Evanston Subaru is the best dealersh I have been to dealerships in the past that made me feel like I was in the worst part of town within four walls. Evanston Subaru is the best dealership selling the finest cars, which I will most definitely be returning to in the future. They are professional, friendly, courteous and have exceptional customer service with a beautiful facility. The salesmen are not pushy or aggressive. They are easy going and can be fun if you have a good sense of humor. Awesome five stars!!! More

Have bought 3 Subarus from them - all pain less We are on our 3rd Subaru from Evanston, bought a 2001 Outback, 2013 Outback and a 2016 WRX and ever experience we had was a good one. Sales people whe We are on our 3rd Subaru from Evanston, bought a 2001 Outback, 2013 Outback and a 2016 WRX and ever experience we had was a good one. Sales people where nice and not pushy. They did try and up sell some extras but once we made it clear we where not interested they did not push and moved the process forward. Service experience has also been good for us. In all truth this has been the best car dealership I have ever bought from. More

Same thing just just happened to me! Worst experience ever. Called to inquire about a car posted on the internet. Was told it was available. Didn't come right away, so I called again b Worst experience ever. Called to inquire about a car posted on the internet. Was told it was available. Didn't come right away, so I called again before we left the house. Was told it was still available. Omar took our phone number and said he would call if "someone moved on it" Gave him our phone number. But just to be safe I called and left a voicemail for Pepe to say we were coming. So we drove a half an hour to see it. Got there asked for Pepe who we spoke to originally. Waited 10 minutes to be told he was with a customer. OK...... got another salesman. He went off to get the keys......another 15 minutes. He came back and said the car wasn't available. Needless to say we weren't too happy. Then the sales manager yelled out from behind his desk. "Sell the car". So the salesman (think his name was Mark) said OK and we walked to the Service Dept. On the way there he says.."Oh there is a deposit on it" and shrugged his shoulders. WHAT? We asked, "Why are you showing a car that has a deposit on it? " He said don't worry about it....they'll just refund the guy. So we get to the car and there are people in it. Sales guy says Don't worry he's not buying it....they are using the car as a demo so they can compare a Ford's ride to a Subaru"'s. This car is on deposit to someone and they are still showing it and using it as a demo?? He then asked us to wait and see if this customer buys it. Wait..what? Didn't He just said he wasn't buying it? Well we decided to wait. The waiting room was horrible and dirty. 15 minutes later Omar comes back and says the car was sold. We should have gotten here earlier! Mind you we waited almost 25 minutes before we saw the car. Why weren't we told straight off that it wasn't available or that it had a deposit on it? They just wanted to get us in there to sell us something else. Isn't that a classic bait and switch??? Isn't that against the law?? Then......after we drove all the way home....Omar sends a text saying that the car is now available again. Really? We called back and got his voicemail....then we answered the text. No reply on either. That was a Saturday so we waited till Monday.....We called the dealer at 9:00 when it opened......was told the car is still available. Ate breakfast got ready to go out and I called again to make sure....because of what happened before. I asked for Omar, no answer, voicemail, asked for the Sales Manager, no answer, it just rang, no voicemail. Called back, asked for sales, got someone (he didn't offer up his name) he said the car had a deposit on it! When I replied, "Really? we literally just called. He barked out a YES! and hung up on me. Unbelievable! Here we go again. Thank God we didn't leave the house this time!! What a shady dealer! How many times are you going to sell and resell the same car? What about the man who had put down a deposit.....and they sold it out from under him initially? Will never go back there and believe me everyone I know will know what kind of business this is. Wish I had seen these reviews before I wasted a Saturday afternoon trying to buy a car from them. More

Lied to get me in the door.. wasted my time They told me two hours prior that they still had the car I was looking at and I drove two hours from Wisconsin to find out they sold the car three day They told me two hours prior that they still had the car I was looking at and I drove two hours from Wisconsin to find out they sold the car three days ago. The salesman was the worse. He tried to show me another car that was way out of my budget. I told him my budget and what I wanted for my trade which was fair. They wanted to give me little to nothing for my car and then once he realized that this car was not going to work out, he stopped trying. He did not even see if they had another car within my budget which I know they had probably 10 or more in my budget. He was very unprofessional. I told him I was very unhappy that I drove all that way and because one person told me twice they still had the car and because he could not double check I wasted 5 hours out of my day. All he had to say was that this happens all the time and it will happen at any dealership I go to. Between my family and I we have bought 5 cars from Subaru dealerships and have had nothing but excellent experiences and this was the absolute worse by far. If you want to deal with the typical sleazebag dealership people then come here. More

Like dealing with politicians. They say one thing, and do another. The customer service is horrendous, questions are answered with questions and indirect answers as if they're tryin They say one thing, and do another. The customer service is horrendous, questions are answered with questions and indirect answers as if they're trying to confuse you. Both men I dealt with were both rude, and inconsistent with their stories between the two of them. More

horrible customer service!

As we were negotiating the price, the owner made us feel like we were wasting his time, even though we told him that we were willing to buy 2 cars. I would not recommend this dealership because they are extremely rude and they don't appreciate their customers. More

SUBARU LOVE. It's been 16 years since I've gone car shopping, so you can imagine the anxieties I was having about buying a new car. I've been a fan of the SUV styl It's been 16 years since I've gone car shopping, so you can imagine the anxieties I was having about buying a new car. I've been a fan of the SUV style vehicle, since I owned a '99 Honda CRV. After doing a lot of research online, I learned that the Subaru Forester has had a consistent good rating for some time now. As part of my research I visited several dealerships (i.e Honda, Toyota, Subaru) to see, talk and test drive the various SUV vehicles in their line up. Seeing how the Forester had such high consistent ratings, I decided to go with the 2015 Subaru Forester as my next vehicle that I wanted to invest in. I visited several Subaru dealerships in a span of the month of researching. Of the dealerships, Evanston Subaru really stood out and I naturally felt comfortable to want to work with them on purchasing my next vehicle. There are details that you quickly see about this dealership that puts you at ease. One obvious one is that the appearance of the dealership as you drove into their parking lot looked very professional, modern, and clean. It just gave you that initial feeling that Evanston Subaru cared about their customers by the way they cared about their workplace. The gentleman who I was fortunate to work with was Ludovic "Lou" Perruffel. Lou was very approachable and pleasant. I especially appreciated his professionalism and most of all his down-to-earth, up front approach. I can't express enough how helpful and understanding he was throughout my car buying experience. The finance personnel that I worked with, David, was very professional and really knowlegeable. Being that it was 16 years ago since I last bought a car, Lou and David really did make the effort to make my experience a comfortable and stress-free one. I know that you might be thinking, "who is this person that's providing this rating on Yelp about Evanston Subaru?" "He must work for them?" I promise you, I don't work for the dealership. I'm just an "average joe" customer like everyone else that was lucky enough to have visited Evanston Subaru and Lou. Thanks to them, my anxieties, and nerves about buying a new car after 16 years a less stress, more pleasant car buying experience. So if you're shopping for a new car, even if it's been 16 years or 5 years ago, and you're looking for a great car buying experience....stop in at Evanston Subaru. All their staff there are great to work with. If you run into Lou Perruffel as your salesman, tell him "Henry says hi and that you're looking for that great car buying experience". More

Rod in Sales is great and Dorcy in service has become a dependable friend. Buying a car is only the beginning of a long relationship with a dealer. The service is the key and Evanston Subaru knows that. More
