I had done some reseacher on the different model types online before I went to the dealership. My intent was to just test drive and sticker shop since I was in the beginning stages of looking for a new ca online before I went to the dealership. My intent was to just test drive and sticker shop since I was in the beginning stages of looking for a new car and told that to,Vin Wittmann. He started off by asking my usage for the car, how long I intent to keep the car, and what kind of cars I was comparing to the Subaru. He showed my husband and myself the different models of the Impreza, Forester, and then the CrossTrek. I immediately fell in love with the CrossTrek and during the test drive I knew this was the car for me. Before we left on the test drive he had his fellow team members number chrunch so when we returned to the dealership they were ready if I wanted the car. Also while on the test drive another dealership called about purchasing the CrossTrek that I wanted for another customer. Vin knew our max monthly payment that we could afford and went to bat for us and knew he was under a time constraint since we had a meeting to get to about our son. Vin had Jamie Palazzo calling different lenders to get the best rate and terms for financing (leasing was not an option for us) and John Mailot also made sure of the max monthly payments. I thought that I was going to have to settle for a different model but they all came through to get me the car for the monthly payments that I wanted. I dont know what magic they worked but they all knew I was really excited about the CrossTrek instead of settling for another model. I signed all my paperwork with Scott Cersosimo and he explained all the finance terms, lemon law, and extended warranty. After all the paperwork was signed and car was detailed Vin took the time to help me set up the bluetooth and made sure I knew how to work it. He also took the time to go over the owners manual, quick reference guide, and all the lights and buttons on the dash since the last car I purchased was in 2001. I had mention to Vin, that my previous car I purchased from my cousin who was a sales manager for a Honda dealership at the time and all I did was had to make a call to say this is the car I want and ask he when I wanted it. I will have to say for purchasing my second brand new car this experience was just a easy and painless. Also I work for car insurance company so I speak with a lot of different dealers daily and some are all about the commission. I can honestly say that is was nice to know that I was more then a commission to them and was treated like family just like when I purchased my previous car. Thank you for this painless process and look forward to purchasing another car from Pine Belt Subaru in the future. More

My wife and I were looking for a pre-owned car after the Hurricane claimed hers. I met Jason at a store and he had overheard us talking about our negative dealership experiences in the past, and offered hi Hurricane claimed hers. I met Jason at a store and he had overheard us talking about our negative dealership experiences in the past, and offered his services. My wife gave him a description of what she was looking for, not interested in etc. We stopped by the Subaru dealership a few days later, and Jason had a list of hand picked cars for us to take a look at! That really narrowed it down and made the process a lot easier. My wife, being very specific about her car, was not interested in the first two cars that we looked at. Jason had another idea - a car had come in earlier that day and was being cleaned up in the back. We decided to wait, and another associate Vin offered us Hot Chocolate and some fresh popped popping corn, movie theater style! After a brief wait, the car she was looking for pulled up, an Accord, which she owned before and loved it. Long and short, everything else went smoothly, the price was right (actually lower than what we expected to pay - don't tell them that though!) And we were in and out in around 2 hours. Overall, a great experience. More

Vin helped me get a great deal on a brand new 2013 forester. He explained the entire car top to bottom. The entire staff was very friendly and easy to work with. I will definitely be coming back here forester. He explained the entire car top to bottom. The entire staff was very friendly and easy to work with.

I traveled from CT to visit Pine Belt Subaru in Lakewood, NJ. Jim Pfister kindly greeted me when I walked in and was very helpful and patient with helping me test drive three cars. He was not pushy and was NJ. Jim Pfister kindly greeted me when I walked in and was very helpful and patient with helping me test drive three cars. He was not pushy and was very well informed about the cars. Jamie Palazzo, who managed the financing, was straightforward and easy to deal with. Overall, I was very pleased with my experience at the dealership. It was my first experience buying a car so I was skeptical at first. To fill in more of the details, I had been searching for a specific CPO car and through cars.com I had found a great Outback with low miles at Pine Belt. I had called in to the dealership and spoke to both Ephram and Lisa. Ephram helped me one day and was very helpful. The next day when I called, Ephram was out but Lisa was kind to help answer any question I had. I decided that it would be worth the trip to see the car. However, the car that I had driven almost 4 hours to see was a disappointment. It had a significant amount of dings and it had been a smoking car. I am sure it would still be a good car for somebody but it wasn't for me. Over the phone, I had specifically asked if the car had been smoked in. Lisa said that she would get back to me about that but never did. Perhaps she just forgot but this was a important consideration for me. I also wish she had been more upfront about the dings on the car. That is my only complaint. Had the experience ended there, I would have been disappointed because of my long trip but Jim and Jamie worked hard to find a great car that worked well for me. I settled on a CPO 2013 Outback with low miles for a reasonable price. They seemed to have a good supply of CPO cars. Scott, who helped me with the paperwork, was very friendly and quick. I would surely recommend this dealership to a friend. Thanks to all. Good luck! Mac More

We mentioned during the test drive that the heater blower was not working properly. Before we even got into the truck, we were told that they go over all used vehicles completely and replace or repair whate was not working properly. Before we even got into the truck, we were told that they go over all used vehicles completely and replace or repair whatever is needed before the vehicle gets sold. This comes with a charge to the buyer of $795. We were told by our salesman that he would have it looked at again. We were told during the time we waited to purchase the truck that they would NOT look at it again, as it had already been done. We purchased the truck because it was exactly what we were looking for, however, we think that the blower should be checked out since we are paying for the service. More
