats, the color, the internet price, the driving test, and the most important was the financing. He had patience to explain me each detail of the car, and left me know, on time, the financing process. I highly recomend to Mr. Kevin James if you are thinking to buy your new Forester. He can find the best option according to your demands for the BEST PRICE! More
