In February 2013, a Sunday morning about 7:30 am, my husband and I decided to go to the Subaru lot and just look around at Legacy's and hoping that there would be NO sales people there. Low and behold husband and I decided to go to the Subaru lot and just look around at Legacy's and hoping that there would be NO sales people there. Low and behold someone was coming to work early (what are the odds) and was walking toward us. This was our first encounter with Calin Varga. We told him we were just looking at Legacy's but we were NOT ready to make a purchase. That's NO problem he said. Any questions about the car.. of course we did have a couple questions. Calin has a vast knowledge of the Subaru cars. He suggested that we go on a test drive to get a feel for the car. Again, we told him we were NOT ready to purchase. That's NO problem he said. So, of course, we went on a test drive. When we got back to the lot Calin gave us his business card and said when you are ready to purchase let me know. HOW REFRESHING... were we dreaming, we were not pressured at all to buy a car. Fast forward to August 2013, we were ready to purchase a Legacy. So, off to Subaru we go and asked for Calin. We told him what we wanted as far as color and options in the Legacy. In checking the inventory, of course, he found a Legacy in the back lot with our "wants" that had arrived the day before... only 6 miles on the car. Once again, he said I want you to be happy, so lets take the car for a test drive and make sure this is the car you are looking for... so, we did... and YES it was what we were looking for in a car. BUT one more thing,.. Calin said, I cannot give you a dirty car, give me 15minutes. He went our and hand washed the car before giving us the keys. That's what I call going above and beyond ! Thank you Calin for making the entire process enjoyable from start to finish. You are a top-notch salesman that cares about the customer. More

My salesman is Jesse Watkins of Lithia Reno. Jesse is very easy to work with and there was no pressure at all. Jesse gave me a price via the internet. I know that the price he gave me was a good one sinc very easy to work with and there was no pressure at all. Jesse gave me a price via the internet. I know that the price he gave me was a good one since I have been researching this vehicle for a while. I accepted his price without haggling. I went to the dealership to seal the deal. After we concluded, I told Jesse that this is the most pleasurable car buying experience I ever had. Everything went smoothly. I feel that Jesse went out of his way to make an excellent new car delivery. I am glad he was our salesman. More

Purchasing the car was a good experience and the quality of the car is good. In the past year, however, dealing with the Service department has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. They do not re of the car is good. In the past year, however, dealing with the Service department has been extremely frustrating and disappointing. They do not return phone calls. They do not top off fluids when they should. I have picked my car up with the hood not securely closed and it noticed it on the freeway when the safety latch almost released the hood. Most recently, when I picked my car up from service, it made more noise than when I dropped it off. If I didn't have a service contract with this dealership for this car, I would definitely not ever take my car there for service again. More

Concerns with the Costco Auto Buy Program and this Dealership!! If you use Lithia Reno Subaru for the Costco Auto Buy Program, make sure they show you the Costco Members Only Price Sheet. Paul did not Dealership!! If you use Lithia Reno Subaru for the Costco Auto Buy Program, make sure they show you the Costco Members Only Price Sheet. Paul did not show us the sheet and misled us about the Costco price. He said the negotiated price was $500 higher than it actually was. He then said because they were really wanting to sell me the car he would give me an additional $500 off (which I found out later brought it to the negotiated price we were supposed to get with Costco anyway). At best this is misleading, at worst it is lying. When we were later negotiating for trade-in values, he said that because they are already losing money by "being nice" and giving us the extra $500 off, that they couldn't do any more for the trade-in. Paul was using leverage on a discount we were supposed to get in the first place, which again is misleading (or lying). Only after going home and contacting Costco was I able to discover all this. Big tip - get the Costco Members Only Price Sheet first!!!! Also while we were there, my husband was confronted by Calin. Calin was giving my husband a hard time as to why we didn't do our business through him. He implied clients were being stolen and he was bit aggressive about it. Our dealings with Calin was weeks before when we went in and said we ONLY wanted to test drive, which we did but of course he tried to sell to us then. When you sign up through the Costco program - a sales person is assigned to you - we didn't pick Paul he called us. For Calin to take out his frustrations with my husband was beyond unprofessional. Jesse was great on getting us through all the paperwork, financing, and showing all the features of the new car. Jesse was and has been very helpful in getting to the bottom of the inconsistencies we discovered after buying the car through the Costco program. In the end, we got the car we wanted for the price we were supposed to but I'm not sure we'll use Lithia Reno Subaru again. The unprofessional behavior and the misleading (or lying) we experienced certainly has made us not trust the dealership. More

Purchasing a new car should be fun and exciting. Upon contacting numerous dealerships, it became clear to me that they were not all the same. I made phone calls, sent emails and stopped to visit many in contacting numerous dealerships, it became clear to me that they were not all the same. I made phone calls, sent emails and stopped to visit many in California and Nevada. They all were verrrrry eager to sell me the car, not so thrilled with my questions, and the time I required in feeling satisfied with my purchase. That is until I went to Reno Subaru and met Rob Canadian. He made buying our beautiful new outback a great experience. Rob is a professional who made us feel like we were his only customer. His expertise and patience were most appreciated. Within a short amount of time, he established respectful rapport and did make the car buying journey fun. It was an absolute pleasure to work with him and we felt well cared for. Most importantly, we trusted him and we got the car we wanted at a fair price.I highly recommend others to consider making this dealership their first choice when making a car purchase. See Rob when you get there! Jill Vanko and family. More
