This dealership finance dept will drop the ball on the paperwork and take no accountability. I had a lease agreement 15,000/year for 3 years totally 45,000 miles. Spent hours with our salesman waiting to close the deal. After 6 hrs we meet with finance dept. Went through all the agreements looked them over with a fine tooth comb. Asked questions on everything signed and initial. Signed and drove away in my new car. Received a phone call 2 weeks later stating there was an "oops in the finance dept" we messed up on the mileage on the lease agreement. The mileage we agreed on and the monthly payment we agreed on. They made a deal that they werent going to make a profitable return on. So, they wanted me to sign a new agreement with less miles same monthly payment as the 1st agreement. I felt played. I felt like I asked the correct question and went over the fine print. They took advantage and took no accountability for their screw up. So please be very careful when doing deals at any dealership especially at Rimrock subaru. They will screw you over and enjoy it. I will not be doing business there again. They should of stuck to their word or offered a solution that would work between both parties. I felt bullied and belittled into signing a new lease so they could save their own behinds. They bullied me into feeling responsible for their mess up. I wish I could of given my car back after this experience. Hopefully I can assist someone else from making the same mistake of trust them. UPDATE-The sales manager BJ called once he got wind of the matter and he made the correct calls in this matter. He got us into another car. No lease and was pleasant to work with. He was there from start to finish and made it a smooth process. I would definitely purchase another vehicle from BJ and Rimrock Subaru. More

I thought I might share my experience here so others can make an informed decision. Subject: Customer Concerns Thank you for taking the time to speak with me today. I am sorry to have been so direct but our experience with Rimrock Subaru has been nothing short of excruciating. Perhaps a review of our experience will serve to illustrate why. We contacted James on 11/30 (following our test drive of 11/27) and told him we were interested in discussing the purchase of a 2016 Forester. The 0% APR and the incentive for XXXXX XXXXX employees made the purchase attractive. I was later told the XXXX XXXXx deal was "old" and the current deal was superior to it. In either regard, following a protracted negotiation, we left the dealership after our price could not be met. James followed us out to our vehicle twice with the final trip serving as an acknowledgement our price had been approved by you. He asked me to phone him later with my credit card number to place a $3000 down payment for the 0% APR which I did. I returned to the dealership on 12/2 to complete the purchase. It was at this time I was a) informed our purchase would not be at 0% APR but that b) we could finance at a rate of 1.9%. The second statement turned out to be false. During a subsequent conversation with you I was told we negotiated such a competitive rate the 0% APR would not be extended. Had this ever been communicated with me I may have reconsidered my purchase. As it was, I was passed on to Tony to finalize the financing. Tony told me there was no way 1.9% would be possible. However, if I was willing to extend the length of the loan, he could get a good rate with an extended warranty. I crunched the numbers on my phone and the deal looked competitive. I reviewed the total loan amount (reflecting financing the full price of the vehicle) and signed my portions of the documents. Tony said he would leave the paperwork for "the new guy to finish" and I could expect to make my first payment on 1/15/16. I returned the next day for a loaner vehicle and was told our new vehicle would be ready by 12/31/15. We were contacted by James on or about 12/27/15 to let us know the vehicle had arrived and asking us when we would like to pick it up. We confirmed my wife would pick it up on 12/30/15. When my wife arrived to pick up the vehicle she identified the fog lights we negotiated as part of our purchase were not included. We were asked to schedule a service appointment at a future date for their installation. I contacted James on 1/5/16, as we had not received an invoice for our first car payment. James was very responsive and contacted Scott on our behalf. Scott informed us Tony never completed the loan paperwork. Further, the paperwork required my wife's signature so she made time to go to the dealership and sign the documents. During the signing, Scott noticed Tony did not have me sign an essential document. This required a separate trip by me to the dealership to complete. Scott told me either Rimrock Subaru or Chase would contact us for the first payment. Neither party ever contacted me. Thankfully, I bank with Chase and noticed a new loan account. I made a payment on 1/15/16. Scott contacted me on 1/26/16 stating a $3000 payment should have been taken from my credit card when the vehicle was financed. I told him I reviewed the financial documents with Tony and the total financed was the purchase price of the vehicle. Scott informed me the price I reviewed was less the $3000. The $3000 was, roughly, the price of the extended warranty. I reviewed what Tony told me; the warranty was available if I extended the length of the loan. Scott appreciated my concern and confusion but told me he needed $3000. We paid the extra $3000 on 1/26/16 but I told Scott I was extremely dissatisfied and would be sharing my experience in both professional and personal settings. He offered me an oil change and I told him a $3000 oil change did not interest me. My wife made a service appointment for 9 AM on Saturday 2/6/16. After dropping the vehicle with the service department and waiting for 1.5 hours she was told the fog light package ordered was incorrect and she would need to make another appointment. As the above clearly illustrates, we have had a miserable experience with your dealership. We have been told one thing and then had something else occur. We have been taken advantage of and had our time wasted. As I told Scott, if I could return the vehicle and wash my hands of the whole sorry situation I would. More

My flight was arriving at 7:00 p.m., so we arranged to have the car left outside with the key under the mat. I confirmed this with three different people, including the service specialist, technician, and even the service manager. When I arrived back in town, the car was locked in a secured area. I could not access it. It was not left in the public parking lot as promised. I was able to have a helpful member of the sales team let me into the secured area. When I got there though, the key was not under the mat. The key was locked up in the service department. I still do not have the keys to my car, home, or office. And I live over five hours away. This has turned into a disaster, I would not ever recommend Rimrock service. More

They bait with unavaileable vehicles These guys set bait online with deals that are not actually available, then try to sell you something else. I called on a vehicle and was told it was These guys set bait online with deals that are not actually available, then try to sell you something else. I called on a vehicle and was told it was out on a test drive. The salesman wanted to help me find another car. I've called multiple times on the same car, each time it's unavailable. Meanwhile online, they raise the price on the same vehicle only to drop it again (I know because I am notified via the AutoList app each time it drops, which is every couple of days). I'm sure they probably do this with several different vehicles. Slimey tactics. I've talked to several other people with similar experiences. More
Worked out just how I wanted :) We went in, found the car, and they did everything they could to make it so I got the car I wanted. They were more then willing to do what it took.

The whole buying situation was very low pressure, yet he was attentive and followed up any questions or concerns I am now the owner of a 2016 Outback. In addition to Nick, I was also impressed with a gentleman named BJ. He showed a lot of character in how he handled a situation that came up. We walked away knowing that we would do business there again. More

Nick came out to greet us and hung around about 45 minutes while we walked around the lot several times. I finally told him maybe he should grab a coat. lol He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions we had and helped us find a beautiful 2016 Outback Limited. It was a pleasure dealing with him. Eric ,BJ and everyone else on the staff were very kind and helpful too. The following Monday we went back to drop off some paperwork and BJ put us in a demo until our autostart was through being installed. Very Nice. Thanks Rimrock for making our car purchase a pleasurable experience. We will definitely recommend you to our friends. More
