Didn't want to have a conversation, just dictated cost. Requested Invoice: no. Higher dealer fee : didn't care. I was buying 2 cars not 1: didn't matter.

Johnny at Van Subaru was excellent. They had the car we wanted and we bought it with him. The process was easy and efficient. We were out of town when it came in and they allowed us to They had the car we wanted and we bought it with him. The process was easy and efficient. We were out of town when it came in and they allowed us to purchase it completely virtually so our son could pick it up. So convenient and simple. Johnny did not have the style of car we wanted at the dealership but he drove the same car and allowed us to sit in and look at his car so we would know. He even offered to let us test drive his car. Great service, easy process. And we LOVE the Legacy! More
Wouldn't honor Sam's Club Warehouse pricing that they had signed up for and sent to me. Managers never responded to my email or voicemail. Never heard from either. Trade in offer was the lowest I received on signed up for and sent to me. Managers never responded to my email or voicemail. Never heard from either. Trade in offer was the lowest I received on our vehicle out of multiple dealers. Bought a Subaru from another local dealer who provided not only a significantly better trade in price, but didn't have a dealer markup and they were extremely responsive. More
Terrible customer service. After spending over $1200 in service they ordered a part for me, simple side mirror back. I never received a call the part was in. A couple months went by and I called to confi service they ordered a part for me, simple side mirror back. I never received a call the part was in. A couple months went by and I called to confirm they had the part, a month later I scheduled time for the part to be installed. When I got there they sent the part back because they only hold them 30 days. I was treated terrible and they acted like I should have known this policy. There was no phone call telling me they part was going to be sent back. There was never an apology or acknowledgment of the situation, just a rude customer service rep! More
Had a great experience at Van Subaru. My salesman, Johnny Wickwire, did a great job, not over bearing, give me all the answers I needed to make my choice in the right vehicle for me. When I arrived, he had t Wickwire, did a great job, not over bearing, give me all the answers I needed to make my choice in the right vehicle for me. When I arrived, he had things ready to roll, and made it a quick in and out experience. Highly recommend the dealership. More
Preface - this is the first review I have EVER written for (or against) anything! The single star is only due to the excellent job of the sales staff, and the excellent maintenance quality performed previ for (or against) anything! The single star is only due to the excellent job of the sales staff, and the excellent maintenance quality performed previously. I have no issues with the quality of the maintenance performed, or the reliability of the Outback we own. To the issue at hand. Disappointed in the Service Department customer counter interaction is the worst me or my wife, ever have experienced. Whether me or my wife are off base or not, the service department rep should be professional, reasonably respectful, and forthright suggesting maintenance repairs. Service Rep interaction failed in all areas. High Pressure, deflection, intimidation, are standard practice experiences through more than one visit. Typical example - fluid maintenance change is introduced as first fowled dirty, when asked how this happens in a 2018 Outback with 30K, then not debris - over heat break down due to driven conditions, then next - it's a normal maintenance interval to perform every 30K. Told metal shavings found in the brake fluid. Asked a question regarding whether the warranty is active, answer - I'm only helping out the guy handling this service? For what was an appointment for oil and tire rotation became a service maintenance invoice over $1000.00. My wife declined various tasks and after an agreed discount escaped under $700.00. After 3 hours the exit interview got worse. Another counter rep intervened after my wife made several request for her keys. Side Note - My wife is disabled and I work out a town. Wanna bet whether we'll be back there or not? I’m not paid to be part of the service rep BETA team. More
I am gave the poor rating. Due the the poor management team. Call for an appointment, before I knew it I had two appointments. The new car sales manager call me wondering what h Due the the poor management team. Call for an appointment, before I knew it I had two appointments. The new car sales manager call me wondering what he could to to purchase a new car from Van. WHAT, told him all I wanted to do is have an oil change and a hitch installed, why in the world would I want another new vehicle. Continued to receive multiple appointment notices, finally I was called by the service department curious why I had two service times, all I could say was you made it for me. Take the car in for my service and was told it may not be done the same day......What is the appointment for? Yes, I received a call telling me the service would not be competed the same day. A bit later I called told them to do the oil change and tire rotation an I will spend my money elsewhere. Five minutes later I get a call back telling me it will be completed that day. Pick up our vehicle and have bird poop all over and of course the car was never detailed, I was told they do not have the employees to detail the cars. After talking to a couple of "suites", I was convinced they should be fired and hire the employees back. I could go on forever. My sales person was worthless, he buried his head like a frightened turtle. The general manager offed me a free car wash, sure I will drive an hour round trip for a car wash that should have happened that day. Even more impressive is he offered a valet service next time I need service, so generous, of course I am going to let a complete stranger pick up my car and drive it around. This is what the GM of Van thinks of quality customer service. My first service experience at VAN.....Fire the "suites" and hire back the hard working employees. PS: I asked if they would let a new car off the lot with bird poop all over it? More
Wanted me to pay for their mistake Took my Legacy in for the airbag recall. Got it back with the AIRBAG light lit. Took it back in and was told that it was a pre-existing problem (it Took my Legacy in for the airbag recall. Got it back with the AIRBAG light lit. Took it back in and was told that it was a pre-existing problem (it wasn't), not related to the work they had done and that they'd be "happy" to quote me a price for the repair. Their guy Preston was pretty smug about it. Turns out the technician had forgotten to plug part of the wiring harness back in. Van wasn't willing to own up to their mistake, but would be happy to charge me to get recall work done right. More
