I recently had my car serviced at Subaru in Carlsbad, and as always, they did an excellent job. Josie kept me updated on wait times and made sure I knew I hadn’t been forgotten, which I really appreciated. as always, they did an excellent job. Josie kept me updated on wait times and made sure I knew I hadn’t been forgotten, which I really appreciated. Everyone I encountered was helpful and professional. They even went out of their way to open the door when they saw you walking up—such a small gesture, but it really stood out and made the experience feel welcoming. What I love most is that while you’re waiting, they send you a video showing exactly what they’re inspecting and working on, along with a clear explanation. To me, that’s truly above and beyond. It gives me confidence that they’re being transparent and honest. I honestly can’t imagine going anywhere else that doesn’t offer that level of service. Highly recommended! More

First: the advisor Lester, was phenomenal. Second: Beyond that, the women answering the phone at the service department were rude to the point of hanging up on me twice. Before that I left two messages which that, the women answering the phone at the service department were rude to the point of hanging up on me twice. Before that I left two messages which were never returned until I left one to Lester’s direct line. He called me back within the hour. Third: $100 for an oil change is shameful. Fourth: A part was ordered and I was never advised it was in. Was told two or three days. If it wasn’t for me calling 10 days later, I’d still be wondering. So much for customer service. Fifth: Again Lester was the only bright spot in this encounter. He was thorough, respectful and took the time to go over things in detail. You should keep him around, he will help you clean your act up. People go to a dealer for a specific level of service. The advisor can only do so much. This boils down to poor leadership and management. While Covid is responsible for some of todays issues, dealers need to be aware of this and adjust accordingly. Your dealership has failed the primary responsibility: CUSTOMER SERVICE. More
