I knew that I wanted a Subaru Forester and I knew that Van Bortel had a good reputation for being honest and upright in their dealings with customers. Nate was my sales rep and he took me through the process of getting the right car for me. Plus, I needed a car that day and Nate helped me with all those little details of being able to drive a brand new Forester off the lot. Thank you! More

Exceptional Experience with Nate Chandler I recently worked with Nate Chandler at Van Bortel Subaru of Rochester on the purchase of a Legacy. Nate’s professional, no gimmick approach to workin I recently worked with Nate Chandler at Van Bortel Subaru of Rochester on the purchase of a Legacy. Nate’s professional, no gimmick approach to working with customers enabled me to find the model and trim level which is a pleasure to drive. He answered questions by cell, email, and in person as I worked toward my final choice. When it came to purchase, Nate offered to order the car to my specifications and did not pressure me into purchasing an in stock vehicle or attempt to up sell trim or model. His estimate for delivery time was realistic. It was a delight to receive his call when the car arrived earlier than expected. Nate handled all delivery arrangements closing the sale with an exceptional customer experience. Thanks Nate! More

Brandon and Pete, Kitty and Ruth Wanna buy a car from a vending machine? Me neither. That human experience when one is making such a relatively gigantic decision is so vital. But I Wanna buy a car from a vending machine? Me neither. That human experience when one is making such a relatively gigantic decision is so vital. But I have to say, buying from Van Bortel Subaru of Rochester was such a smooth operation, it was almost like buying from a vending machine, but with that human element we crave at the time we anxiously part with our (hopefully) beloved vehicle and replace it with the new (or new to us) "family member." From the front desk women (wish I remembered their names, sorry, they were awesome!) to Pete, to the used car manager, to Brandon's polite and perfect manner, I couldn't have been more pleased. The add to it that the coffee was sublime, the fireplace so classy, and Ruth... I mean RUTH - a delight of efficiency and right hand to Kitty for over two decades. Stephanie in finance was also perfect. I hope I didn't leave out any names! Back to Brandon. Brandon got back to my texts quickly and efficiently. I'm not the easiest customer (not by a long shot) since I tend to be anxious, as many are when they are dealing with car buying. There were times when I sent a LOT of questions his way. He took it all in stride. I also asked him to air out the vehicle (new car smell isn't my fav, as it is largely chemicals to which I'm sensitive...) and take off the body side panels, have the paperwork pre-printed, and and and... he did all of that like a champ. Thank you Kitty Van Bortel, for your awesome establishment and accommodating and friendly team. More
