Dawn was a wonderful salesperson. She addressed all my questions, and resolved all my concerns to beyond my satisfaction. Would definitely buy another car from her.

I wasn't financing and Subaru of Puyallup made the process as painless as possible. PS buying a car is never stress free, however they did everything possible to make it the least stressful car purchase I ever had. More
Saturday I called to make an appointment for an oil/filter change and tire rotation. I was told an appointment was not necessary, and to just drop in. Monday I dropped in at 1:23. Samantha greet oil/filter change and tire rotation. I was told an appointment was not necessary, and to just drop in. Monday I dropped in at 1:23. Samantha greeted me and I told her my story and said, "It looks like you are pretty busy." (I work across the street and could have dropped my car off on another day.) She cheerfully said, "We'll take care of you!" I explained that I had accidently left my cell phone at home. Complimentary healthy snacks, water, coffee and tea were provided. There was a tented outside waiting area, as well as the well-appointed lounge with a big screen TV. After waiting an hour in the outside tented area, I checked in at the service desk, and I was told my car was not ready. I did not get the young man's name, but I emphasized that I did not have my cell phone with me and I'd wait in the lounge. After waiting a second hour, I checked in with the young man again. He said my car was being brought up next. I gasped, "You mean my car service has not been started, yet?!" He said my car service had been started and my car will be brought out next. Again I mentioned I did not have my cell phone, and I'd be in the lounge. He said he's make a not of that on the computer system. As I waited the third hour, I saw Samantha walk through the lounge, and attached rooms, calling out customers' names when their service was done. No one ever called my name. After 3 hours of waiting I went to the service counter again, spelled my surname, and I was told they did not have the paperwork for my car. I stated that I had been waiting three hours, an hour ago he had told me my car was being worked on, and I know this service does not take an hour. Samantha told the young man, he did have my paperwork, and showed him it was on the counter in front of him. Then Peter Dela Cruz stepped in, took my paperwork to his computer and desk and explained that they were having computer problems and he was not able to get the part numbers for my invoice. He asked if he could email that to me later. I said he could. He also explained he was not made aware that I did not have my cell phone with me (when I got home I noticed I had received a call from the service department just after 4:00). Peter had me sign the paperwork, and as I pulled out my debit card to make the payment, he said he had already charged off the service. I said, "Oh, you can't do that!" He said it was already done and he apologized for the wait and all the confusion. He explained that the technician found my car had cracked lower front control arms. He carefully explained what that meant and gave me the estimate for repair. It was substantial, and I inquired about the page of service coupons I had brought in that Samantha had taken. Peter printed off more coupons for me. He then walked me out to my car and said he was sorry for the long wait. He explained that it had been a very busy day and they only had one technician working, and he was training another technician. I told him I understood, as my office often has the same type of challenge. Peter Dela Cruz tactfully diffused a touchy situation by being courteous, professional, sympathetic, generous, open and honest. He is a valuable employee and deserves a pay increase! More
TL;DR The most stressful dealership in the history of car dealerships! Pros: - The experience working with sales persons Kirk Schroll and Mark Angeloni was great! - Mark was easygoing when talking about dealerships! Pros: - The experience working with sales persons Kirk Schroll and Mark Angeloni was great! - Mark was easygoing when talking about the price and it was easy to agree on one. We did agree on price quickly over the phone and he confirmed that no extras will be added except for tax, plates, and doc fee (this was a lie, read below). - Kirk helped me with installing cross bars which was very nice! Cons: - Mark Angeloni lied to me about not adding extras. John Newcomb (financing guy) added service plan and extended warranty without even asking me if I want it. He asked me to sign a paper that I accept extended warranty and maintenance plan without telling me that I have to pay for it. I had to ask multiple times before he actually told me that I have to pay for it. I signed a piece of paper that I decline the coverage. I would like to point out that that doc did NOT have an option to decline the coverage. John had to hand write that option in front of me after very stressful conversation. - John asked me to sign on my monthly payment without telling me how it was calculated. - Kirk lied to me that they will check with 8 providers to find the best interest rate for me. John got extremely high rate for me (5%, excellent credit score) and said that based on his 7 years experience and my credit score this is a good rate for me. He didn't even check with my preferred provider that I mentioned in the doc. When I decided to come back tomorrow instead he immediately found 2.4% rate with another bank. This was so stressful! So stressful!!! - Kirk left before John came and came back right after we finished all the docs. He did not stay with us during the most stressful part. - Tire pressure was set to 40 and 41 while instructions on the door recommend 33 and 35. - Protective mask was falling off John face. We saw his nose and mouth many times. This is during Covid time. I got 3 free oil changes and I will update my review about my experience with service department once I get to it. More
We loved our first Outback. In Nov, we were forced to buy a new car due to a terrifying rollover accident that totaled it. We are alive and safe! We were told by EMS that my Subaru saved our lives.

They made everything stress-free even when I ha way I can. I am at awe with the amazing encounter I had with Anthony Davis and the rest of the staff. They made everything stress-free even when I had my two little monsters with us. Anthony made sure to take care of us and made the experience welcoming. I felt comfortable and at ease with every interaction from the greeting to the farewell. Everything was answered to my satisfaction. I even received a follow up phone call but I didn't answer LOL-- because my husband usually does the calls. I enjoy my 2021 Ascent and the stellar service I received. I highly recommend this dealership and most importantly, Anthony "The Awesome" Davis! Thank you a bajillion. More

I can see who well now, just like a new pair of glasses. The selection and purchase was made smooth and seamless by Dave Warmack. He instinctively knew which car I would select after a couple of test drives. Dave was also so helpful teaching me how to operate the many,many functions and inviting me to call and come in with more questions I might have. I very much appreciate this. Matt Harnish made me a great offer on my trade in and final purchase price. Thank you. This is the 3rd new car I have purchased from Harnish. More

Purchased a new car for the first time. Went in knowing the make and model of what I wanted, had negotiated price beforehand, and had no trade-in. How could this go wrong? Well folks, unfortunately this is the make and model of what I wanted, had negotiated price beforehand, and had no trade-in. How could this go wrong? Well folks, unfortunately this is the type of dealership that tacks on those unwanted maintenance plans, extended warranties, and GAP insurance. I verbally declined these items, was never shown numbers associate with them when signing all the paperwork, and walked out of there in 3 hours, including financing, thinking it went pretty smoothly. However, when I got home and read the fine print, there was almost $8,000 dollars in additional ancillary products that had been included in my total financing. All of which, I did not want and did not know I was purchasing. In the middle of a pandemic, where I had been laid off for 3/4 of the year, this dealership is still misrepresenting and lying to customers to get their extra unnecessary charges. Had I not had the inclination to re-read things, I would have just been out the money AND not even known I had paid for any of that. I signed the product cancellation form within two days of purchase, and now wish I had just returned the car and bought elsewhere. It has been 11 weeks and the bank has still not received reimbursement! The dealership told me it would 8 weeks MAX- which I already thought was ridiculous. So here I am, still paying interest on an extra $8k with no end in sight. I've already turned away two friends from purchasing their next vehicle here, and am looking into having to pursue legal options to get my money back. Absolutely disappointed I bought a car with this dealership. More
