Despite hearing mixed reviews, I bought a pre-owned vehicle from Dan O’Brien Subaru which they are supposed to inspect prior to purchase a few weeks ago and had a good experience with the salesman and vehicle from Dan O’Brien Subaru which they are supposed to inspect prior to purchase a few weeks ago and had a good experience with the salesman and all staff on the day of purchase. They gave me a decent deal for what I was willing to spend, and staff outside of sales were friendly too. However, upon picking my car up I was handed one key for a one year old car(2019) that I spent nearly 25K on. This seemed odd and was never mentioned upon my purchase of the car so I asked the salesman if they’d throw in another key. He said they couldn’t. I then asked the sales manger the same question, and he said they couldn’t because the previous owner hadn’t turned the second one in, but they would call me in a week or two when someone visited who they get keys from and I could buy one. I was frustrated they didn’t tell me this in the initial deal, but decided this was my best option and rolled with it. However, after driving my car the first day after purchase I went on the interstate toward Boston. The car started shaking like crazy over 60mph and I had to drive all the way to Boston under 60. I was pissed, but called and scheduled an appointment to have it fixed, and got it in the next day free of cost(to be expected with problems day 1). It ended up being mud and dirt in the wheel well and the staff of the shop apologized profusely and washed it. But here’s my question: if the car was inspected how does a massive clump of mud and dirt that dangerously shakes the car get missed in the inspection of a vehicle?? No 1 year old car should ever shake like that, period. Shouldn’t that have been seen before selling the car and even if it happened on a previous test drive wouldn’t they look over the vehicle again? I was furious, but let it go considering it was fixed for free and the repair shop was friendly and apologetic. However, two weeks later I remembered my second key....which I never got a call about. I then called the GM who didn’t say much about the mud and dirt when I told him, but was friendly and said he would call me the next day regarding a second key. Guess what? No call. Very frustrated now and wish I had gone elsewhere where I could’ve gotten a similar car and deal without the hassle rather than settling for the convenience of my hometown dealership. If all you want is a decent deal that’s done once you put pen to paper, buy from Dan O’Brien. If you want a dealership that tells you everything you should know about a car before purchase and follows through after the deal is done, find somewhere else. Update June 10, 2020 Today I went to fill my windshield wiper fluid and noticed the reservoir for my engine coolant was almost entirely empty. I don't know how that's possible if they did a 100+ point check for a certified pre-owned vehicle. Brought it in this morning and they filled it for free. Craig was respectful per usual and got me straight into the garage. However, to run into this only one month after having my car shake on the highway from massive clumps of mud and dirt that also should have been seen in a check of a certified vehicle makes me doubt how well these cars are looked over. I also mentioned how I never got a call from Pete about a second key and was told they haven't had the people visit who make keys in a while(Pete told me two weeks ago he'd call me the next day regardless of if he had one for an update)...I've noticed many reviews about Pete not following up with people. Overall, I think the staff are still plenty friendly, but I wouldn't buy here again considering the things either missed or not checked on the vehicle before purchase and the lack of follow up about little things that matter. Update July 27: Dan O’Brien is realigning my tires fit to it being out of alignment from the mud and dirt. They are also giving me a second key. I’m glad they’ve fixed these problems. However, all of the follow up was initiated by me and nobody ever once called me to apologize or follow up after any of my problems. Still wouldn’t recommend this dealership but content with what they’ve eventually done for follow up 2 months later. More

Horrible experiences. Very disrespectful staff. They sell broken cars that don't last a full year. They are taking advantage of people. The head manager tells you he'll handle the problem then never calls ba broken cars that don't last a full year. They are taking advantage of people.

Worst dealership ever!!!! If I could give them a zero, I would. They are crooks. I don't know how they can still be in business. I am a young girl and they completely tried taking advantage of me. It all ru would. They are crooks. I don't know how they can still be in business. I am a young girl and they completely tried taking advantage of me. It all runs down from their general manager, Peter Blaisdalle. I could literally hear them talking about me when they were trying to be discreet. I am warning you, don't even go to this place. I am actually filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and contacting consumer protection agencies. They made me feel completely belittled. I have lived in Claremont my whole life and heard many terrible rumors about this place, but didn't think it would be that bad. Well.....let me tell you, they are worse than anything I had heard. I even had to change my name for the purpose of this review, because I know many people who work there and I am terrified of being harassed. They should certainly consider firing a majority of their staff and hire people with better ethics. I don't understand how this place is still in business. I wonder if the owner knows what kind of reputation his/her dealership has. I'm sure with the right people it could be a better place. More

Surreal experience 40 days later and I cant register my new Subaru. No help, from dealership! Friendly until they get your money. After that you're on your own. No regis 40 days later and I cant register my new Subaru. No help, from dealership! Friendly until they get your money. After that you're on your own. No registration equals a car you must pay for and won't be able to drive. I won't ever do business with any Subaru dealership anymore because of Dan O Brien Subaru More
