MY car buying experience After 9 years and 146000 miles it was time to replace my Saturn Vue.

As Saturn was not in business anymore and GM did not provide great service, I needed to look elsewhere. After reading multiple cars reviews, on line searches and customer satisfaction reports Toyota and Subaru where on the short list. A trusted relative pointed me to Van Bortel Subaru. For the first time in some 50 odd years of car ownership I traveled outside of county to purchase a car. I had to wait two months for delivery. Why? It was worth it. The sales staff was friendly, honest and did not pressure me after the on line searches. The pricing was great and a fair trade in for my car. When I picked up the car service staff assisted in showing us all the new features. I am now sold on Subaru. More
A great stress free dealership to work with. Leasing the 2016 Impreza this week was the 5th car from this dealership for me. I so much appreciate the fact that the deals are straight forward an Leasing the 2016 Impreza this week was the 5th car from this dealership for me. I so much appreciate the fact that the deals are straight forward and there is no negotiating or hassel. The sales reps are knowledgeable, helpful and very professional. As a senior, I liked the extra personnel that went over the "workings" of the car especially all the new features. I love my Impreza, it's a great car and the Van Bortal dealership is a great place.

Two-Legacy Satisfied MY wife bought a 2016 Legacy , her "Dream Car" , from Van Bortel about six months ago. We took the car in for routine service last Saturday and I woun MY wife bought a 2016 Legacy , her "Dream Car" , from Van Bortel about six months ago. We took the car in for routine service last Saturday and I wound up trading my Honda Civic on a sweet 2013 Legacy with one previous owner and only 20K on it ! Also got a $50.00 gift card for test driving a 2016 Impreza. Special thanks to Shawn Pies and Dave Kaser for such a great deal and a fantastic experience. More

Excellent dealership I purchased a 2015 Subaru Outback last year. I had several problems with it right from the start (too many to list).

My salesman, Vince, suggested I speak to Kitty Van Bortel, owner. She reimbursed me for my travel expenses and offered to replace the car. A slight mix up in everyone understanding what she wanted to do, besides, there's a waiting list for this car (4 months). So it took longer than it probably would have, but on Monday the transaction took place. I now have a 2016 Outback at no additional cost to me. In all of my 50 years of buying cars I have never seen or heard of a dealer doing something like this. Many YAHOOS to "Kitty Van Bortel". Please consider purchasing your next vehicle from her. More
New Vehicle Purchase My wife was in the market for a new vehicle and so we had stopped at a few dealerships in the Syracuse area which is only 40 minutes from home. She ha My wife was in the market for a new vehicle and so we had stopped at a few dealerships in the Syracuse area which is only 40 minutes from home. She had her mind set on a certain make and I on a Subaru as I had read numerous articles on both vehicles. After convincing her to at least look at the Subaru Forester we stopped by the local Subaru dealer and she fell in love with it. After the usual test drive with the salesman there explaining all the fancy features of the car we went back and talked trade in value, any sale prices and rock bottom price of the car. Of course the Salesman had to excuse himself to talk to his manager, and the typical waiting period, etc. We left there not quite satisfied with the whole process, it is only 40 minutes from home when service is needed. Our neighbors suggest we try VanBortel in Victor, NY which is 1 hour and 30 minutes from home. Well to make a long stor short we dealt with Vince Bovenzi and walked out of there with a new vehicle at a significance savings. The VanBortel salepeople were very courteous, there was no pressure, we test drove the vehicle without the dealer who said to "take it for a drive and have fun". we sat and talked new car price and trade in price and walked away very satisfied with the whole experience. So if I'm willing to drive 1-1/2 hours from home to by a vehicle then that must say something for VanBortel. Also dealt with Kevin Hunt who processed the final paper work when picking up tje new vehicle and Jake who was an absolute riot to talk to as he went over the eletronics and how everything worked. I would definetly recommend VanBortels to friends and relatives and will continue to do business there in the future. More
Awesome Dealership!!!! This is the second Subaru purchased from Van Bortel. Service is excellent, and the atmosphere is refreshing for a dealership. I especially like the This is the second Subaru purchased from Van Bortel. Service is excellent, and the atmosphere is refreshing for a dealership. I especially like the fact that you can order exactly what you want right down to the accessories AND its thousands less than other dealers in the area. I highly recommend this dealership for anyone looking for a Subaru. More
Outstanding dealership I'm not a youngster (75) and have purchased many new cars in my lifetime. Van Bortel is certainly second to none in my book. They spent almost an hour I'm not a youngster (75) and have purchased many new cars in my lifetime. Van Bortel is certainly second to none in my book. They spent almost an hour explaining both the electronics and mechanical features to my Subaru Outback and offered a solid trade in value for my 2011 Infiniti G37X. They were extremely thorough. My wife took delivery in early Sept for her 2016 Outback 3.6R and I was so impressed by the handling, visibility and well appointed interior that I bought an identical Outback 5 months later.
