Thank you so much for choosing Premier Subaru for your service visit. You join the ranks of many people that are thoroughly impressed with our service department. I am confident that, when the time comes to select a new Subaru, you will have the same great experience with our sales team as well. Here's to many, many trouble-free miles!

Thanks for letting us know about your experience. We are glad you were able to have just as good of an experience with service as you did with our sales department. I always believe it to be important that you get the same level of service after the sale as before. Let us know if we can be of assistance in the future!

Premier Subaru responded

Dear Attorney Oswald/ We believe that your review is unfair - and, your words actually hurtful to our team members. For more than 16 years, we have worked hard to ensure that we exceed the expectations of our customers. We truly care about the experiences that our customers have and, we are proud of our AAA Approval. Our team isn't an embarrassment - as you indicted, yet, is made up of long tenured employees that truly care about the customer experience. We are proud of our team members. While we aren't perfect - we know how to apologize for something that has gone sour and develop plans to correct it - and move beyond it. Customers want to do business with companies that they trust - and we want to be that company. We take complete exception though to the adjectives that you used towards our team members. You have chosen to air a very one sided correspondence into the internet when actually, your unreasonableness is a primary reason for our inability to meet your expectations. The Subaru of America owner's manual is very clear in the manner in which you need to achieve warranty work - and, the need to return to your selling retailer (of which we were not). While you didn't do that, we welcomed you and attempted to understand your frustrations with your audio system. You first brought your car into us on 06/24/2016 for a general service and a radio complaint. Our certified technician completed the work on your vehicle and, was unable to duplicate the issue that you had on your radio. We did indicate that we were expecting updated software and, would download that software when it was received. You spoke with Barbara Mullen, our Customer Concierge, after the service to voice your displeasure and, as an accommodation, Barbara agreed to cover 50% of the cost of a vehicle detail for you. On your service visit (08-03-2016), we downloaded an update to the audio software for your vehicle. When we tested the radio, it showed operating as designed. We indicated to you that, when driving the vehicle, if you found that you did have issues, that, pursuant to the Subaru protocol, you would need to return and we would have to do a more exhaustive diagnosis. During that visit, we also completed the cosmetic detail (we did it as quickly as possible as you ran very late for your appointment), as well as worked with our body shop to obtain an estimate for the damage that the exterior of your vehicle had suffered. As we indicated to you, we have all areas of our operations on camera and, for our mutual protection, video the vehicles for pre-existing damage. We also do a physical inspection of each vehicle - inside and outside - when the cars are received -especially for a detail. It was noted that the scratch on your dashboard was pre-existing and, therefore, not the responsibility of our detailing department. If you also check with your customer receipt, you will notice that Premier Subaru absorbed 100% of the cost of the detail and, not the 1/2 that we had committed too. As you should have been advised by your selling retailer, Subaru's loaner policy for warranty work is governed by the repair time a job takes. So, any of the repairs that you have requested wouldn't have qualified for a loaner vehicle. At Premier Subaru, we do have the largest loaner car fleet in Connecticut and are proud of it. We routinely provide vehicles to our customers when they request it - whether qualified under warranty or not. The priority is to those customers that have purchased cars from us - then, to all others. During your last visit, we had our entire fleet either out with customers - or, pre-reserved. So, it would have been impossible for us to have provided you with a vehicle. Attorney Oswald, your unreasonableness in personal actions caused our entire team to be involved in your situation and, we expected that you would use post such a review. The two employees that you identify have some of the longest tenure with our company and, a quick review of online reviews will show - have some of the strongest reviews of any of our team members. They involved our owner, who also investigated every aspect of your situation. While we are completely empathetic with every customer problem, your personal and attacking manner of dealing with our team wasn't something that anyone should accept.
