This is my 3rd Subaru from Van Bortal, so have come to expect an uncomplicated, experience, with no pressure...but this time, with Ben's help, I can actually describe it as having been "fun". He was ext expect an uncomplicated, experience, with no pressure...but this time, with Ben's help, I can actually describe it as having been "fun". He was extremely knowledgeable about the car, all the features, etc...but the whole thing felt like talking with a really interesting friend who, by the way, sells cars...drove away feeling extremely satisfied and content...Kitty has managed to craft a delightfully uncomplicated process in a field with can be the poster child for complicated and stressful/fraught with doubt, and then hiring a group of incredibly competent and friendly people who are there to assist you.....all that added to the fact that Subarus are such great cars!!! thanks Ben!!!

The best car buying experience ever! I came to Van Bortel after having a bad experience at a different Subaru dealer in the area, and I'm so glad I did. Not only were they transparent, responsive, and person after having a bad experience at a different Subaru dealer in the area, and I'm so glad I did. Not only were they transparent, responsive, and personable.. but they also got me more car for less money than the other dealer would have, and gave me way more money for my trade in. I cannot reccomend them highly enough. There was none of the sleeziness that I normally associate with car dealers. I felt like family from the first contact with the staff. More

By far the best dealership I’ve purchased a vehicle from! I’m very picky and quite frankly not easy to deal with when shopping for vehicles. I don’t like to be bothered while I look around and VanBortel is I’m very picky and quite frankly not easy to deal with when shopping for vehicles. I don’t like to be bothered while I look around and VanBortel is my favorite place to shop for vehicles. They allow you to window shop and when you are ready to discuss a vehicle that you like, they are patiently waiting to help. I’ve never been pressured by any sales person shopping at VanBortel and my next vehicle will be from VanBortel! Excellent customer service and great employees! Keep up the great work Kitty, well done! More
I originally began my VanBortel relationship in Victor. My wife wanted and we purchased a 2004 Subaru Forester. In 2019, she wanted to try a new Forester using a lease. This we did. Fast forward to today, My wife wanted and we purchased a 2004 Subaru Forester. In 2019, she wanted to try a new Forester using a lease. This we did. Fast forward to today, My wife wanted to trade to a preowned 2017 Forester Limited and this we did, recently. She is much more satisfied with the 2017 Forester Limited. It has fewer "man-machine" (bells and whistles) interface challenges for her. We purchased this 2017 by trading in my 2007 Toyota Sienna XLE. I plan to use the 2019 until the end of the lease. Then I will decide what to do for my next vehicle. Thank Vince Bovenzi and all the supporting team members. The process was facilitated by these fine people. I plan to solicit the people at Van Bortel as we go forward with out two Subaru Forester vehicles. Please contact me with any questions you may have. Stephen A. Bonacci More
