First Time Car Buyer - No Complaints A+ I walked into Subaru of Clear Lake (henceforth written as SCL) in Houston, TX on Valentine's day with the intention of taking home either a 2015 WRX o I walked into Subaru of Clear Lake (henceforth written as SCL) in Houston, TX on Valentine's day with the intention of taking home either a 2015 WRX or 2015 BRZ. As much as I wanted that to happen, I had my doubts because, while my credit score was fair, I had very little credit history (only a couple school loans to be more precise). I guess it would be more appropriate to say that my credit score was untarnished. There wasn't enough activity on it to either bring it down or pull it up any significant amount. That being said, I wasn't so sure if I'd be driving away in anything other than the Volkswagen I pulled up in as I needed a loan to make this happen - and make it happen they did. The first thing that I noticed when I pulled up to SCL was that I was able to park my car and walk into the dealership without feeling like a scavenged piece of meat. I was pleasantly greeted by the young woman at the front desk who swiftly called Bradley, from sales, over after hearing the reason for my visit. At other dealerships, I absolutely hate it when I'm "picked off" before I even step out of the car that I pulled up in. I understand the idea behind it, but it's just a little much in my opinion. As stated earlier, I had doubts surrounding my financial situation so I decided to be very open in conversation. I let Bradley know what was going on, and he led me to a financial manager to answer any questions that I had. We only spoke briefly so I do not remember his name, but he was very helpful and answered all of my questions directly. After that exchange, my confidence was restored and I returned to Bradley to begin shopping. I was stuck between the practicality and power of the 2015 WRX and the impractical, much slower, but arguably more fun, 2015 BRZ. I ended up test driving both: a Dark Grey Metallic BRZ 6AT Limited and a World Rally Blue WRX 6MT base model. Bradley knows cars and, more importantly, understands the car enthusiast. There wasn't a spiel about practicality, fuel economy, or "hey, look at this shiny thing that you should base this entire purchase on" because he knew that none of that mattered to me. I was looking for a car that would provide me with the most enjoyable owner's experience overall (as an enthusiast) and he helped me make that decision. After fighting with myself for a good half-hour, I decided to go with the BRZ. Now that we knew what I wanted, we knew how much of a loan I'd need after my down payment. I don't remember his name, but the gentleman who negotiated with Chase Bank got me a much lower rate than I was expecting given my situation. I wish I could recall his name because that guy made this whole thing possible. Cheers to you, man. Now for the paperwork. Ryan Wiseman out of Tennessee. He made all of the boring paperwork make sense and we got everything done in a timely manner. On top of that, he's a real nice guy to just sit down and talk with. Really took the edge off of signing away that kind of money. TL;DR These guys made it happen. Simple as that. I was a little skeptical as a first time buyer but Subaru of Clear Lake made the experience a very pleasant and hassle-free one. I will be buying all of you guys a metaphorical beer. Cheers. More

Subaru of Clear Lake was an impressive dealership. More
Excellent New Subaru Dealership! We had wanted to get an Outback for several months but waited for this dealership to open up because it was closer to home. We ended up buying the fi We had wanted to get an Outback for several months but waited for this dealership to open up because it was closer to home. We ended up buying the first car at this brand new dealership, and I'm glad we waited for it! The entire team, including sales staff, finance office, and general manager were excellent, professional, and helpful. They took good care of us throughout the process and made our first car purchase a very enjoyable experience! Casey (the general manager) has put together a great team! We had the pleasure of working with Tom, Joe, Ryan, and Casey. More

The sales team and managers are very upfront and try to accommodate your needs to make sure you leave happy with the vehicle you want. I got a great deal and couldn't be happier with my purchase. I didn't feel lied to or pushed into a corner over a purchase. The salesmen Tin treated me as more of a friend then a costumer/commission and seemed to be very cognizant about the vehicle i purchased. Thanks Clear Lake Subaru!!! More

Just bought an awesome Outback! The newly opened Subaru of Clear Lake gave us a truly exceptional car buying experience. The dealership is easy to find, very clean, modern and state The newly opened Subaru of Clear Lake gave us a truly exceptional car buying experience. The dealership is easy to find, very clean, modern and state of the art with a wide selection of awesome cars to choose from. We were greeted by one of the most courteous and knowledgeable sales person, Tin Tran. My husband and I originally planned to visit 3 dealerships in our search for a new car with Subaru of Clear Lake as our first stop. Well, we never made it to the other 2. After Tin Tran showed us around the lot full of beautiful Subarus, we test drove an Outback and shortly went home with one. None of the usual badgering and hard haggling common in other dealerships. If you're looking for a new car make Subaru of Clear Lake your first stop like we did and look for Tin Tran. More

I had the pleasure t I just purchased a used Hyundai Tucson today at the brand new Subaru Dealership in Clear Lake. The brand new facility is awesome! I had the pleasure to meet several of the sales and management staff and have never had a better experience buying a car. Noel was my salesman and he his sales manager were very helpful and polite. I purchased the vehicle for my teenage daughters and the staff went home with me to let them both check out the car and get the final "OK", and then drove the vehicle after closing the deal. I highly recommend this dealership and I will definitely send friends and family there to do business. Thanks again for the great deal! More
