I am a senior and over the years I have purchased many new automobiles, but never did I have a better buying experience than I did at Van Bortel Subaru. My salesperson, Shawn Pies, was the best salesperso new automobiles, but never did I have a better buying experience than I did at Van Bortel Subaru. My salesperson, Shawn Pies, was the best salesperson anyone could ask for. He gave me a fair price and answered all my questions. In fact, all the people having to do with my purchase were the best at their jobs and easy to work with. More
BEST DEALERSHIP I HAVE EVER WORKED WITH IN 40 YEARS OF DRIVING!!!!! I chose Van Bortel for their honesty,value and superior service. If a dealer is scheduling several weeks out it usually means they prov DRIVING!!!!! I chose Van Bortel for their honesty,value and superior service. If a dealer is scheduling several weeks out it usually means they provide honest and excellent service so EVERYONE wants to go there!!! If I need a New York State Inspection I know a whole year in advance and plan for it as responsible people should. I have also used their EXPRESS SERVICE without an appointment for simple services such as an inspection and oil changes and I LOVE IT!!!! To Mr 1 Star Negativity you should know they and all other dealers offer EXPRESS SERVICE quit being ENTITLED AND RUDE please be respectful!!!! More
Initial purchase experience was fantastic! THEN THE UGLY TRUTH about this dealership reared its' ugly head! Called to make a NYS Inspection for my cash-purchased, brand-new, 2022 Subaru Fore THEN THE UGLY TRUTH about this dealership reared its' ugly head! Called to make a NYS Inspection for my cash-purchased, brand-new, 2022 Subaru Forester with only 6,900 current mileage. First off, no express service, even though they advertise it. RUDE AND UNCARING scheduler. NO OFFER OF A LOANER, EVEN THOUGH THEY PROMISE ONE AT VEHICLE PURCHASE. Two weeks minimum to get vehicle in to their service department, and only if I drop it off early in morning and pick it up in late evening... for a simple NYS Inspection on a new vehicle! One full month wait for service in which I could wait in waiting-room while service performed. Seriously? I (finally) spoke with Kitty VanBortel after numerous attempts by me to speak with a REAL PERSON about this ridiculous situation. (The dealership loves to send you to voice-mails, even after asking to speak with a real person). KITTY VAN BORTEL was more concerned about a negative review from me than she was about actually helping ! I ended up taking my new Subaru down the road to another dealership and getting it inspected. It took 45 minutes total for a walk-in without an appointment. Now THAT is service! More
