West Houston Subaru

Intimidation & misleading information We left $500, non refundable, deposit and request for certification of vehicle. Were informed certification would take extra day due to hail damage ne We left $500, non refundable, deposit and request for certification of vehicle. Were informed certification would take extra day due to hail damage needing repair. In the interim, we found a better deal at Gillman Subaru. Gilman also informed us that it is illegal for the dealer to take a non refundable deposit. Prior to West Houston Subaru (WHS) scheduling a 3rd party hail damage repair company to come fix the dents, we contacted our sales rep and informed him that we had found a better deal, and we appreciated his time and assistance but that we were going with the other vehicle. His immediate response, that same evening, was "you did sign a non refundable". The next morning he left an amiable toned message to let us know they went ahead and scheduled the hail damage guy to come out the following day. Then he reminded us again that we did sign a non refundable deposit agreement and that they will have to pay a $225 minimum to the hail damage guy (even before he had come out to do work). We left a message in return telling him that we had let him know the day before that we were not going to go through with that car and whatever he has to pay the hail damage guy can be taken from the $500 (which we were just counting as a loss). He then called us back and while we were speaking with him he brought into question my honor as a military man as well as an American citizen. When we reiterated that we were going with the other deal because it was better, he hung up on us. The tone of the call was very intimidating. Gillman auto offered to help us get back the $500 as it works as illegal for them to require that of us. Take your business to Gillman! More

West Houston Subaru is the most trust worthy dealership. We have purchased at least 7 cars from them and have never walked away feeling like we have been schamed. When is the most trust worthy dealership. We have purchased at least 7 cars from them and have never walked away feeling like we have been schamed. When our daughter went away to college, in Stephenville, we wanted to make sure she had a vehicle that was safe and reliable for her, so we talked with Steve Palmisano and purchased a new Outback Sport for her. We live in Bay City Texas and travel 72 miles just to buy and get service from them. More

Rob in the service center is horrible I have been dealing with Rob in the service center for the past 7 years and I have no idea why he is still employed at this dealership. He is very co I have been dealing with Rob in the service center for the past 7 years and I have no idea why he is still employed at this dealership. He is very condescending to this customers and will not acknowledge anyone that comes in for service. Many times I have stood right in front of him and he refuses to acknowledge me, look up from reading, or stop idle small talk with his fellow employees, just completely ignores me like I’m a ghost. He is a very miserable person to deal with and always a hassle. This is not a case of Rob having a bad day, he has always been difficult to deal with since I purchased my car here. . Once he does decide to talk to you he will not make eye contact, mumbles his responses and is very dismissive of any questions you may have. I know the dealership has had many complaints about him as he treats all the customers in this same manor, however the dealership refuses to do anything about it. He doesn't seem to grasp the fact he is in the service industry, and treats customers with contempt and as if they are lucky to have a moment of his time to discuss thousands of dollars’ worth of work on their vehicles. He needs to be reprimanded and retained. He has been at the dealership so long he has become surly and unapproachable. It’s to the point I dread even taking to him on the phone. Many others I talk to that get their vehicles serviced here will purposely go out of their way to deal with one of the other service reps just to avoid Rob. For this reason alone I would never purchase another vehicle here no matter the deal they could possibly give me, it’s not worth dealing with Rob for more years to come. More

A vey nice experience I was given pricing online (Troy Lynn) and it was much less than another dealer. Went in and purchased the vehicle. No issues. We did have a trade I was given pricing online (Troy Lynn) and it was much less than another dealer. Went in and purchased the vehicle. No issues. We did have a trade and an offer from Texas Direct. With less tax on the new vehicle, I came out about $500 more than Texas Direct. More

Dishonest sales person . I contacted West Houston Subaru online and ask if this location was a authorized dealer under the COSTCO program. I was contacted by Ryan Nguyen and . I contacted West Houston Subaru online and ask if this location was a authorized dealer under the COSTCO program. I was contacted by Ryan Nguyen and he stated YES this location was part of the COSTCO program and sent me a price on a vehicle I was interested and clearly in the quote it states COSTCO price. I was then told I only had 5 days to put down a deposit of $500.00 although the vehicle was in transit and not available for 15-30 days. After the deposit was made I was told the deposit was non refundable. I told Ryan that I had a vehicle to trade and that a dealer in the Dallas area offered me 13,750.00 as the vehicle is in excellent condition. Well 20 days later I get a call that the car is in and we can drive 250 miles to get the new car. When we get there as he holds your deposit as ransomed, the dealer low xxxxx the trade in ($12,000.00) in hopes you cave in. I got up and walked out. drove to Gillman Subaru, who is a COSTCO dealer. I saved over $2,000.00 More

Vince Ramacca and West Houston Subaru went above and beyond! As an out of state buyer, I would recommend West Houston Subaru to everyone that I know. I purchased a used Honda Accord from Vince Ramacca awhile bac As an out of state buyer, I would recommend West Houston Subaru to everyone that I know. I purchased a used Honda Accord from Vince Ramacca awhile back and still feel that it was the best decision that I could have made; this is why: I looked all around the country for the best deal that I could find on a used Toyota Corolla and West Houston Subaru had it, so I got in touch with a sales guy by the name of Vince Ramacca. Vince spoke with me and confirmed that he had the Toyota in stock, he also confirmed the sales price and car details. After talking to him for awhile he started to understand the reasons behind why exactly I wanted the that particular vehicle. After listening, he began to let me know that I had other options based upon my ideal vehicle criteria. He was not pushy or like a typical car salesman but rather informative and understanding. We went back back and forth via email for a some time and I finally decided on a lightly used Honda Accord. He took the effort and the time to work with me to find the perfect car that fit my needs/wants. I was not just another "sale" like I had been at every other dealership that I spoke with. A few weeks after our initial discussion, I flew down to Houston from Kansas City and Vince even went so far as to pick me up from the airport in the Honda that I ended up purchasing!!! He had me out and on my way within a few hours and to this day, I feel that Vince made all the difference in my purchase satisfaction. I will be purchasing all of my cars from Vince in the future and my family has done and will do the same. In all, I have never found a more caring, professional or intelligent car salesmen than Mr. Ramacca. In addition, I don't typically write reviews, but I feel that the service I received at West Houston Subaru and with Vince truly warranted a great review because they went way above and beyond the call of duty for me!

Terrible experience COMPLETELY DEGRADING TO WOMEN. Joe was/is absolutely the most disrespectful, disinterested, arrogant salesperson my daughter has ever dealt with. Laug COMPLETELY DEGRADING TO WOMEN. Joe was/is absolutely the most disrespectful, disinterested, arrogant salesperson my daughter has ever dealt with. Laughed at her questions and lectured her on how dumb he thought her questions were. Far more interested in talking down to her than in helping her determine if their used Impreza was the right car for her. It appears that Joe has had other complaints from people mad enough to post a complaint, yet he still works there. What does that say about Joe's bosses? If you are a woman, don't even bother wasting your time with these people. More
